Understanding the thermal loop


Heat treatment processes are a crucial component of many manufacturing processes, but precise control of temperature requires more than just heating control. This is where the thermal loop comes into play. Thermal loop solutions have become increasingly popular for achieving improved temperature control and consistent outcomes, but what exactly does the thermal loop mean? In this article, Andy Selvy, chief system designer at industrial technology company Watlow, offers his insight.


A thermal loop is a system designed to precisely  gas. It comprises a closed loop system with vital components, such as an electrical power supply, power controller, heating element, temperature sensor and process controller. The electrical power supply furnishes the necessary energy for heating, while the power controller modulates the power output to the heating element. Subsequently, the heating element raises the material’s temperature,


and the temperature sensor gauges the temperature. Ultimately, the process   In some cases, a single component can play multiple roles.

Altogether, these parts create a system known as a thermal loop that can maintain process temperatures automatically through time.
