Dear all,
This post is connected to a previous one, but since the questions are different and independent, I preferred to separate them into two posts. I need to replicate a very simple experiment, but I have some doubts about the necessary electrical components to execute it. Specifically, I need to heat water to reach the desired temperature at a specific °C/min rate.
I was considering purchasing this component:

and a PT100 thermocouple.
However, I still have a few questions:
Best regards,

and a PT100 thermocouple.
However, I still have a few questions:
- Obviously, I need to purchase an electric heater capable of bringing the water from 0°C to the desired temperature, and sizing this is not a problem for me. However, I am unsure which type of immersion heater would be suitable for my purpose. What characteristics should it have?
- Will I be able to directly connect the heater to that PID controller, or will I need an additional component?
- Do you know where I could purchase an immersion heater like the one in the attached image?
- If I want to generate a data plot on my computer, will I need to purchase an additional component? If so, which one?
Best regards,
