Abstract:
A multiloop temperature-control system, comprising:a hydraulic bus having inlet and discharge lines for a temperature-regulating medium and respective supplies and returns connectable selectively to respective medium-circulation loops of respective loads; a plurality of spaced apart temperature-controlling hydraulic modules, variable in number, and readily connectable to said hydraulic bus at ports communicating a respective supply and a respective return and ports communicating with said lines, each of said temperature-controlling hydraulic modules including a circulating pump for said medium, thermal means for changing a temperature of the medium, and piping connecting said ports said pump and said thermal means; a respective electric module readily connectable to and disconnectable from each of said hydraulic modules for electrically supplying same; and an electrical bus having conductors connected to an electric power source and readily connectable to and disconnectable from each of said electric modules, said electrical bus serving all of said electrical modules, said electrical modules being variable in number along said electrical bus, each of said temperature-controlling hydraulic modules comprises at least one pump, at least one heater, and a cool water control valve, and at least one heat exchanger.
