Lab equipment: Tango offers powerful heating and cooling

Radleys (www.radleys.co.uk) have announced the launch of the new Huber Petite Fleur or baby Tango, a new entry level Unistat thermoregulator for applications in the mid-range -40˚C to 200˚C. The baby Tango is 2/3 the size, 2/3 the power and 2/3 the cost of the classic Unistat Tango.

 

As with the larger Unistat models the Petite Fleur features all the benefits in performance and safety of a hydraulically sealed system. The CC Pilot Professional Controller and display provides the unit with full functionality. The powerful variable speed pump combined with variable pressure control and mircoprocessor technology ensures the best possible results and at just 26cm wide the baby Tango is ideally suited to fit in any fumehood. The castors fitted at the back also allow the compact unit to be easily manoeuvred into the required position.

 

The Petite Fleur is ideal for applications where regular vessel changes can often lead to residue water in hoses and reactors mixing with the thermofluid, thereby inhibiting heat transfer. To overcome this, the Petite Fleur features a unique water separation system which allows water to be removed from the thermofluid during heat/cooling cycles.

 

As with all thermoregulators, the DIN 12876 standard requires that cooling powers are measured at full pump speed, however development at Huber has shown that reducing the pump speed reduces the heat energy entering the system, which in turn leads to higher cooling powers and lower end temperatures. The Petite Fleur also has an unusually powerful pump so reducing the pump speed can make additional cooling power available - in some cases an extra 30 to 50 watts can be achieved.

 

The introduction of the Petite Fleur means that range of Unistats available from Radleys now has cooling capacity starting from 480 watts at 20˚C making it the only range of thermoregulators in the world that offers professional scale up from small scale laboratory R&D to production plant.
