These data were collected with the convection fan off, and the thermocouple near the front of the oven.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inkofpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/thrmstr_plot_annotated.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image:none;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;padding-top:0;margin:5px;border:0;\" title=\"thrmstr_plot_annotated\" alt=\"thrmstr_plot_annotated\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inkofpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/thrmstr_plot_annotated_thumb.png\" width=\"644\" height=\"387\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second plot of interest is the refrigerator data, taken with the thermistor located about halfway back, one quarter of the way from the right edge, resting just above the top shelf.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.inkofpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/thrmstr_plot-annotated.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image:none;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;padding-top:0;margin:5px;border:0;\" title=\"thrmstr_plot-annotated\" alt=\"thrmstr_plot-annotated\" src=\"http:\/\/www.inkofpark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/thrmstr_plot-annotated_thumb.png\" width=\"644\" height=\"399\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The temperature oscillates locally, after about half an hour of quite the motor runs for about half an hour, creating a three degree local temperature swing.
