Let’s go on with a series of videos dedicated to thermoregulation units and temperature control. Another interesting application of thermoregulating units is referred to carbon fiber production processes, or anyway carbon fiber structures.
Maybe not everyone knows it, but when a carbon fiber structure is realized it has to be ‘cooked’ inside special industrial ovens, and even if the ‘cooked’ term is not technically appropriated, this is in fact the proper function of this part of the production process. Once the carbon fiber part is molded, the chassis, a part of the car body, any kind of component made with carbon fiber is inserted in an oven in order to stabilize the resin and the structure and position of the carbon fibers, aimed at achieving the strength and the resistance levels required by the project.
These structures are then ‘cooked’ inside special dedicated ovens, that are able to reach high temperatures required to stabilize the resins. All of these ovens require some cooling systems, or anyway thermoregulating solutions. Yes, indeed, because in addition to cooling, also a thermoregulation function is required to allow the resin to reach its final stability.
Thermoregulating units are therefore employed to maintain the right process temperatures in these ovens. Furthermore, they are also required to ensure the proper final cooling: once the cooking process of the carbon fiber components inside the oven is completed, everything has to be properly cooled to return to normal ambient temperatures. Finally, there are even some processes where these units have an emergency function, and so these are aimed at cooling the oven in case there is a reaction that causes a temperature rise up, exceeding safety levels.
