The Temperature Training System is a two loop system, using water as the process
fluid which allows the study of the principles of process control using primary and
secondary circuit temperatures as the process variables to be controlled.
A Forced Air Cooler 38-610 is also available. It accelerates the process dynamics
using a constant input temperature, allowing a high temperature differential to
be monitored for longer periods.
