Temperature control apparatus

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

• at least one temperature control branch connected to a feed for a temperature control medium,
• a pump system including at least one 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 the delivery output of the pump system,
• at least one throttle device having a variable degree of opening for throttling a quantitative through-flow of the temperature control medium in the at least one temperature control branch, and
• an open-loop or closed-loop control device with the degree of opening of the at least one throttle device as a setting value and with a control variable from the group:
• degree of opening of the throttle device, temperature, temperature difference, through-flow, pressure or a physical value to be derived from that group,
• wherein the pump open-loop or closed-loop control device provides for open-loop or closed-loop control of the delivery output of the pump system in dependence on the degree of opening of the at least one throttle device.
