Julabo FC600: Controlled thermal performance and industrial versatility
The FC600 chiller, developed by Julabo, embodies the German brand's commitment to innovation, precision and sustainability. Designed for combined heating and cooling tasks, the FC600 is a robust and high-performance solution, tailored to the needs of laboratories, research centres and industrial environments.
The technological heart of the FC600 is a PID1 control system, which guarantees remarkable temperature accuracy with a stability of ±0.2 °C. Thanks to its wide operating range, from -20 °C to +80 °C, it offers great flexibility of use, whether for rapid cooling or controlled heating processes. The integrated Active Cooling Control technology ensures constant cooling capacity across the entire operating range, optimising performance even at higher temperatures.
In accordance with DIN 12876-1 standards, the FC600 is classified as a Class III (FL) device, suitable for use with flammable bath liquids. It incorporates a range of essential safety features: freeze protection, visual and audible alarms in the event of temperature thresholds being exceeded, and a configurable automatic shut-off system, ensuring maximum safety for users and samples.
The user interface, designed for optimal ergonomics, includes a bright MULTI-DISPLAY (LED) and a waterproof, seamless keypad for quick use even in demanding environments. The bath is easily filled from the front of the unit, with pump activation to facilitate the process. The liquid level is clearly visible on the front panel.
From a mechanical point of view, the FC600 incorporates an air-cooled compressor, a stainless steel bath and a high-performance submersible pump with a flow rate of 20 l/min and a pressure of 0.5 bar. These features ensure efficient and stable circulation of the heat transfer fluid.
In terms of connectivity, the FC600 offers interfaces such as RS232, Stakei, an alarm output and a standby input. It is also compatible with external devices such as solenoid valves via Stakei connections. Several voltage versions are available depending on regional requirements, all using R134a refrigerant with a charge weight of 290 g and a global warming potential (GWP) of 1430.
Julabo is committed to environmentally friendly production: the materials used and the technologies implemented comply with sustainability standards, and each device undergoes rigorous quality testing.
The FC600 is a complete, reliable and environmentally friendly solution that meets the most stringent requirements for temperature control.
