[HBF] 220 Volt Heater

[Thomas Rohner]

Hi Andy
the part you need is called a PID temperature controller. You might
as well need a temp. probe (thermocouple) if it is not supplied with
the controller. These devices are also used for building RIMS systems.
Omega Engineering, Inc. (Part #CN8590-DC1) would be a possible device.
If your load exceeds the rating of the PID output stage, you need
a solid state relay or something similar.
As a electronics engineer i give you the advice that you should only
work with 200 Volts in a wet enviroment, if you know what you do.
That means especially proper grounding. And the use of a ground fault
protector is mandantory. (If you lov your live)
2. thought: if the temperature precision is not so critical, you could
as well use a electromechanic thermostat. This will be much cheaper,
but the rating of the contacts have to be considered as well.

happy brewing and building

Thomas
