IMPROVED TEMPERATURE CONTROL WITH SMART CONTROLLER

All heating processes benefit from precision temperature control. This is true for both commercial and industrial applications. Due to its sheer volume, however, precision makes its biggest impact in the industrial sector.

There are three main factors that make precision temperature control essential for any industry:

1. Quality

Producing a high-quality product requires the right temperature. Oil and gas production needs accurate temperatures for refining and purifying, such as in oil-water separation. Electric plating baths need the right heat application for metal finishing. Even the dairy industry relies on precision heat for pasteurization.

Wherever you look in heating processes, final product quality has a lot to do with precise heat. Otherwise, products can be improperly/incompletely separated, become damaged or impure, or have insufficient flow rates.

2. Consistency

Just as precision heating influences quality, so does it affect consistency. A precise heater system ensures that products come out the same. Not only of consistent quality but also production time and energy expenditure. Keeping processes predictable prevents unwelcome surprises.

3. Loss Prevention

Where heating is not accurate, the product can be lost or otherwise damaged. For instance, inaccurate temps in freeze protection can lead to product loss and/or damaged equipment. Bitumen tank heaters that aren’t kept up to temperature can see the product harden, making it unusable, or at least not ready for immediate use.

While the heaters themselves are essential to quality, consistency, and loss prevention, improving their precision starts with smarter control panels. Digital control panels have made industrial heating processes more precise, efficient, and profitable.
