Cole-Parmer CH-800 Recirculating Chiller with Turbine Pump, 1/3HP, 120V, 60Hz

Description

This version of the Cole-Parmer CH-800 is a compact recirculating chiller with a 1/3 horsepower compressor and a turbine pump. It is designed for 120V, 60Hz operation, allowing it to connect to common laboratory electrical outlets. The turbine pump efficiently moves fluid for cooling but is best applied in systems with lower pressure demands. The primary function of the unit is to maintain a set temperature for external equipment by continuously cycling a cooled liquid through it. This helps to prevent overheating and ensures consistent operational conditions for devices like vacuum pump traps, electrophoresis apparatus, or small-scale condensation units. Typical design elements include a control interface for setting the desired temperature, an internal tank for the heat transfer medium, and protective mechanisms that may halt operation if issues such as a loss of flow or an overtemperature condition are detected.
