Patent number: 7692121Abstract: A temperature control and method of operating the temperature control, for an inductively heated heating element. The heating element is heated by an inductor to which electrical power is supplied via a control circuit, which can also be a control circuit for an induction hob or oven. The temperature control is activated at a first point in time subject to at least one electrical value of the control circuit, which depends on the temperature of the heating element. A reference value is determined at the first point in time and a comparison value and a deviation value from the reference value is determined at least one later point in time. Depending upon the deviation value, the inductor is supplied with power so that the heating element is adjusted to a substantially constant value corresponding to the reference value.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2003Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete GmbHInventors: José Miguel Burdio Pinilla, Ignacio Esteras Duce, Jose Ramon Garcia Jiménez, Pablo Jesus Hernandez Blasco, Sergio Llorente Gil, Fernando Monterde Aznar
