HEAT AND COOL FROM A SINGLE UNIT WITH PFAUDLER’S TCU
Three Closed -Loop Thermal Control Units (TCUs) from Pfaudler are successfully controlling AE 2500 Reactors (glass-lined and hastelloy) in a hazardous area (ATEX EEx IIB T3) for a leading manufacturer of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients in Sweden.
Complete with expansion tanks and control systems, the flexibility of Pfaudler’s modular-design TCU allows combinations of the primary heating and cooling services to be controlled by a single unit, utilising steam for heating and Glycol for cooling.
This single-fluid system, suitable for the heating and cooling of all types of jacketed vessels; from glass-lined and alloy reactors to filter driers, evaporators and condenser loops, benefits from smooth, continuous temperature control, with no gaps, because there are no fluid changeovers.
With no thermal shock to vessels and no interruption to processes, Pfaudler’s TCU (Direct Injection (DI), and Heating / Cooling (HC) virtually eliminates off-batches because it removes hot-spots, resulting in enhanced quality and an enhanced product yield. Because the yield is maximised without adding excess reactants, there are considerable savings to be made on expensive raw materials.
