Temperature Control Systems Overview
Thermosel System
Specially designed for high-temperature viscosity applications, the Thermosel System excels in industries like adhesives, asphalt, polymers, and waxes. This system enables precise testing at elevated temperatures with disposable sample chambers for easy cleanup and reliable repeatability. It integrates seamlessly with Brookfield viscometers ensuring consistency in even the most demanding conditions.
LAUDA Loop 100
An environmentally friendly alternative using advanced Peltier technology, the LAUDA Loop 100 offers both heating and cooling in one compact, whisper-quiet system. With a temperature range from 4°C to 80°C, this unit is ideal for users seeking accuracy, innovation, and energy efficiency, and it pairs well with a variety of DV instruments and integrates with Cone/Plate, Enhanced UL Adapter, Small Sample Adapter, or DIN Adapter.
Water Bath TC-650
The TC-650 is a space-saving circulating refrigerated bath for labs looking for precision without sacrificing footprint. It jacketed devices. Programmable controls allow for automated, repeatable temperature adjustments, making this unit ideal for streamlined lab operations.
Water Bath TC-550
Versatile and powerful, the circulated refrigerated TC-550 bath features built-in circulator pumps and programmable temperature control for a wide range of experimental needs. It supports direct measurement in a 600mL beaker. It's a reliable choice for labs conducting high- and low-temperature testing across various disciplines.
Water Bath TC-250
With a large 10-liter reservoir and wide temperature capability, the TC-250 is designed for high-volume or multi-sample applications. Whether you’re performing viscosity tests or conditioning samples, this system delivers consistent control with the flexibility to support varied workloads.
Water Bath TC-150
Ideal for compact workspaces, the TC-150 offers excellent temperature stability and efficiency. It features a built-in circulator pump and Built- in tap water cooling coil for effective thermal regulation, making it suitable for water-jacketed devices, incubation, and sample prep. Despite its small footprint, it delivers performance you can count on.
Which One is Right for You?
- Choose Thermosel for high-temp testing of specialized materials. *
- Opt for LAUDA Loop 100 when you need a compact temperature control solution for moderate temperature applications and accessory use. Great chocie if you prefer a smaller footprint compared to the TC Series.
- Select TC-650 or TC-550 for standalone operation with flexibility in testing vessels. The TC-650 offers a space-saving design ideal for accessories at higher temperatures. The TC-550 delivers the same performance, with added versatility for use with both accessories and beakers during calibration checks.
- Go with TC-250 for moderate high-temperature applications (ambient +10°C), supporting both accessories and beakers.
- Use TC-150 for compact, high-precision control in space-limited labs.
