More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a control system for controlling a heater (102), the control system comprising:a power converter (116) including a power switch (206) and operable to generate an adjustable output voltage;a sensor circuit (208) configured to measure at least one of a voltage and an electric current of the heater (102); anda controller (104) connected to the power converter (116), wherein the controller (104) is configured todetermine an input parameter based on the at least one of the voltage and the electric current,determine the output voltage applied for the heater (102) based on the input parameter and a desired setpoint, wherein the desired setpoint is based on an operational state of the heater (102), andoperate the power switch (206) of the power converter (116) to generate the output voltage.
