¿Qué fluido térmico elijo, agua o aceite?

Depende de la temperatura del proceso. El agua llega hasta unos 180 °C en circuito presurizado; el aceite térmico permite alcanzar hasta 300 °C. Por debajo de 90 °C, el agua con depósito abierto es la opción más sencilla.

¿Qué diferencia hay entre refrigeración directa (WDC) e indirecta (WIC)?

En la refrigeración directa el agua de refrigeración entra en el mismo circuito de proceso; en la indirecta un intercambiador separa ambos circuitos, ideal para temperaturas altas o aguas de mala calidad.

¿Qué aporta el control multicircuito y la medición del ΔT?

Medir el caudal y la temperatura de cada circuito de forma independiente permite equilibrar el molde, detectar obstrucciones y mantener una temperatura estable pieza a pieza. El ΔT, la diferencia entre impulsión y retorno, indica la carga térmica real.

¿Qué significa que un equipo está preparado para Industria 4.0?

Que puede intercambiar consignas, estados y alarmas con la máquina y con el sistema de planta. En la SMART Series eso se concreta en las interfaces OPC-UA, Profinet, RS485 y TTY 20 mA, y en el panel TouchScreen TG111, con arranque, paro y supervisión en remoto, recetas por molde, gráficas del proceso e histórico de alarmas. Las consignas y las variables reales (temperatura, caudal, presión, ΔT y nivel) quedan registradas y disponibles para el sistema de planta o el MES, lo que da trazabilidad por lote y permite anticipar el mantenimiento.

Frequently asked questions

Which thermal fluid do I choose, water or oil?

It depends on the temperature of the process. The water reaches up to about 180 °C in a pressurized circuit; thermal oil can reach up to 300 °C. Below 90°C, open tank water is the easiest option.

What is the difference between direct cooling (WDC) and indirect cooling (WIC)?

In direct cooling, the cooling water enters the same process circuit; In the indirect flow, an exchanger separates both circuits, ideal for high temperatures or poor quality water.

What does multi-circuit control and ΔT measurement provide?

Measuring the flow rate and temperature of each circuit independently allows you to balance the mold, detect blockages and maintain a stable temperature piece by piece. The ΔT, the difference between flow and return, indicates the actual thermal load.

What does it mean that a team is ready for Industry 4.0?

That can exchange setpoints, states and alarms with the machine and the plant system. In the SMART Series this is specified in the OPC-UA, Profinet, RS485 and TTY 20 mA interfaces, and in the TG111 TouchScreen panel, with remote start, stop and supervision, recipes per mold, process graphs and alarm history. The setpoints and real variables (temperature, flow, pressure, ΔT and level) are recorded and available to the plant system or the MES, which provides traceability per batch and allows maintenance to be anticipated.
