About Temperature Control Units
Temperature control units – or TCUs – are used when a manufacturing or testing process involves heating or heating/cooling at elevated temperatures. Aqua are the sole UK agent for the German manufactured Single range, synonymous within the industry for quality, reliability, and energy efficiency.
TCUs give precise temperature control to a process. Common applications include injection moulding, plastic extrusion, vessel heating within the food & pharmaceutical sector, automotive manufacture, and use within laboratory/testing environments.
For help with product selection for your particular application call the team on 0333 004 4433 and one of our specialists Engineers will be happy to assist.
Models
Our range of Single TCUs contains 3 main variants:
- Water operated – for temperatures up to 225˚C.
- Oil operated – for temperatures up to 350˚C. Ideal for when water models are ruled out due to high temperature requirements.
- Variotherm models – for temperatures up to 200˚C and designed specifically for instances where different temperatures are required in quick succession, for example in lamination and composite manufacture.

Frequently
asked questions
A temperature control unit (TCU) is a self-contained unit that heats and cools a circulating fluid to a precise temperature setpoint. TCUs are used in plastic injection moulding, die casting, extrusion, and other precision manufacturing processes where tight temperature control of tooling or machinery is essential.
TCUs typically cover a range of temperatures, with our units able to achieve up to 350∞ C. . The correct range depends on your process requirements and Aqua can advise on the appropriate specification.
Aqua’s TCUs offer tight temperature tolerances suitable for precision process applications. The specific accuracy will vary by model. Contact our Sales team with your tolerance requirements and we will confirm the right unit for your process.

Aqua Temperature Control Unit Singles Itself Out From The Competition
Our client, a Hampshire based plastic injection moulding company, used a selection of temperature control units (TCUs) across their process. They had experimented with units from a range of manufacturers but were still to find a brand that ticked all the boxes for them, plus two of their existing units had failed. Aqua Sales Engineer, Will Hughes, explains how we stepped in to keep their production on track.
