Description
RC 5 control is a powerful recirculating chiller for external cooling duties down to −30 °C. The demand-regulated system runs on climate-friendly natural refrigerant R290 and combines high energy efficiency with a compact design that saves laboratory space and operating costs. A speed-controlled PEEK pressure and suction pump enables stepless indirect setting of maximum pressure and volume flow (0,6 bar; 31 l/min). Supplied with an external PT100 temperature sensor and offering temperature stability of ± 0,1 K, the unit meets the most exacting process requirements. The Wireless Controller (WiCo) permits safe, convenient operation from any location, while ten freely programmable temperature ramps of ten steps each simplify and automate workflows. The well-insulated 7 l tank features an integrated filling funnel and drain valve for clean, contact-free fluid handling; a front flap allows easy cleaning of the refrigeration air filter. Cooling capacity is 1400 W at 20 °C, with a working range of −30 °C to room temperature and extended operation to 80 °C. Additional control functions include confirmation mode, set-point signal, timer/counter and degassing. Interfaces comprise PT100 socket, Multi IO (solenoid valves, alarm, standby), RS 232 and USB. This IKA instrument is supplied as one piece.

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