Electronic thermostat Variocool VC 3000 W

programmableG 3/4230VAC

Description
The Variocool VC 3000 W is a water-cooled process thermostat for temperature control in circulation and process applications. Models are available in air- or water-cooled versions and are fitted with steerable fixed castors. For tower-design units from the VC 5000, sound insulation or outdoor installation options are available.
