Laboratory cooler combines low price, high cooling power
The HTS-PS1 (photo) is a low-cost, compact cooling system that is designed for laboratory use. Typical applications include the removal of process heat or for temperature control for pipetting elements and bioreactors. The air-water cooler does not include an active refrigeration unit; instead, it uses a circulating cycle of cooling water in the form of a heat exchanger. Since there is no compressor, the device requires no maintenance, says the company, and it is quiet and easy to install. The circulating pump has a pumped capacity of up to 8 L/min, and a pressure output of 0.2 bar. The HTS-PS1 can be operated over a temperature range from 5 to 80°C. — Hüber Kältemaschinenbau, Offenberg, Germany
