HRC 2 basic from IKA: the high-performance circulator for your thermal requirements
The HRC 2 basic from IKA is a refrigerated and heated thermostatic circulator designed to meet the highest demands of modern laboratories. Combining state-of-the-art technology and compact design, this device offers an impressive working temperature range from -20 °C to +100 °C, allowing for great versatility in applications requiring precise temperature control. Thanks to a PID control system, it ensures exceptional temperature stability of ±0.1 K, guaranteeing optimum precision for sensitive processes.
Its speed-controlled compressor significantly reduces noise and operating costs, while offering an efficient cooling capacity of 400 W at 20 °C. This intelligent system enables energy-efficient operation, which is essential for prolonged use. The 4-litre tank, with high-quality insulation, facilitates rapid heating and limits heat loss during cooling.
The HRC 2 basic also features an adjustable pressure and suction pump made of PEEK, offering a maximum flow rate of 21 litres/minute and a maximum pressure of 0.5 bar. This device allows external circulation of the thermal fluid up to 2.5 litres without additional filling, making the unit ideal for closed or open systems.
The unit has been designed for maximum safety and ease of use. It is equipped with a digital level indicator, minimum and maximum liquid level protection and a thermal safety circuit adjustable between 0 and 110°C. The tank can be easily emptied via a front drain valve to which a hose can be connected, thus avoiding direct contact with the thermal fluid.
Its user interface includes a clear and intuitive LED display , accompanied by visual and audible alarms in the event of temperature exceedance. Connectivity is also a plus, thanks to RS 232 and USB interfaces that allow easy integration into control or data acquisition systems. With a compact design (220 x 475 x 525 mm) and a low noise level of 52 dB(A), the HRC 2 basic fits perfectly into any working environment.
The HRC 2 basic from IKA is the ideal solution for laboratories requiring reliable and precise temperature control, while benefiting from a compact, quiet and energy-efficient device.
