Circulator ORCA

Overview
A sustainability‑focused, energy‑efficient closed‑loop refrigerated circulator designed to replace tap‑water cooling in laboratories and small industrial processes. Compact footprint and low noise make it suitable for instrument benches and shared lab spaces.

Key Features

• Replaces tap water‑based cooling to reduce utility and water consumption
• Adaptive cooling power across a -10 to 40°C range for varying heat loads
• Precise temperature control and stability: ±0.1°C
• Low acoustic level: 49 dB for quiet operation near workbenches
• Reduced heat exhaust to room, lowering HVAC load
• Compact design with multiple accessory connectors and hosing kits for easy integration
• User‑friendly interface requiring minimal training
• 3‑year warranty; designed and manufactured in the UK

Applications

• Reaction chemistry: condensers, reflux and Soxhlet systems
• Replacement of high‑consumption tap‑water cooling with closed‑loop systems
• Cooling for analytical instruments, optics and biological workflows
• Temperature control for bioreactors and fermentation vessels
• Facilities aiming to reduce water use and meet sustainability standards
