I wanted to close our video series dedicated to Tempco thermoregulating units<\/strong><\/a> with a new one dedicated to the safety systems on thermoregulation units<\/strong>. Thermoregulation units are a sort of boilers equipped with electric heating and a cooling section<\/strong>. These are in fact a quite simple kind of machines. They have very few components, heating electrical resistors, a circulation pump for water and typically a heat exchanger<\/strong><\/a> for the cooling task.<\/p>\n

These components are very simple, and so are these units overall, and they are intended for a quite simple task as well, the regulation of a certain temperature and the task to maintain it. BUT, these units must have absolute safety systems<\/strong>. That’s because these machines, employing electrical resistors, whether they are working with oil, water or pressurized water, these machines involve some risks, due to the fact that if the electrical heating resistors remain turned on, without a proper water circulation, the temperature rises up to very high levels<\/strong>. And thus the pressure rises up as well, in case of pressurized water units, and the temperature inflammability point rises, in case of units working with oil. Therefore, all of these units are equipped with hardware safety devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It means that for sure on heating resistors we install safety thermostats<\/strong>, mechanical safety thermostats or thermal fuses that must be replaced after their intervention. And these safety devices are aimed at cutting off the functioning of the unit<\/strong>, they turn it off, by switching off the heating resistors and the circulating pump as well.<\/p>\n

In case of lack of water, there are pressure switches<\/strong>, or flow meters or level switches that can block the unit, by switching off the resistors and the pump by signaling their intervention with an alarm.This is all aimed at avoiding problems. It is therefore very important that all of these safety devices are on and properly functioning<\/strong> and are not tampered with or bypassed. Because otherwise they can represent a potential source of risk.<\/p>\n
