Safe, Efficient and Cost Effective Cooling of Lab Equipment
Radleys (Saffron Walden, Essex, England) has introduced the Huber Minichiller – a compact and highly affordable benchtop chiller suitable for cooling laboratory equipment such as a standard rotary evaporator, a series of small lab condensers or multiple reaction blocks.
Traditionally many laboratories have used constant running water from their mains supply to cool their laboratory equipment. However, with escalating water charges, erratic cooling caused by pressure drops in the water supply, the risk of flooding and the environmental implications of high water usage, implementing or even maintaining traditional mains-fed water cooling systems has become considerably less attractive.
The Minichiller is incredibly small and extremely quiet, yet powerful enough to ensure highly stable cooling down to –20°C, says Radleys. Through efficient energy management the Minichiller is able to cool laboratory equipment eliminating the cost of mains water and helping the environment. The Minichiller has an integral float-switch which cuts off the coolant flow should tubing become dislodged, with a maximum internal coolant volume limited to 2 litres, thereby restricting any flood to this volume.
Robust, reliable and simple to use, the Minichiller has an LED display that provides a clear display of real-time information such as set point and actual temperature.
Radleys' experience service team provide technical support and on-site servicing for all Huber products.
