Compact Recirculating Chiller: RC 2 lite

The compact recirculating chiller from IKA has a strong cooling capacity of 400 W and has been developed for simple cooling tasks as low as −10°C.

The RC 2 lite is the ideal peripheral device meant for cooling reflux condensers and rotary evaporators, or it can be used as a cooling source for devices that disperse heat through a heat exchanger (for example, cooling coils, laboratory reactors, cooled incubatorsand double-walled grinding containers).

Over the years, the easy-to-clean and easily accessible stainless steel mesh filter guarantees a reliably high cooling capacity. The RC 2 lite can reach low temperatures specifically fast and this is attributed to the low filling volume of just a single liter.

The huge working volume of 2.5 L facilitates a significant number of external applications without having to refill liquids. Within the reservoir, the filling level can be distinctly seen through the huge, illuminated sight glass.

The robust pressure and suction pump allows the concurrent operation of many small applications and also external applications in open-bath vessels along with a level controller. Because of the natural refrigerant R290, the RC 2 lite is incredibly eco-friendly and well prepared for the days to come.
