Fluid Temperature Control and Measurement

Fluid temperature control

Fluid temperature control is a highly effective process that ensures an unprecedented level of accuracy (within 1°C), bringing new levels of predictability to temperature control (even at -120°C or -184°F).

Fluid temperature control is crucial in today’s advanced hydronic heating systems, not only to increase overall system efficiencies, but also to increase the overall comfort level within a system. Fixed water temperature control is still applicable in process applications, however for fluid temperature control provided to a heating terminal unit, it should be a thing of the past.

Fluid temperature control in heating or cooling circuits using oil or water is an established method used in machines, systems and vehicles. Optimal temperature control is indispensable when keeping your production running smoothly or using your vehicles.

Controlling process temperatures

Many industrial processes require a precisely controlled temperature to ensure quality. Various thermal transfer media are used to cool and heat, including water, air, oil or mixtures of these substances. Process temperatures can be controlled reliably on the basis of the flow values and with the aid of an intelligent solution.

Although highly desirable, it is often difficult to control the temperature in a process because its measurement must be within a specified range of accuracy and have a specified degree of speed of response, sensitivity, and dependability. Additionally, temperature measurements must also be representative of true operating conditions in order to achieve successful automated control. The instrument selected, installation design, and location of the measuring points determine these specifications.
