waterintelligentpressurized water

Overview
The MATIC Water 160 24 B temperature control unit is designed for operation with pressurised water and provides simple operation, continuous intelligent monitoring with troubleshooting, and predictive, model-based control throughout the temperature regulation process.

Functions

• IRIS control system with touchscreen and integrated web server
• Pt100 temperature sensors in feed and return lines
• Heater control by solid-state relays
• Variable-speed pump with automatic eco-mode
• Display of system pressure and flow
• Automatic water filling
• Mould drainage with compressed air
• Automatic air venting
• Leakstopper device — operation in pressure and vacuum mode

Construction method

• Proven pump with mechanical seal or magnetic coupling
• Two cooling systems available: indirect and direct
• Limescale-free heat exchanger
• Fully immersed heating elements in 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 the variable frequency drive
• Configurable safeguard limits with corresponding reactions
• Configurable audible alarm

Controller - IRIS Control System
The integrated IRIS control system offers intuitive operation and modern communication interfaces. Relevant operating data (temperatures, pressures, flow rates, operating states, status messages, chart data and trends) are available on the device. IRIS continuously provides information, reporting and optimisation of the temperature control unit. Operation is possible via the on-site touchscreen or remotely via the integrated web server using a smartphone, tablet or PC. Connections are available via LAN cable or the integrated WLAN adapter. Model-based algorithms continuously capture and compare data with expected behaviour to achieve optimal regulation of temperature and flow and reliable process monitoring.
