A low cost adiabatic process controller for measurement of heat evolved during fermentation

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A control system for maintaining a fermentation process in an adiabatic condition using equipment commonly available in a research laboratory is described. It consists of a water bath controlled at the same temperature as that of the fermentation chamber by means of a temperature differential sensing circuit.
