Description
The PID Temperature Control Retrofit Kit is a product designed for the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine. It uses a PID controller, which is a more advanced version of a thermostat, to maintain a precise and consistent temperature for brewing espresso. The kit includes a custom-made temperature controller, a stainless steel panel, a solid state relay, a platinum RTD temperature sensor, high-temperature resistant wires, and an installation guide. It is specifically designed for the Rancilio Silvia and can keep the temperature within a range of 0.5 degrees Celsius. The kit also allows for adjustable brewing temperature and has high-temperature endurance parts for durability. Its design matches the look of the Rancilio Silvia for a seamless integration.
PID stands for proportional–integral–derivative and PID controllers are basically more sophisticated versions of thermostats. Rather than simply switching the heating element on and off when certain thresholds are reached, PID controllers can understand the trajectory of the temperature, and apply finer control to when the heating element goes on.
The upshot is simple - the temperature can be maintained in a much narrower range, and more precise temperature control means better, more consistent espresso!
