Abstract

A temperature regulation device includes a temperature regulator. The temperature regulator includes a current adjusting circuit, a refrigerator, and a transmission component. A temperature of the refrigerator is varied due to the adjustable current, and, via the transmission component, to thereby test the temperature-sensing integrity of an object such as a temperature sensor.
