Overview
The Lytron RC022J03BB2M065 is a Kodiak-series recirculating chiller engineered for precise temperature regulation in demanding laboratory, medical, and industrial applications. Kodiak recirculating chillers provide precise temperature control or cooling below ambient temperature, with outstanding performance, high reliability, quiet operation and ease-of-use. The J03 electrical configuration delivers single-phase, 10A, 60 Hz power, making it compatible with standard North American facility power.
Key Features
- Microprocessor Temperature Controller: Digital temperature display with 0.1°C setpoint, RS-232 interface, digital pressure sensing, low level, low/high temp fault shutdown, relay contacts, calibration offset, low flow shutoff, auto-restart, °C/°F toggle, and audible alarm with mute.
- Hot-Gas Bypass Control: Employs a hot-gas bypass system for precise temperature control while minimizing compressor wear through continuous operation.
- Integrated Filtration: 5-micron water filter and air filter included.
- External Flow Valve: Manually adjustable globe or ball valve for flow optimization.
- Reliable Cooling Performance: Compressor-based system suitable for 3D printers, lasers, laboratory equipment, medical devices, and semiconductor processing.
