Temperature control apparatus

A temperature control apparatus for a shaping tool or components of a shaping working machine, the temperature control apparatus comprising:

• at least two temperature control branches connected to a feed for a temperature control medium,
• a pump system including a pump for conveying temperature control medium in the feed,
• a pump open-loop or closed-loop control device for open-loop or closed-loop control of a delivery output of the pump system,
• at least two throttle devices, each of the at least two throttle devices being configured to have a variable degree of opening for throttling a quantitative through-flow of the temperature control medium in a respective one of the at least two temperature control branches, and
• an open-loop or closed-loop control device having a degree of opening of each of the at least two throttle devices as a setting value, and having a control variable selected from a group including:
• the degree of opening of each of the at least two throttle devices, a temperature, a temperature difference, a through-flow, or a pressure,
• wherein the pump open-loop or closed-loop control device is configured to control an operation of the pump so as to adjust the delivery output of the pump system depending on a control signal indicating the degree of opening of each of the at least two throttle devices.
