Circulation chillers for variable use in laboratory, mini-plant and production for temperatures from -20 up to 80 °C

The LAUDA Variocool circulation chillers offer a broad performance spectrum for demanding temperature control tasks. The color TFT screen makes operation easy. A USB interface and an alarm contact are integrated as standard features. Additional interfaces are available as accessories. They are located in the front of the device, which means they are easy to access.

The circulation chillers with their multitude of options are very well suited to a number of different areas of application. Optional pumps, for example, enable higher supply pressure. Optional heating units, which are adapted to the cooling capacity, enable the quick heating of the connected application when needed.

Application examples

  • Central cooling water supply in laboratories
  • Cooling of analytical devices
  • Temperature control of bioreactors
  • Supply to cooling traps

Variocool Circulation chillers with cooling capacities up to 2 kW

Variocool circulation chillers function in an operating temperature range of -20 to 40 °C. Optional heaters can be added to increase the maximum temperature to 80 °C. For greater pressure requirements, optional pumps are available with the VC 1200 version or higher. With the exception of the VC 600, all models are also available as water-cooled versions. All devices are equipped with lockable casters. The compact dimensions of the models from VC 600 to VC 2000 (W) allows to place them under the laboratory table.

Variocool Circulation chillers with cooling capacities up to 5 kW

The models VC 3000 and VC 5000 offer cooling capacities of 3 and 5 kW. They are also available in water-cooled design (W). For flexible adaption to different applications the chillers can also be delivered with optional high-power pumps or heaters. Further options are a flow control, outdoor-installation or a noise reduction for the types VC 5000 and VC 5000 W.

Variocool Circulation chillers with cooling capacities up to 10 kW

The highly efficient tower design circulation chillers provide cooling capacities between 7 and 10 kW. Options like heating or high-power pumps add to the devices‘ areas of application. The models are available in air or water-cooled design. All models are equipped with casters which can be controlled and locked.
