Sterling 6017 series installation manual Introduction, Necessary Documents

1 General Information

1-1 Introduction

Your Sterling/Sterlco 6017 Series hot oil temperature control unit circulates thermal transfer-type oil through your process and to precisely, automatically, and reliably maintain it at a temperature you can select. The operating range of your temperature control unit is from 100°F to 550°F (38°C to 288°C). The unit is best suited for use with SterlTherm™ Heat Transfer Fluid. A recommended list of commercially available heat transfer fluids can be obtained through Sterling Customer Service.

Rapid recirculation of the fluid provides a close and uniform temperature relationship between the TO PROCESS and FROM PROCESS lines. This does, of course, depend on the configuration of your process, and any restrictions within the mold.

This recirculation, combined with the immersion heater and optional cooling capability, gives fast and accurate response to bring the fluid up to temperature, or to changes in the settings when needed.

Performance is assured through matching the unique Sterlco controllers to the Sterlco high temperature system. The two systems are fully integrated to achieve accurate control.
