Abstract

A liquid temperature control apparatus controllably heats a liquid from a temperature before a control to a desired reference temperature by varying the magnitude and/or application time period of a power for energizing a heater on the basis of a difference between a voltage corresponding to the actual temperature before a control and a reference voltage corresponding to the reference temperature. The parameter on which the magnitude and/or application time period of the heater power is to be based may be the sum of a first voltage differential between a voltage corresponding to the actual temperature before a control and the reference voltage and a second voltage differential between a voltage corresponding to an actual temperature after the start of a control and the reference voltage.
