Temperature control unit with touchscreen MATIC Water 160 12 B

pressurized waterintelligentprogrammable

Overview
The powerful MATIC Water 160 12 B temperature control unit is designed for operation with pressurised water and offers simple operation, continuous intelligent monitoring with fault diagnosis, and predictive adaptive control throughout the temperature regulation process.

Functions

• IRIS control system with touchscreen
• Pt100 temperature sensors in feed and return lines
• Heater control via solid-state relays (SSR)
• Variable-speed pump with automatic eco mode
• System pressure and flow display
• Automatic water filling
• Mould drainage with compressed air
• Automatic air venting
• Leakstopper device – operation in pressure and vacuum mode

Construction

• Proven pump with mechanical seal or magnetic coupling
• Two cooling systems: indirect and direct cooling
• Limescale-free heat exchanger
• Fully immersed heating elements made of corrosion-resistant high-temperature nickel alloy (Incoloy 800)
• Maintenance-free flow meter
• Fixed stainless steel pipework

Safety devices

• Redundant mechanical temperature limiter
• Pump motor monitored by variable frequency drive
• Configurable safeguard limits with corresponding actions
• Configurable audible alarm

Controller / IRIS Control System
The IRIS control system provides an intelligent touchscreen-based interface for process temperature control. All relevant operating data (temperatures, pressures, flow rates, operating states, status messages, chart data and trends) are available locally. IRIS continuously supplies information, reporting and optimisation of the temperature control unit. Local operation is via touchscreen; remote access is available via the integrated web server using LAN or the integrated WLAN adapter. Model-based algorithms continuously adapt to available data to optimise temperature and flow regulation and ensure reliable process monitoring.
