Temperature control under a pressure blanket

| By Mary Page Bailey and Gerald Ondrey

This company has expanded its product range for demanding temperature-control tasks with two devices: the new, pressure-blanketed Integral P variant (photo); and a new, high-performance device of the T variant. For the P variant, two device types, Integral IN 2050 PW and IN 2560 PW, function according to the pressure-blanketing principle. The devices, which are equipped with a stainless-steel pressure vessel, significantly expand the temperature range of flammable heat carriers. In the pressure-blanketing process, the compressed air supply is used to fill the device with negative pressure, which sucks the temperature control medium into the device with a vacuum of –0.2 bars. Integral P process thermostats can be used within a working temperature range from –40 to 140°C, with a cooling capacity of 20 kW and 25 kW, respectively. — Lauda Dr. R. Wobser GmbH & Co.
