Monofluid thermoregulation<\/a><\/strong> is a solution that offers important benefits, especially in application within pharma and chemical industry<\/strong><\/a>. These industries need to control temperatures in a bunch of production equipments, such as reactors<\/strong>, pressure filters<\/strong>, blenders<\/strong> and mixers<\/strong>. All of these machines require to maintain some rising or descending temperature ramps, involving a thermal range for the processed products that vary from low to high temperatures and viceversa.<\/p>\n

An example is a reactor employed for the production of an active pharmaceutical ingredient<\/a>. Starting from ambient temperature, the product has to be heated, and then maintained at a certain temperature. Then it has to be cooled, and then maybe again heated and so on.<\/p>\n

Usually jacketed reactors<\/strong> are employed, with half-pipe coil or with thermal transfer jackets. Based on the temperature level required for the product inside the reactor, a hot or cold fluid is inserted within the jacket.<\/p>\n

In the past, but still employed very much today, to achieve heating a hot fluid was inserted inside the jacket<\/strong>, vapor of diathermic oil<\/strong> for example. When the process needed a cooling phase, then vapor and condensate got completely discharged, and the jacket was then loaded with refrigerated water or glycol water<\/strong>. The ensemble of these discharging and loading operations<\/strong> clearly take some time, and thus can slow down the productivity. In addition, this kind of solution only offers a relatively precise control of temperature levels.<\/p>\n
