Temperature Control Glossary
A
Auto Vent Sequence
| A system that automatically removes air from the loop during startup to improve temperature stability. |
C
Closed Loop Heat Exchanger
| A heat exchanger that keeps process and utility fluids separate, used for additional temperature control. |
D
Differential Pressure Gauge
| A gauge that measures the pressure drop across filters or components to detect clogging. |
H
Heat Transfer Fluid Analysis
Routine testing of heat transfer fluid to monitor degradation and prevent system damage.
I
Incoloy Immersion Heater
| A corrosion-resistant electric heating element designed for long service life in water or oil systems. |
M
Modbus TCP/IP
| An industrial communication protocol supported by advanced TCUs for data sharing and remote monitoring. |
N
Non-Ferrous Construction
| TCU design using non-metallic or stainless materials to resist rust and scale buildup. |
O
Oil TCU
A temperature control unit that uses heat transfer oil, suitable for high-temp processes up to 500°F.
OPC UA / Euromap 82.1
| Communication standards enabling integration of TCUs with modern manufacturing systems. |
P
PID Controller
| A control system using Proportional, Integral, and Derivative algorithms to maintain precise temperature control. |
Positive Displacement Pump
| A type of pump used in TCUs to circulate heat transfer fluid reliably at high pressures and temperatures. |
S
Side Stream Filter Cart
| A mobile filtration unit for oil TCUs that removes contaminants to increase efficiency and reduce wear. |
Side Stream Filtration
An add-on system for oil TCUs that filters out sludge, improving efficiency and extending component life.
