System forMust Temperature Control During Wine Fermentation

The Athena AcuTrol
™ Temperature Control System isspecially designed and engineered to provide precise, automatic control of must temperature during the wine fermentation process. Far more accurate than a manually monitored temperature sensor placed at the bottom of the stainless steel fermentation vat, the system utilizes a stainless steel sheathed probe containing a 100 ohm platinum RTD sensor to monitor and control the temperature of the wine fermentation process. In operation, the stainless steel probe containing the sensor is placed into the must at the exact must/liquid point where fermentation occurs. Based upon the ideal fermentation set point, the controller continually monitors the temperature of the must and signals a variable opening solenoid valve to allow more or less cooling water or brine solution to flow into the jacket to maintain the ideal fermentation set point temperature.

Temperature Control System

The Athena AcuTrol is available as a complete systemconsisting of a 10.6�W x 7.1�H x 6.7�D compact housing containing an on/off power switch and controller, applicable connectors and probe mounted RTD sensor. Individual system components and multiple controller configurations are also available to suit specific application needs.
