Thermal Control Units (TCU)
Pfaudler-Balfour, the leading manufacturer of glassed steel Reactor Systems, has developed a range of innovative, advanced, single fluid systems for Reactor heating and cooling with design temperatures ranging from -100 °C to 350 °C.
Pfaudler-Balfour's flexibility allows primary services to be combined together in one unit. The advantages are many, particularly in reactor operations:
- Smooth, continuous temperature control, with no gaps because there are no fluid changeovers
- No thermal shock to vessels
- No interruption of process
- No hot spots, resulting in higher product yields and quality
- Off-batches are minimised, if not eliminated
- Savings on expensive raw materials can be made because the yield is maximised without adding excess reactants
- Suitable for the very cold operating temperatures required by today's new chemical formulas and reactions
- Accurate temperature control to +/- 1 °C without risk to your reactor
- Repeatability and accurate recordable measurement for meeting FDA requirements
- Programmable heating and cooling ramps for accurate unsupervised operations
- Systems suitable for operation in hazardous atmospheres and environments
The image bellow is a guide to the standard units developed by Pfaudler-Balfour, where;
- DI refers to a Direct Injection TCU
- HC refers to a Closed Loop TCU
