Using Microprocessors to Save Energy

Abstract

As the cost of fuel rises, so the need to economise on its use becomes more important. In industry, fuel is used not only to drive machinery but also for heating industrial premises (and sometimes for cooling, for example in cold stores and in hot climates). Considerable saving of fuel used for heating, or for cooling, can be achieved by means of new technological innovations, in particular the use of microprocessors to control temperatures as well as the flow of hot water or cold or hot air.
