Temperature Control Systems
Industrial cooling and localised thermal management
In continuous industrial processes, temperature control is a critical parameter for process stability, equipment protection and product quality. Fluid System supplies temperature control systems for the process industry, selected for localised applications, continuous operation and direct integration into the plant.
The offering is structured around two complementary technologies:
- electronically controlled AIREKA pneumatic coolers, for special applications and localised cooling;
- SMC thermo-chillers, for active temperature control of process fluids in closed circuits.
Comparison of Temperature Control technologies
| Technology | Operating principle | Indicative capacity | Area of use | Distinctive feature | Reference brand |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pneumatic coolers | Air cooling with electronic control | Up to 5000 kcal/h | Localised cooling | No refrigerant / zero maintenance | AIREKA |
| Process thermo-chillers | Closed-loop fluid cooling | 0.3 – >20 kW | Process temperature control | High precision / fluid stability | SMC |
Electronically controlled Aireka Pneumatic Coolers
Aireka electronically controlled pneumatic coolers are systems for localised thermal management in industrial and process applications, used to remove heat in a targeted way from confined volumes or specific plant areas, without using traditional refrigeration circuits. Based on vortex-effect pneumatic technology and electronic temperature control, they activate cooling only when the setpoint is exceeded, ensuring straightforward integration, reduced consumption and continuous operation even under demanding operating conditions.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Vortex-effect pneumatic cooling technology.
Electronic temperature control via dedicated control unit.
Power supply: 24 V DC.
Air supply pressure: from 3 to 7 bar.
Indicative capacity: from 132 W to 1,650 W, depending on the model and configuration (data referring to cooling kits).
Temperature management via electronic control unit with probe from -20 °C to +60 °C; user-programmable intervention thresholds.
Cooling activated only when the setpoint is exceeded.
No refrigerant gases, oils or moving mechanical parts.
Continuous operation without scheduled maintenance.
Positive-pressure cooling for protection against dust and contaminants.
Main applications
- Localised thermal management of electrical panels and control cabinets.
- Cooling of control boxes and sensitive equipment.
- Thermal protection of components subject to overheating.
- Integration into industrial and process plants with space constraints.

SMC Thermo-Chillers for process fluids
SMC thermo-chillers are systems designed for active and continuous temperature control of process fluids, operating in a closed circuit with precise setpoint regulation. They are used when the thermal stability of the fluid directly affects process or machine performance. The latest SMC thermo-chillers introduce low-environmental-impact refrigerants (R32, GWP 675) and advanced control architectures, such as triple inverter control and IO-Link integration. Solutions such as the HRLF300 model enable even more precise and sustainable management of thermal processes, reducing consumption, footprint and integration complexity.
TECHNICAL FEATURES
Temperature control of the recirculating fluid in a closed circuit.
Variable setting range depending on the series and application.
Control accuracy: up to ±0.1 °C.
Cooling capacity: from 0.3 to over 20 kW, depending on the series.
Compatible fluids: water, water-glycol, deionised water, special fluids.
Fluid circuit pressure: up to 0.5 MPa.
Power supply: single-phase or three-phase.

Main applications
- Thermal control of process machines.
- Thermal stabilisation of continuous production lines.
- Cooling of hydraulic circuits and tools.
- Industrial processes sensitive to temperature variation.
