The TPC system is equipped with a robust, proven product temperature control algorithm validated over 20 years. Through cascade control, rate control and multiple limiting mechanisms, it delivers unparalleled precision in controlling product temperature and heating rate.

Cascade Control

Integrated with a product temperature control group, the system adopts a proportional cascade algorithm. It drives the product temperature back to the target trajectory by setting the air temperature of the autoclave/oven to a specific value higher than the product temperature. Cascade parameters can be recipe-customized for different loading conditions and product configurations.

Temperature Control Point Selection

The temperature controller can be programmed to select control targets: maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average value, median value, or a specific product thermocouple. For advanced applications, the TPC system can be configured to control via selected thermocouple groups at different curing stages, ideal especially for the curing of large main structural components.

Limit Protection

The TPC system provides configurable limiting parameters, including maximum air temperature, maximum air-product temperature difference, and air temperature variation limits based on current set values, ensuring process safety.

Gradient Control

The system supports configurable real-time thermal gradient monitoring and control. It can monitor temperature distribution for a single product or the entire load, and maintain the gradient below the set upper limit by adjusting the heating rate. This function is mainly used for aerospace parts such as satellite components to prevent structural stress caused by thermal gradients.

Rate Control

Cascade control is sufficiently efficient under normal conditions. For closed-loop rate control requirements, the TPC system is equipped with an advanced rate controller that enables real-time regulation to maintain a stable product heating rate. This algorithm can quickly respond to rate fluctuations caused by exothermic reactions or pressure changes, ensuring process consistency.
