autotherm Temperature control unit AW: For highly precise temperature control of water
Working principle
autotherm temperature control units supply closed, semi-open, and open consumer systems with water at the specified temperature using high-performance pumps.
Heating is primarily carried out electrically, but can also be achieved using hot water or steam. Cooling is provided by cooling water, which extracts energy as needed through heat exchangers.
All system components required for operation are integrated into a single assembly and coordinated with each other to achieve the highest standards of control accuracy and dynamic performance.
