Since whales are mammals, they control their temperature the same way humans, and all other mammals do. We are considered "warm" blooded animals, meaning the body controls it's own temperature. Whales use an insulating layer of fat under their skin, known as blubber, whereas humans usually only have a thin layer of skin. This layer helps maintain the heat that the body is producing. There is an area in the brain, known as the hypothalamus, that is in control of body temperature. The brain will try to maintain an even temperature no matter what the outside temperature is.

What is a temperature control?

a temperature control system relies upon a controller, which accepts a temperature sensor such as a thermocouple or RTD as input. It compares the actual temperature to the desired control temperature, or setpoint, and provides an output to a control element. The controller is one part of the entire control system. these are found in the interior climate control system, and in engine cooling system.
