Heating-cooling and temperature control package units in industrial processes
Tempco TCPU package units for heating, cooling, and temperature control of industrial process fluids
TCPU HC process fluid temperature control units are the ideal solution for maintaining precise reactor temperature control or for dryers applications within pharma and chemical processes, offering both heating and cooling capabilities in a single system. The units are designed for heating and cooling of process fluids (water, demineralized water, water-glycol mixtures, oil, or other heat transfer fluids) circulating to the process unit (single-fluid temperature control).
| Tempco TCPU package units for combined heating / cooling of process fluids | Working fluids | Temperature range | Certifications and executions | Further available models |
| Water | Up to 90 °C | IP 55, PED, ATEX | Double heating circuit with heat recovery (T REG SE) | |
| Pressurized water / superheated water | Up to 140 °C | Steam heating (T REG ST) | ||
| Diathermic oil | Up to 200 °C |
TCPU HC TREG temperature control units (TCU) combine heating and cooling functions with PLC-based management. The units are configurable using a SCF (Standard Custom Flexibility) approach, which allows a standard base design to be adapted to the specific requirements of each individual customer. Indeed, the units can be configured according to the following scheme:
- heating only
- cooling only
- heating/cooling
- multiple heating/cooling stages
- steam heating
- electric heating
- 1 or 2 pumps, with optional automatic standby managed by PLC
- complete with control panel
- PLC control system with supervisory PC
Key application areas
TCPU HC temperature control units (TCU) are used to heat and cool process equipment—such as reactors in pharmaceutical and chemical applications—and for process fluid temperature control in dryers, filters, and storage tanks in the chemical, fine-chemicals, and pharmaceutical industries.
The standard units are skid-mounted and consist of:
- Gasketed or welded plate heat exchangers
- Electric heaters
- Recirculation pump
- Piping, valves (control, on-off, safety, manual), and accessories; AISI 316 on the process side
- Field transmitters and instruments
- Control and power panel
- Optional PLC-based control logic
TCPU HC temperature control units feature an enclosure rating of at least IP 55 and are compliant with PED standards, ATEX directives, and other industry regulations where applicable.

Process fluid temperature control units with dual, energy-saving heating system
The TREG SE series of temperature control units (TCU) are designed for industrial process fluids’ heating employing a hybrid heating system. They enable energy savings by recovering heat from existing plant service warm fluids using specialized, high-efficiency heat exchangers.
Should the hot fluid required for energy recovery be unavailable at any point during the process, these temperature control units are equipped with an independent heating section to ensure continued operations.
TREG SE temperature control units therefore utilize a two-stage heating process, allowing to achieve significant energy savings and efficiency in industrial plant operations:
- first stage: heat recovery (partial or total)
- second stage: electric heating (supplementary or total)
The TREG SE temperature control units range includes TCU systems designed for heating:
- water (up to 90 °C)
- pressurized water / superheated water (up to 140 °C)
- diathermic oil (up to 200 °C)
It is also possible to equip the energy-saving TREG SE temperature control units with an additional cooling section. These units are available with PED and/or ATEX certifications.
Contact the Tempco team to solve your process fluid heating requirements enhanced in the key of high energy efficiency with a TCU (temperature control unit) featuring a dual heat recovery system.

Steam-heated TREG ST temperature control units
The TREG ST temperature control units (TCU) series are designed for heating water using steam; they address temperature control requirements for heating industrial process fluids at temperatures up to 140 °C (90 °C for open-circuit versions).
These are self-contained fluid process heating units, complete with:
- heating section
- water circulation pump
- pneumatically operated steam control valve (modulating or on-off)
- electrical control panel
- electronic PID temperature controller
- condensate discharge system
The water-side hydraulic circuit of these TREG ST temperature control units is typically pressurized to simplify installation, though an open expansion tank circuit configuration is available upon request.
A cooling section can also be added upon request. TREG ST steam-heated temperature control units are available with ATEX/PED certifications.
