Description

The water temperature is a key factor in ensuring effective cooling and meeting concrete temperature control standards. However, in actual projects, environmental factors and changes in concrete temperature often lead to water temperatures in the cooling pipes exceeding design values ​​and fluctuating continuously. This has little effect on controlling the maximum concrete temperature, and subsequent temperature adjustments are irreversible due to the inability to control the maximum concrete temperature, thus increasing the risk of internal cracking. Consequently, it frequently occurs that even after water cooling, the controlled temperature cannot be reached. Summary of the Invention
