• HT60-M2 and HT60-M3 - for applications with maximum heating requirements and high flow rates
• HT-C.U. - with integrated cooling element that can be connected directly to the cooling water network for particularly high thermal loads

Certifications and standards

The device complies with all common electrical and safety standards such as CE and meets current guidelines for laboratory and industrial use, including comprehensive protection functions against incorrect operation and overheating.

Typical fields of application and application scenarios

Thanks to its flexible integration and very high temperature control accuracy, the temperature control system is ideal for tasks that require maximum process control:

• Chemical synthesis in reactors: Precise maintenance and dynamic control of exothermic or endothermic reaction processes, e.g. with common reactive substances, solvents and oils.
• Temperature control of distillation columns: Control of critical separation processes in which constant temperatures are crucial for product purity.
• Autoclave processes in pharmaceutical and biotechnological laboratories: Ensuring conditions relevant to sterility.
• Pilot and technical centre plants: Simulation and upscaling of production processes with high requirements for control behaviour, temperature stability and documentation.
• Production plants in fine chemicals and materials development: Control of the process temperature during polymerisation, crystallisation and other thermally sensitive processes.

Frequently used temperature control media include, for example, thermal oils, heat-resistant silicone oils or certain heat transfer fluids, depending on the specific process and temperature range.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How is the unit operated and parameterised?

All important settings can be made directly on the unit thanks to the clear LCD display and intuitive menu navigation. Colour-coded buttons and self-explanatory user guidance ensure quick familiarisation.

What safety features are available?

In addition to crack protection, overheating protection and electronic level monitoring, several safety sensors and the closed circuit ensure the highest standards of hazard protection and reliability.

Is the system safe to operate continuously at high temperatures?

Thanks to the sophisticated oil protection concept (including automatic heating ramps) and the robust design, even long-term operation at temperatures up to 400 °C is possible - without premature ageing of the heat transfer fluid.

How can the system be integrated into existing plants?

Thanks to adaptable interfaces (including USB) and compact dimensions, it can be easily integrated into existing reactor systems, mini-plants or process plants.

What maintenance measures are required?

The device is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular checks of the fill level and replacement of the temperature control medium (depending on operating time and usage) are usually sufficient.
