Page 6 Portable Hot Oil Temperature Control Units
Chapter 1: General Information
1-1 Introduction
Your portable hot oil temperature control unit circulates thermal transfer-type oil through
your process and to precisely, automatically, and reliably maintain it at a temperature you can
select. The operating range of your temperature control unit is from 100°F to 550°F (38°C to
288°C). The unit is best suited for use with TrueTherm™ Heat Transfer Fluid. A
recommended list of commercially available heat transfer fluids can be obtained through
Customer Service.
Rapid recirculation of the relatively small amount of fluid provides a close and uniform
temperature relationship between the TO PROCESS and FROM PROCESS lines. This
does, of course, depend on the configuration of your process, and any restrictions within the
mold.
This recirculation, combined with the immersion heater and optional cooling capability, gives
fast and accurate response to bring the fluid up to temperature, or to changes in the settings
when needed.
Performance is assured through matching the unique controllers to the high temperature
system. The two systems are fully integrated to achieve accurate control, along with efficient
use of water and electricity.
