Thermal Control Systems
Thermal Control System – The Die Therm TCS4 thermal control system measures and controls heat removal from each circuit in a casting die. The Die Therm Technology is patented in the United States and in the European Union. See the Value Creation page for a more detailed explanation of what the TCS4 system can do for your company. The estimate of benefits provided by thermal control alone are:
