With the 2
nd
generation thermofin
®
control system
(TCS.2)
, the user receives a complete control and
regulation unit for a split system. It is used to control, regulate and monitor commercially available
EC fans as well as to electronically adjust the speed of fan motors in conjunction with appropriate
inverters and voltage regulators. In addition, the TCS regulates and controls all water-side
components in hybrid and evaporative cooling systems.
The TCS is also used in thermofin
®
industrial refrigeration products. In penthouse and insulation
coolers, it controls, regulates and monitors not only the speed of the fans but also all flap movements
and defrosting processes.
The communication between the TCS and the existing fans or power controllers can take place via
a MODBUS connection. Conventional information transmission using an analogue signal is also
possible with the TCS. Up to 126 CAN I/O fieldbus components can be connected via the system
bus. A web or master terminal enables decentralized operation and visualization.
The TCS is a modern control unit with all necessary input and output systems. A 4.3” TFT display
with touch function provides a convenient overview. All operator and system settings can be made
user-friendly and intuitive.
Right from the factory, the TCS is located in a weatherproof switch box directly on the housing of the
corresponding heat exchanger. If the installation is to take place spatially separated for structural
reasons, the TCS can easily be installed in a separate control cabinet, e.g., be housed in the engine
room of the cooling system.
Scope of application
The TCS is used in modern and energy-efficient refrigeration and air conditioning systems to
regulate, control and monitor heat exchangers and their fans, including all the necessary additional
units and fittings.
Without an appropriately classified control cabinet, control units of the TCS series may only be
operated in dry, weather-protected and properly air-conditioned rooms. Control cabinets from
thermofin
®
company meet all of the important criteria for outdoor installation and therefore also
enable trouble-free operation with a built-in TCS.
