The UPTCD with one controllable heater and one electric fan (heater + fan).

The UPTCD has two controllable heaters and two temperature sensors, one sensor for each heater (heater + heater).
The Universitas Pertamina Temperature Control Device (UPTCD) is a take-home lab device that allows students to do independent hands-on learning in control systems, dynamics, optimization methods, thermodynamics, and many other subjects. It is very simple in its design. The development goal is to create a device that is low-cost yet sufficiently powerful for control implementation. Thus, we select thermal process since thermal process is typically slow.
