ProductHermetic Refrigerating & Heating Circulator (HRHC series) with dynamic temperature control for precise material and circulation liquid temperature management.
ApplicationDesigned for integration with reactors, autoclaves, pilot and mini-plant systems, double-wall and flow reactors, distillation setups, material testing rigs, combinatorial chemistry, semiconductor processes and vacuum chambers.
Advantages & Functions- Fully hermetic circulation minimizes contamination and extends heat-transfer fluid life.
- Wide working temperature ranges available depending on model/configuration (examples: -100°C to +350°C potential ranges).
- Intelligent feedforward PID temperature control for high stability and repeatability.
- Plate heat exchanger and optimized heating pipeline for improved heating/cooling rates.
- Cooling capacity spectrum from fractional kW up to several hundred kW across the series (approx. 0.5–500 kW depending on model).
- Optional TFT touch displays (4", 7", 10") with graphical curve display and export.
- Comprehensive alarms and safety functions; rapid cool-down capability from high temperatures.
- Optional remote communication and monitoring via computer interface (up to ~200 m with appropriate configuration).
- Compact footprint relative to available capacity.
Structure designClosed-loop liquid circulation with expansion vessel; high-efficiency plate heat exchanger reduces required thermal fluid volume and enables fast temperature transitions. Expansion vessel is temperature-limited so only its medium contacts air, reducing volatilization and risk. Many continuous control ranges are possible without changing the heat transfer medium or increasing system pressure (examples: -80°C~190°C, -70°C~220°C, -88°C~170°C, -55°C~250°C, -30°C~300°C depending on configuration).
Key structural advantages- Only expansion vessel medium interfaces with air (vessel temperature limited, typically ≤ ~60°C), reducing evaporation risk.
- No volatilization of heat transfer fluid at high operating temperatures.
- Reduced need for frequent fluid replacement across broad temperature ranges.
Display function- Displays process temperatures for all control points.
- Shows expansion vessel liquid level and refrigeration/heater/pump status.
- Selectable temperature control modes for material and heat-transfer medium; set upper/lower limits and jacket-to-material differential.
- Empty-liquid alarm and manual/automatic compressor operation options.
- Temperature curve display with zoom and export; recipe/program selection and alarm logs.
Principle of process controlDual-loop PID architecture (main loop + secondary loop) with feedforward. Main loop output combined with feedforward establishes secondary loop setpoints to tightly control gradients and minimize overshoot and lag.
Circulation pumpHigh-temperature-resistant magnetic drive or shield-driven leak-free pumps reduce leakage risk, operate with low noise and provide flows suitable for process circulation requirements.
Electronic expansion valveWide-range dynamic refrigerant control is achieved using electronic expansion valves (example vendor: Emerson) with step motor control for fine refrigerant flow adjustment and improved regulation accuracy.
Configuration software (optional)- Computer connection for installation, real-time display and recording.
- Communication range up to ~200 m with suitable interface.
- Facilitates temperature programming, curve records, program selection and alarm logging.
Safety protectionMultiple protections including self-diagnostics, compressor high/low voltage protection, pump/compressor overload protection, high/low liquid level alarms, independent over-temperature protections, phase protection and circulation-line shutoff protection.
