Abstract
A temperature control device and a temperature control method for use in measuring thermal properties of materials at high and low temperatures are disclosed herein. The temperature control device is configured for controlling a temperature of a test volume inside a test cell and is capable of providing both extremely high and low test volume temperatures over a wide temperature range. The temperature of the test volume is controlled using opposing heating and cooling by controlling a supply of thermal energy to the test cell from a heating subsystem while simultaneously removing thermal energy from the test cell using a cooling subsystem.
