Abstract textAn injection assembly includes a dispensing chamber housing, a temperature control device, a thermal sensor, a switch, and a controller. The dispensing chamber housing has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface partially defines a dispensing chamber for receiving a quantity of a substance. The temperature control device at least partially surrounds the dispensing chamber housing and alters a temperature of a substance in the dispensing chamber. The thermal sensor is located near the temperature control device and reads a temperature near the temperature control device. The switch is coupled to the temperature control device. The controller controls the temperature control device and the switch such that a first voltage is applied to the temperature control device until the temperature control device reaches a desired temperature, and a second voltage is applied to the temperature control device thereafter to maintain the temperature control device at the desired temperature. |
