A curve that does not fall immediately after closure does not by itself prove insufficient plates; starting conditions matter.
Read the pattern first
Container, product, plate and sensor respond differently. Do not interpret the opening curve without context.
Investigation step
For the same load, record container, product and plate starts; compare cooling onset and transition to a stable region.
Event record
- Container start
- Product start
- Cooling onset
- Sensor location
If delay tracks container start, review preparation; if it persists, assess plate layout, load path and sensor point together.
