Recirculating Chiller

A recirculating chiller is used to maintain precise temperature control for laboratory equipment, helping to cool down instruments, processes, or reactions that generate heat, ensuring accuracy and stability during experiments.

A recirculating chiller works by circulating a coolant through a closed system. It absorbs heat from the equipment or process and cools it down using an internal refrigeration system before recirculating it back to maintain a consistent temperature.

Some recirculating chillers have dual functionality, capable of both heating and cooling. However, it’s important to check the specific capabilities of each model to ensure it meets your exact requirements.

Common coolants for recirculating chillers include water, ethylene glycol mixtures, and specialized heat-transfer fluids. Choosing the right coolant depends on the required temperature range and compatibility with the materials used in the system.

When choosing a recirculating chiller, consider factors such as the required temperature range, cooling capacity, flow rate, and compatibility with your equipment. This will help ensure efficient and precise temperature control for your specific application.

Regular maintenance for a recirculating chiller includes checking and replacing coolant as needed, cleaning filters and heat exchangers, and ensuring proper operation of pumps and refrigeration components. This helps maintain efficiency and prolongs the chiller’s lifespan.

Recirculating chillers generally produce a moderate level of noise, similar to a refrigerator. Some models are designed with noise reduction features, making them suitable for environments where quieter operation is preferred.
