Chiller with automatic probe detection and filtered temperature display

摘要

In a chiller (10), an apparatus and method for automatically identifying a temperature probe (14) for use in a chilling operation is provided in order to reduce user error. In the place of manual selection by a user, automatic selection of the appropriate temperature probe (14) is accomplished by comparing the temperature of the given temperature probe to a threshold temperature. An additional apparatus and method for filtering a displayed compartment temperature is provided to reduce user confusion. The responsiveness of the displayed temperature to temperature changes in the compartment (12) is reduced when the compartment door (13) is opened.
