Why Use a Recirculating Chiller?

Among baths, circulators, and recirculating chillers, why choose the latter? Recirculating chillers deliver a flow of temperature-controlled fluid. They are enclosed circulators featuring robust cooling systems used for demanding continuous-use lab applications.

Recirculating chillers offer:

• Temperature control from -10° to +80°C
• Sealable reservoirs which permit open-loop and closed-loop use
• Pumping capacities up to 15.5 L/min

In addition to many lab applications such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage processing, chillers are used in industrial settings. These include:

Plastics: chillers cool the hot plastic that is injected, blown, extruded, or stamped. Chillers can also be used to cool down the equipment used in the manufacturing process.

Lasers: chillers cool down lasers and the power supplies used to power them.

Printing: chillers remove the heat generated by the printing rollers and also cool down the paper after it comes out of the ink drying ovens.

Machine tooling: chillers cool the spindle of the machine as it produces the part and cools the liquid being sprayed on part itself as it is being turned on the spindle.
