    摘要: A controller for a painting assembly is provided. The controller includes at least one processor to set a threshold temperature to heat components of the painting assembly. The threshold temperature is set based on a carbon footprint in the painting assembly. The processor controls a first heater to generate the heat for a first duration for the components of the painting assembly. The first duration is determined based on the set threshold temperature. The processor compares a temperature of the components of the painting assembly with the set threshold temperature to determine a state of heat of the components of the painting assembly. The processor further controls a second heater to generate the heat for a second duration for the components of the painting assembly. The second duration is determined based on the comparison.

    摘要: An energy meter apparatus includes a sensing unit including a first temperature sensor configured to measure temperature of the fluid at a first boundary of the system and a processing-reporting unit comprising a second temperature sensor configured to measure temperature of the fluid at a second boundary of the system. One or both of a flow sensor and a pressure sensor is included in one of the sensing unit and the processing-reporting unit, and the pressure sensor is included in one of the sensing units and the processing-reporting unit. The processing-reporting unit is configured to establish and maintain a first wireless communication channel for communication with the sensing unit. The sensing unit is configured to report sensor measurements to the processing-reporting unit via the wireless communication channel.
