The importance of temperature control unit TCU in the pharmaceutical industry

The processes that use temperature control equipment in the pharmaceutical industry include:

1.Low temperature conditions required for biochemical reactions inside the reactor: low-temperature drug synthesis, etc

2.Rapid cooling of raw materials to prevent drug spoilage, low-temperature crystallization and extraction.

Generally speaking, temperature control in pharmaceutical production processes needs to consider the following aspects. Firstly, it is the temperature control of the raw materials. In the pharmaceutical process, the temperature of raw materials often needs to be heated or cooled to meet specific reaction conditions. For example, some reactions require high temperatures, while others require low temperature conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to control the temperature of raw materials according to specific process requirements during the production process. Temperature has a direct impact on the production process of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Excessive or insufficient temperature can lead to a decrease in drug quality and even affect the safety of drugs.

Next is the temperature control of the reactor. The reactor is the core equipment for conducting chemical reactions, and temperature control is crucial for the progress of the reaction. The temperature of the reactor, whether too high or too low, may have adverse effects on the yield, purity, and results of the reaction. To ensure the success of the reaction, it is necessary to control the temperature of the reactor according to specific reaction requirements.

The TCU temperature control unit utilizes existing thermal energy (such as steam, cooling water, etc.) and integrates it into a single fluid system or secondary circuit used to control the temperature of process equipment, relying on the existing infrastructure in the factory area. This completes the process of only one type of heat transfer fluid flowing into the jacket of the reaction vessel (instead of directly introducing steam, cooling water, etc.). Users can obtain a closed and repeatable temperature control over a wide temperature range, achieving temperature control of -120~300 ℃ with a wide temperature range and higher accuracy.

The TCU temperature control unit can achieve unified control of multiple kettles and meet the requirements of nearby layout, with instrument signals controlled by the TCU. The TCU is located near the equipment for easy operation and high adjustment accuracy. The instrument signals in the process unit area are all controlled by TCU, The TCU is located near the equipment. TCU is located in the workshop and can meet the explosion-proof requirements of the workshop.

The TCU temperature control unit has higher precision in controlling the reaction of materials inside the reactor. When stirred evenly, it can reach+1 ℃, which fully meets the special requirements for variety and temperature in the production of multifunctional raw materials. It can completely avoid the waste of cold and hot media and the instability of product quality caused by unstable temperature control.

The TCU temperature control unit can provide a broad and closed temperature control system, which can achieve temperature control of -120~300 ℃, and is completely suitable for the production of multifunctional and multi variety raw materials. And each TCU temperature control unit is an independent individual. Once a fault occurs, it will only have an impact on the corresponding reactor and will not pollute other reactors. It can minimize accident hazards and economic losses.
