How does a temperature control unit work?
A TCU works by using an electric heater, either immersion or continuous, to heat the fluid in the system, then circulating it from the TCU to the machine tools and vice-versa. The fluid used may be water, pressurised water or oil, depending on the temperature range.
What is a thermostatic temperature control?
Thermostatic temperature control systems consist of a thermostat plus some sort of heater and/or cooler. The thermostat is a thermally actuated switch that changes between the “on” and “off” state at a specific temperature, usually adjustable.
What is the difference between thermostat and temperature controller?
A thermostat is an example of a “bang-bang controller” as the heating or cooling equipment output is not proportional to the difference between actual temperature and the temperature setpoint. Instead, the heating or cooling equipment runs at full capacity until the set temperature is reached, then shuts off.
How do Thermolators work?
Thermolators® or temperature control units are used to preheat and keep the molds at a temperature set point by circulating coolant (water or oil) through the molds. Our temperature control equipment is designed and tested for use in most industrial environments to control process temperatures from 20°F up to 650°F.
Which sensor is used in temperature control system?
The temperature sensors are typically thermistors, RTDs, or linear devices such as the LM335 or AD590. With these types of sensors, stabilities of 0.01°C to 0.001°C are commonly achievable. Less precise sensors – thermocouples – can also be used for stabilities of about 1°C.
