In many industrial processes, temperature control is more than simply heating or cooling a product. Processes may need to move quickly from high temperatures to low temperatures or maintain precise temperatures across multiple stages of production. Managing these requirements with separate heating and chilling equipment can take up valuable space, add complexity, and make process control more difficult.
Mokon’s Full Range temperature control systems address these challenges by combining heating and chilling capabilities into one compact, self-supporting system. By integrating a Mokon temperature control system with an Iceman chiller, Full Range systems provide a flexible solution for processes that require both heating and cooling across a broad temperature range.
One System for Heating and Chilling
One of the biggest advantages of our Full Range system is the ability to heat and chill from a single system.
Rather than relying on separate equipment for heating and cooling, a Mokon Full Range system integrates both functions into one coordinated temperature control solution. This can simplify installation, reduce the equipment footprint, and make it easier for operators to manage changing process requirements.
For applications that regularly transition between heating and cooling cycles, having both capabilities available in one system can be particularly valuable.
Precise Temperature Control Across a Wide Range
Different manufacturing processes demand different temperature ranges. Mokon’s water-based Full Range systems can provide process temperatures from approximately -23°F to 380°F (-31°C to 193°C), depending on the system configuration. Heating capacities can reach 96 kW, while chilling capacities can reach up to 60 Tons.
For applications requiring even higher temperatures, Mokon also offers heat transfer fluid Full Range systems capable of temperatures up to 650°F (343°C).
This broad operating range gives manufacturers greater flexibility when designing processes that involve multiple temperature stages or significant temperature changes.
Integrated Controls for Better Process Performance
Another key advantage of combining heating and chilling in a single Full Range system is the ability to manage both functions through one coordinated control platform. Because the heating and cooling components are designed to work together, the system can respond more efficiently to changing process demands and maintain tighter temperature control. When separate heating and chilling systems are used, each may operate independently, which can sometimes result in heating and cooling actions working against one another. By integrating both functions into a single control strategy, Mokon Full Range systems help eliminate these conflicts, improve overall temperature stability, and provide operators with a simpler, more streamlined approach to process temperature management.
Faster Transitions Between Heating and Cooling
Many processes do not simply need a temperature to remain constant; they need to change temperature efficiently.
Mokon Full Range systems are designed for applications where both heating and chilling are required, including processes that benefit from rapid cooling. Heat transfer fluid Full Range systems, for example, are specifically designed for applications where rapid cooling is important. These systems are often selected for applications that run at elevated temperatures and require large temperature swings. Having both heating and chilling integrated into one system makes it easier to move quickly from heating to cooling, giving operators better control of the process and helping reduce overall cycle times.
Compact, Self-Supporting Design
Space is often at a premium in manufacturing facilities. Adding separate heating and cooling equipment can require additional floor space, piping, connections, controls, and infrastructure.
Mokon Full Range systems combine the heating and chilling functions into a compact, self-supporting package. The systems are also available in portable configurations, with heavy-duty casters on many models, making them easier to position where they are needed.
A more consolidated design can help simplify the overall equipment layout while reducing the number of separate systems operators need to manage.
Designed for a Wide Variety of Industries
Because Full Range systems combine heating and chilling capabilities, they can be applied across a broad range of industries. Mokon identifies applications including:
- Pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing
- Chemical processing
- Food and beverage processing
- Laboratory applications
- Plastics and composites
- Sanitary processes
- Jacketed vessels and reactors
- Multi-zone processes
Mokon also offers specialized Full Range configurations for demanding environments, including cleanroom and sanitary applications.
Customized to Your Process
No two industrial processes are exactly alike. Each application has its own temperature requirements, operating conditions, and performance goals.
Mokon Full Range systems are engineered with this in mind. From materials of construction and capacity to custom controls, multi-zone designs, demanding installation requirements, and more, each system can be configured to meet the needs of the application.
Instead of adapting a process to fit a standard system, manufacturers can choose a solution designed around their process requirements.
The Bottom Line
For manufacturers that need both heating and chilling, Mokon’s Full Range systems offer an integrated approach to process temperature control. By combining heating and chilling in one package, Full Range systems can provide:
- Greater temperature flexibility
- Heating and chilling from one system
- Precise process temperature control
- Faster heating and cooling transitions
- A compact, self-supporting equipment package
- Options for multi-zone processes
- Closed-loop configurations for facilities with limited water access
- Custom configurations for demanding applications
When process temperature requirements span a wide range, combining heating and chilling is not simply a matter of convenience—it can be an important part of creating a more flexible, controllable, and efficient temperature management strategy.
