AEC TDW-1C Temperature Control Unit – 9 kW Heater – 2 HP Pump – 460V 3PH

AEC TDW-1C Temperature Control Unit

The AEC (Application Engineering Corp.) TDW-1C is a rugged, industrial-grade water temperature control unit, widely known in the industry as a "Thermolator." This specific model, featuring a 2 HP pump and a 9 kW heater, is engineered to provide the high-volume flow and thermal capacity required for demanding injection molding and extrusion processes.

Built with a focus on durability, the TDW-1C uses a specialized cast-and-flange design that reduces potential leak points by up to 40% compared to standard manifold systems. The microprocessor-based controller offers precise PID tuning, ensuring that your process water remains within ±1°F of the setpoint, which is critical for maintaining part consistency and reducing scrap rates.

Technical Specifications

• Model: TDW-1C
• Serial Number: 86B280 (Manufactured in 1986)
• Heating Capacity: 9 kW
• Pump Motor: 2 HP Centrifugal
• Electrical: 460V / 3-Phase / 60 Hz
• Maximum Temperature: 250°F (121°C)

Key Features

• High-Flow Performance: The 2 HP centrifugal pump delivers the turbulent flow necessary for efficient heat transfer in large or complex molds.
• Serviceable Design: Built with standard industrial electrical components (contactors and relays), making it easier and more cost-effective to maintain than modern units with proprietary electronics.
• Precision PID Control: The microprocessor interface features dual LED displays for simultaneous viewing of Set Point and Process Temperature.
• Proven Reliability: AEC Thermolators are industry legends for their "over-built" construction, with many 1980s-era units like this one still serving as primary production workhorses.
• Shop Mobility: Mounted on high-quality industrial casters, allowing for quick reconfiguration of your production floor.
