An industrial temperature controller is a device that regulates the temperature in various applications. It works by measuring the temperature and comparing it to the desired temperature, and it determines what the difference is. This type of controller ensures safe, effective operation and prevents damage to any parts. Some devices can fail if the heat levels are too high and it seeks to prevent that.
Types of Temperature Controllers
There are different types of temperature controllers that are used to regulate temperature in applications. On-off controllers are carried out by an on/off or full output. When the process value reaches the set value, the output control is turned off. When it falls below the set value, it is turned on.
This type is commonly used in a heating system for a house or building. Proportional control responds proportionally to the difference between the desired process variable and the current value. PIC control is an industrial temperature controller and it controls pressure, flow, temperature, and speed. A control loop feedback device governs all process variables with this controller.
Applications
There are different applications for an industrial temperature controller. They can manage temperatures during heat treating and other oven based operations. They are also integrated into boilers, furnaces, heat exchangers, and kilns. They also regulate temperature levels in heat-based packaging equipment, including glue application sealing, and more.
In addition, they are used to produce plastics, such as extrusion systems and molding. They are used in healthcare for lab and test equipment to make sure that they are at the right temperatures.
