DESCRIPTION

Page 10: Thermolator TW-1 and TW-2 - Conair...Both the TW-1 and TW-2 models are available in single or dual-zone configurations, using resistance heating and direct injection or closed circuit

The Thermolator TW models circulate water at a temperaturehigher than the available water supply, to add or remove heatas needed to maintain a uniform temperature setpoint in theprocess. The TW-2 offers an enhanced TW-2 control, withadditional diagnostic features and autostart capabilities.

Both the TW-1 and TW-2 models are available in single ordual-zone configurations, using resistance heating and directinjection or closed circuit cooling. Dual-zone models can con-trol at two different temperatures at different locations in theprocess. Two-zone models have common cooling water mani-folds and electrical connections.

The best model for your application depends on the processtemperature you need to maintain and the quality of the cool-ing water supply.

Direct injection (DI) models control the temperature bydischarging heated process water and adding cooling waterdirectly from the water supply. DI models are designed for:● Process temperatures up to 250°F (121°C).● Use with chiller water or properly treated and filtered tower

or city water.

Closed circuit (CC) models add cooling water to the processloop only during the initial filling or when make-up water isneeded. CC models are recommended for: ● Process temperatures up to 250°F (121°C).● Use with contaminated cooling water.

Isolated circuit (IC) models separate the cooling water fromthe process fluid, which is held in a reservoir. IC models arerecommended for:● Process temperatures up to 180°F (82°C).● Use with contaminated cooling water.● When process and cooling fluids are different.

TYPICALAPPLICATIONS

IMPORTANT: Do not usedeionized water or glycolmixtures containing additivesin a Thermolator. Softenedwater or glycol mixtures withadditives, such as automo-tive fluids, can damage theThermolator. Glycol/waterprocess loop mixtures shoulduse industrial-grade ethyleneglycol only.

Page 11: Thermolator TW-1 and TW-2 - Conair...Both the TW-1 and TW-2 models are available in single or dual-zone configurations, using resistance heating and direct injection or closed circuit

Direct injection models maintain the process temperatureby electrically heating and injecting cool water supplied tothe Thermolator by a chiller, tower or other water source.

The Thermolator is easy to install, if you plan the location andprepare the area properly.

Position the Thermolator as close to the process machine as possible.

Make sure the installation area provides:❒❒ A three-phase power source supplying the correctcurrent for your Thermolator model. Check the serial tagon the side of the electrical enclosure for the requiredvoltage, phase, frequency, full load amps, disconnect fusesize and minimum wire connection size. Field wiringshould be completed by qualified personnel to the plannedlocation for the Thermolator. All electrical wiring shouldcomply with your region’s electrical codes.❒❒ A clean, well-ventilated environment. The room temperature should not exceed 120° F (48° C)with 95% non-condensing humidity and should not fallbelow 32° F (0° C).❒❒ Minimum clearance for safe operation andmaintenance. The diagram at right shows mini-mum clearance for operation. You also needenough clearance in the rear for water hookups.For maintenance, you should move theThermolator toprovide at least 36 inches on any side ofthe Thermolator. ❒❒ A source of water for cooling. City, tower or chiller water may be used,as long as the supply pressure is at least 25 psi and notmore than 85 psi.

Install plumbing for process and cooling lines.You will need two 11/4-inch NPT male fittings for theprocess inlet and outlet and two 3/4-inch NPT male fit-tings for the cooling inlet and outlet. Larger line sizes areacceptable as long as they are reduced at the Thermolatorconnections. Smaller line sizes are not recommended.

You can establish a normal operating range around the processtemperature setpoint using the high and low deviation parame-ters. If the process temperature exceeds the high deviationlimit, or falls below the low deviation limit for longer than theset delay time, the Thermolator alerts you to the unacceptabletemperature variation with an alarm light, and optional audibleor strobe.

These temperature deviation limits will adjust automaticallyrelative to the process temperature setpoint.

The factory default setting for both the high and low deviationparameters is 25°F. These parameters are adjustable to estab-lish a narrower or wider acceptable temperature band for nor-mal operation.

To change the temperature deviation settings:

Press the Setpoint Selectbutton to select the deviation para-meter you want to change.

Use the ▲ and ▼ setpoint buttons to enter the deviation tem-perature. The setting is stored inmemory even when the power isturned off. The recommended set-ting is ± 2-10°F.

