Ai -30°C 17L Recirculating Chiller with 20L/Min Centrifugal Pump
Ai C30 series recirculating chillers are true thermostatic-control laboratory chillers. These closed laboratory chillers are ideal for applications such as cooling rotary evaporators, analytical instrumentation, laser etching, ICP, vacuum systems, plasma etching, and jacketed reactors. This system can also be used as a replacement for tap-water cooling in laboratory applications.
Ai C30 chillers are compressor-based recirculating chillers that offer strong performance, high reliability, quiet operation, and ease of use. A powerful force/suction pump provides constant flow rates, while a microprocessor PID controller provides precise temperature control and cooling below ambient temperature.
