Abstract:
1. A printing press comprising one or more printing units ( 01 ) embodied as printing towers for double-sided multicolor printing, and a device for controlling the temperature of components of one or more of the printing units ( 01 ), wherein the printing unit ( 01 ) comprises a plurality of printing couples ( 04 ) arranged vertically, one above the other, each having at least one component ( 07 ; 12 ) to be temperature controlled, wherein the component ( 07 ; 12 ) to be temperature controlled is in thermal interaction via an intake ( 17 ) with fluid of a secondary circuit ( 14 ; 16 ) for the purpose of controlling the temperature of said component, wherein fluid from a primary circuit ( 19 ; 29 , 35 ) can be metered via an infeed point ( 21 ) to the secondary circuit ( 14 ; 16 ), for the purpose of controlling the temperature thereof, wherein at least two components ( 07 ; 12 ) to be temperature controlled, assigned to different printing couples ( 04 ), are in thermal interaction with two different secondary circuits ( 14 ; 16 ) for the purpose of controlling the temperature of said components, characterized in that, in addition to the infeed point ( 21 ), a selectively actuable electric heating appliance ( 26 ) is provided in the secondary circuit ( 14 ; 16 ), and in that at least the valves ( 24 ) and/or pumps ( 22 ) and/or heating appliances ( 26 ) assigned to the two different secondary circuits ( 14 ; 16 ) are disposed on an end face side of the machine at different heights from each other and/or can be supplied with fluid from the primary circuit ( 19 ; 29 , 35 ) via infeed points ( 21 ) disposed at different heights from each other.
