Putting the final touches on RUTUs refrigerator and freezer. I want to use digital thermostats but the Carel units are $150 each.
In my overflowing junk box I have a pair of 12VDC CN132 Omron process controllers with type T thermocouples. These things are a lot smarter than a plain old thermostat but I wonder if they would work? What worries me is that as the box gets close to the target temperature the PID logic might start trying to turn the compressors on and off as if they were heating elements.
