Page 6 2016-C Series Hot Oil Portable Temperature Control Units
1 General Information
1-1 Introduction
Your STERLING 2016-C Series 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 400°F (38°C to 205°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 STERLING 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 STERLING
controllers to the STERLING high temperature system. The two
systems are fully integrated to achieve accurate control, along with
efficient use of water and electricity.
