IKA Works HRC 2 Lite

Compact refrigerated and heating circulator with powerful 400 W cooling and 1000 W heating capacity, designed for simple tempering tasks down from -10 to 100 °C.

The HRC 2 lite is the perfect peripheral device for tempering bioreactors and laboratory reactors, open bath solutions or serves as a tempering source for measuring devices. With its compact and space-saving design, the refrigerated and heating circulator even fits in confined laboratory space conditions.

The easily accessible and easy-to-clean mesh filter (stainless steel) ensures a consistently high cooling capacity over years. Thanks to the low filling volume of just one liter, the HRC 2 lite is able to reach the desired temperatures particularly fast. Its large working volume of 2.5 liters enables a high number of external applications without the need of refilling thermal fluids. The filling level in the reservoir can be read through the large, illuminated sight glass.

With the powerful pressure and suction pump it is possible to carry out demanding applications as well as external applications in open bath vessels in combination with a level controller. Thanks to the natural refrigerant R290, the HRC 2 lite is remarkably sustainable and well prepared for the future.

The devices of the lite series can be ideally used as peripheral devices. In order to ensure the most convenient handling of the application, they are equipped with an RS 232 and USB interface and can thus be controlled directly via the respective main device using device-to-device communication. Control and monitoring via labworldsoft® and other laboratory software is also possible.
