Aquatherm RQT Premium Temperature Controller

Product catalog summary
Standard Features
The Aquatherm RQT Premium Temperature Controller is equipped with high-flow pumps designed for rapid cooling in injection mold processes, offering sizes from ¾ HP to 10 HP with silicon carbide pump seals. It features long-life Incoloy sheathed heaters for enhanced performance and corrosion resistance. The leak-proof pump/heater assembly uses heavy-duty cast-iron components with O-ring seals to minimize leaks. High-temperature pump seals with an internal flushing system extend seal life, and high-performance modulating cooling valves ensure consistent mold temperatures.

The controller operates on a 24 VDC control circuit for stable operation, with a tilted front panel for easy monitoring. It supports remote temperature monitoring via 4-20A or 0-10vDC retransmit and includes an intelligent air purge system.

Premium Controller Features
The touch screen control with PLC and HMI displays operational KPIs and alerts users to potential issues. It includes features like Seal-Saver for extending pump seal life, pump running hours display, adjustable deviation alarm time delays, and continuous temperature monitoring. Additional features include an alarm horn with a silence switch, electrical phase error protection, adaptive maximum setpoint, digital process pressure monitoring, and adaptive pressure relief.

The system offers password protection, real-time system statistics, trending data, and supports Modbus TCP/IP & OPC/UA communications. It allows for alternate setpoint swaps, data logging, and recipe storage for specific applications.

Available Options
Options include a rotary non-fused disconnect switch, mold purge, C-UL508A industrial control panel construction, two-zone units, closed circuit with brazed plate heat exchanger, solid state relay heater controls, alarm strobe and relay contact, remote temperature probe, and a nonferrous corrosion resistance package. Additional options are a stacking rack, flow meter, SPI communications, crash cool valve, and remote display panel.

Warranty
The product comes with a 3-year parts and labor warranty, and a lifetime warranty on pump/heater casting and standard pump seal.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various models, including performance per zone, unit FLA, and shipping weight. The standard set point range is 40°F to 250°F.

Dimensions and Pump Curves
Dimensions are provided for units ranging from ¾ HP-3 HP, 0-18 kW, and for 5 HP and larger, 24 kW and higher units. Pump curves are also included.

Aquatherm RQT Premium Temperature Controller-1

Aquatherm RQT Premium Temperature Controller Tilted Front Panel Conveniently angled for optimal viewing, quick and easy monitoring and adjustment of the set point and other control functions. 4-20A or 0-10vDC Process Temperature Retransmit Continuous remote monitoring of process temperature on any device. Intelligent Air Purge with 120°F Air Purge Cancel At start-up, the automatic air purge sequence deactivates when the mold circuit is above 120°F to avoid cooling of the mold during temporary power interruptions. Standard Features High-Flow Pumps Designed to meet the rapid cooling requirements of injection mold cooling, our energy-efficient pumps provide the best flow available in the industry. Sizes from ¾ HP to 10 HP. Silicon carbide pump seals are standard. Long-Life Heaters Incoloy sheathed heater elements for the best combination of performance and longevity with better corrosion resistance than copper or stainless steel heaters. Leak-Proof Pump/Heater Assembly Heavy-duty cast-iron pumps, heater tubes, and mixing tubes with O-ring seals reduce threaded fittings that can cause internal pressure losses and are prone to leaks. Long-Life Pump Seals/Internal Flushing System High-temperature pump seals with an integral flush system and turbulence ribs inside the seal chamber extend seal life and are more energy efficient than external seal flush lines. High-Performance Modulating Cooling Valves Fast-acting modulating valve responds quickly and precisely to any sudden changes in the process and ensure consistent mold temperatures all the time. 24 VDC Control-Circuit Power Dependable and safe control circuit power, isolates the control circuit from static interference for stable and precise operation. Premium Controller Touch Screen Control PLC control with touch screen HMI simultaneously displays two selectable operation KPIs. Easy to use HMI screens provide a visual alert of a potential problem before a fault occurs. If the condition worsens, the alarm sounds and the unit stops to prevent equipment damage. Screens include:                Heater malfunction Supply and return temperature Pump running hours Power brownout Control power on Autostart signal present Pump on Pump overload Heat on Cooling on Low coolant inlet pressure High and low temperature limit warnings High and low temperature alarms Supply and return temperature probe faults