You should perform an Auto Tune after the first two hours ofoperation and whenever process variables change (changes incooling water pressure, piping or molds; large ambientswings; new setpoint temperature) to ensure that the controlcontinues to obtain good approximations of the PID constantsused to compensate for the thermal lag of the system.

To ensure a successful Auto Tune, verify that:❒ The Auto Tune feature has been enabled. Auto Tune is

enabled or disabled via dip switch 2 on the motherboard.❒ The process value is stable. A fluctuating process value

will fool the software into making inaccurate tuning deci-sions. The software waits 5 minutes for the process value tostabilize before it starts the Auto Tune process. If theprocess value still fluctuates after 5 minutes, the Auto Tuneterminates and the control displays the “At ti” error.

❒ The control is in STOP mode and the process value is inambient temperature. This allows the software to obtaingood approximations of process parameters, which are crit-ical for performing an accurate tune. If this requirement isnot met, then a good tune cannot be guaranteed.

❒ The setpoint/process deviation is at least 25° F. If theabsolute value of setpoint - process temperature is notgreater than or equal to 25° F, the Auto Tune will terminate.The control will display an “At dEV” error.

Press to shut down the Thermolator.

Thermolator TW-1 and TW-2 UGH015/09025-2 MAINTENANCE

PREVENTATIVEMAINTENANCESCHEDULE

Thermolator TW-1 and TW-2 water temperature controllersare essentially maintenance-free. However, to maintain thebest performance, we recommend the following maintenanceschedule.

●● Whenever process variables change❒❒ Perform an Auto Tune.

The Auto Tune ensures that the control continues toobtain good approximations of the PID constants usedto compensate for the thermal lag of the system. Youshould perform an Auto Tune after the first two hours ofoperation and whenever the process changes, such asafter a mold change; installation of different pipe sizes;or change in process setpoint. See the PERFORMING ANAUTO TUNE in the OPERATION section.

●● Daily❒❒ Check for leaks in cooling and process lines.

Before and during operation, you should inspect theunit and all plumbing lines for leaks. If a leak develops,stop the Thermolator and repair it.

❒❒ Keep the unit and the area around it clean.Check for and remove lint, dust or other obstructions onthe unit, especially around air intake areas. Keep thefloor around the unit dry.

❒❒ Check the process fluid level (IC models). Isolated circuit models have an internal reservoir thatcontains the process fluid. Check the level indicator onthe back of the unit to make sure the reservoir containsan adequate amount of process fluid. Refill as needed.

●● Monthly, or as often as needed.❒❒ Inspect the fluid reservoir (IC models only).

Check the level switches in the process fluid reservoir for debris or deposits that could interfere with proper operation. Flush and clean the reservoir, if necessary.

●● Quarterly (every 3 months)❒❒ Inspect power cords, wires and electrical

connections. Check for loose or frayed wires, burned contacts, andsigns of overheated wires. Check exterior power cordsto the main power source and from the electrical box tothe pump and heating elements. Check the ground wireand thermocouple connections. Replace any wire thatappears damaged or has worn or cracked insulation.

To replace a failed seal, you must disassemble the pump.Remove the impeller retaining assembly. Insert ascrewdriver in one of the impeller waterway passages tohold the impeller steady while removing the retainer.

Remove the impeller being careful not to loseany parts. If the impeller is difficult to remove, you mayneed to use a bearing puller.

Remove the seal, adapter, shaft and flinger.

Clean the gasket and flange faces, seal seat cavity, shaft sleeve and motor shaft. Replace the shaftsleeve if it is damaged or worn.

Replace the flinger. Lubricate the seal seat cavity of the adapter and theflinger with soapy water solution before pressing theflinger squarely into the cavity. Do not chip or scratch thelapped seat face.

Remount the adapter to the motor.Make sure the motor shaft does not dislocate or chip theseat of the seal.

Replace the remaining seal components. Apply a soapy water solution to the motor shaft and therubber bellows of the rotating seal. Slide the rotatingmember of the seal over the shaft sleeve. Replace the sealspring and seal retainer, making sure the rotating seal facestays in the holding collar during installation. Do not chipor scratch the lapped seat faces.

Place the key in the key seat and slide the impeller on the shaft. Replace the impeller retaining nut.Remove any burrs caused by the screwdriver on theimpeller.
