Water Chiller Mini

Laboratory water chillers are used to provide precise, consistent cooling for lab equipment and processes by circulating chilled fluid (like water or glycol), preventing overheating in analytical instruments, supporting chemical reactions, cooling lasers, maintaining stable temperatures for bioreactors, and ensuring accuracy in research like chromatography (HPLC/GC) and microscopy, vital for reliable results in pharma, biotech, and general scientific research.
Key Functions & Applications:
Cooling Analytical Instruments: Spectrophotometers, chromatographs (HPLC/GC), electron microscopes, and other sensitive devices that generate heat.
Controlling Chemical Reactions: Maintaining specific temperatures for experiments, ensuring safety and product quality.
Supporting Medical & Research Equipment: Cooling lasers, MRI/CT scanners, and other complex machinery.
Process Stability: Circulating coolant to keep processes like fermentation or distillation at optimal, stable temperatures.
Vacuum Systems: Cooling vacuum pumps and rotary evaporators.
How They Work:
They use a refrigeration cycle (compressor, condenser, evaporator) to cool a fluid (water, glycol).
This chilled fluid is then pumped through a closed loop to absorb heat from the target equipment.
This provides precise temperature control, often within ±0.1°C to ±0.5°C, which is critical for sensitive research.
Types:
Recirculating Chillers: Most common, compact, and versatile for general lab use.
Air-Cooled: Dissipate heat into the air, good for labs with good ventilation.
Water-Cooled: Use an external water source, efficient for high heat loads.
