Description
RC 2 lite is a compact recirculating chiller with a strong 400 watt cooling capacity, designed for straightforward cooling tasks down to −10 °C. It serves as a practical peripheral for cooling rotary evaporators and reflux condensers, or as a cold source for equipment that rejects heat via a heat exchanger, such as double-walled grinding vessels, cooled incubators, laboratory reactors and cooling coils. An easily accessible stainless-steel mesh filter that is simple to clean helps maintain consistently high cooling performance over years of use. With a low fill volume of only one litre, low temperatures are reached particularly quickly, while the large working volume of 2,5 litres supports many external applications without frequent top-ups. Reservoir level is monitored clearly through a large illuminated sight glass. A powerful pressure and suction pump allows simultaneous operation of several small applications as well as external open-bath work with a level controller. Using natural refrigerant R290, this unit from manufacturer IKA is environmentally considerate. Supplied as one piece with a net weight of 26,500 kg.

Questions about RC 2 lite, Recirculating chiller
What is this article?
RC 2 lite, Recirculating chiller is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IKA for laboratory use. It sits in Circulators, chillers & thermostats, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
A circulator or thermostat holds a bath liquid at a set temperature and pumps it through a jacket. A chiller is the same idea aimed below ambient. The temperature range, the cooling power and the pump flow are the three numbers. The fluid has to match the range.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
