Looks like thermostats to monitor thermal-stores & hot-water tanks over-temperature hazards are fairly crude devices ... the water shouldn't boil & lead to over-pressure due to the steam ... but the usual overheat 'stats are normally set to cut-in at about 85degC, to be on the safe side, whereas for max' heat capacity / economical 'store size, it would be good to run with teh water close to boiling - say 95degC (which washing machines seem to manage) - plus they require a button-press to reset ...
so, 'wonder it Idratek could help ... the logic could be smarter (!), and maybe Reflex could be used to provide safety in-case of of PC failure or Windows going off on a jaunt & getting stuck ... what sort of temperature sensor would one use, and how would it be connected - presumably to an analogue input channel / module, though maybe there are digital options, too ... ???
Anyone tried or had a look at this, by any chance ??
