Expert insight on
TCU & Cooling
systems

Yes, customisation is one of Boe-Therm’s core strengths. We design and manufacture TCUs tailored to your exact process requirements – from specific temperature ranges and heating capacities to custom frame dimensions, control interfaces (PLC integration, Profinet, Modbus), and special materials for demanding environments. All units are engineered and built at our factory in Assens, Denmark, giving us full control over quality and lead times.

Standard Boe-Therm TCU models are typically available within 2–4 weeks from order confirmation. Custom-configured units with specific heating capacities, pump options, or cooling configurations generally ship within 4–6 weeks. For urgent requirements, we offer expedited production. Contact our sales team to discuss your timeline and we will find the best solution for your project.

TCUs are used across a wide range of industries including injection moulding (mould temperature control), die casting (die temperature regulation), food and beverage production (process heating and cooling), chemical processing (reactor temperature control), pharmaceutical manufacturing, rubber and plastics production, and composites manufacturing. Any industrial process requiring precise, repeatable temperature control between 10°C and 350°C can benefit from a TCU.

Water-based TCUs operate from ambient to 160°C and offer superior heat transfer efficiency, faster response times, and lower energy costs. Oil-based TCUs reach temperatures from 150°C to 350°C and are essential for high-temperature processes like die casting, extrusion, and certain chemical applications. Water TCUs are the right choice for approximately 80% of industrial applications. Our engineering team can help you determine which medium suits your specific process requirements.

Optimize energy consumption by: 1) Using variable speed drives on pumps, 2) Installing efficient heat exchangers, 3) Implementing precise temperature control with accurate sensors, 4) Regular cleaning and maintenance, 5) Insulating piping. This can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%.

Yes, Boe-Therm TCUs are compatible with water, thermal oil, glycol mixtures, and specialty fluids. The choice of heat transfer fluid depends on the temperature range and process requirements. We help you select the optimal solution for your application.

TCU sizing depends on heat load, temperature range, and fluid volume in the system. As a rule of thumb, calculate 1 kW cooling capacity per 100 kg of fluid. Contact our experts for precise calculations based on your specific requirements.

Routine maintenance should be performed every 3 months with filter checks, fluid level inspections, and temperature sensor verification. Annual service includes calibration, heat exchanger cleaning, and pump inspection. Critical components are inspected every 6 months.

Energy-efficient cooling systems significantly reduce operational costs - typically 20-40% lower energy consumption. They also have longer lifespans, require less maintenance, and contribute to your company's sustainability goals by reducing CO2 emissions.

A TCU (Temperature Control Unit) is a precision temperature control system that regulates temperature in industrial processes by circulating heat transfer fluid through closed loops. The TCU can both heat and cool depending on process requirements, ensuring stable temperature control within ±1°C.
