Description
RC 5 basic is a powerful recirculating chiller designed for external cooling tasks down to −30 °C. Its demand-controlled refrigeration circuit uses the climate-friendly natural refrigerant R290 and delivers high energy efficiency together with a compact footprint, helping laboratories reduce both energy consumption and bench space. A speed-controlled pressure and suction pump manufactured from PEEK allows indirect, stepless adjustment of maximum pressure and flow rate (0,6 bar; 31 l/min). Excellent temperature stability of ± 0,1 K at −10 °C supports demanding applications. The high-quality insulated 7 l tank incorporates an integrated filling funnel and a drain valve; a hose is simply connected for emptying so that the operator never contacts the thermal fluid directly. An easily opened front flap provides convenient access for cleaning the air filter of the refrigeration unit. Cooling capacity reaches 1400 W at 20 °C; the working range extends from −30 °C to room temperature, with an expanded operating range up to 80 °C. A digital fill-level display and RS 232 plus USB interfaces complete the unit from manufacturer IKA, supplied as a single piece.

Questions about RC 5 basic, Recirculating chiller
What is this article?
RC 5 basic, 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.
