RC 5 basic

Powerful recirculating chiller, designed for external cooling applications up to -30°C. The energy-efficient chiller is operated with an eco-friendly refrigerant and reaches a high power density. This results in a comparatively small working space in the lab. The speed-controlled PEEK pump allows an indirect, continuous adjustment of the maximum pressure and flow rate. Due to its excellent temperature stability of about ± 0,1 K, the RC 5 can handle even sophisticated applications. The isolated, high-quality 7l bath has an integrated hopper and drain valve, ensuring a safe and clean handling of the thermofluid. A hose can be connected to empty the bath in order to avoid direct contact with the thermofluid. The easy-to-open front flap allows an easy cleaning of the cooling unit’s air filter.
