> Sun 13 Sep 08:06 > > Baking reached 93 C yesterday afternoon at 16:18 and paused as a result of a percieved temperature gradient in > the octagon. > See attached. > > Left system overnight to check whether octagon gradient was going to equilibrate via convection. > No changes this morning. > Thermocouple 1-8 labeled "Octagon (side)" likely is not in thermal contact with the octagon. > It appears to have a temperature lower than room temperature. Possibly sits outside the tent? Gradient will not > decrease with time. > > Temporarily overrode automatic mode, set temperature to 100 C, restarted automatic mode. Will keep monitoring. > > > Sun 13 Sep 10:00 > > Vessel reached 100 C, no gradients. All OK, except octagon gradient (ignoring). > Manually increased temperature to 110 C. Restored automatic mode. > > Sun 13 Sep 12:00 > > Baking stopped automatically at 10:30 due to CJC temperature (aka room temperature 2) in TC-08 Picolog 2 > exceeding 40 C. > Max operating temperature of picolog TC08 is 50 C, and accuracy is lost above 30 C. > https://www.picotech.com/data-logger/tc-08/usb-tc-08-specifications > > Stopped baking. Removed thermocouple 1-8 "Octagon (side)" from Octagon gradient calculation and recompiled. > Restarted manually at T = 80 C > > Please move picolog away from the tent tomorrow, and we can then increase temperature. Tent does not need to be > opened. > > Sun 13 Sep 19:00 > Vessel temperature at 80 C stable. > Other temperatures stable. > Leaving at 80 C overnight.
