IKA's RC 2 basic: reliable and precise cooling for your applications
The RC 2 basic from IKA stands out as a compact circulating cooler that combines performance and practicality. With a cooling capacity of 400 W at 20 °C, it is capable of maintaining a stable temperature of ±0.1 K even under intensive operating conditions. This thermal stability is essential for applications requiring rigorous control, such as chemical, biological or engineering processes that require precise temperature management.
This model is equipped with a speed-controlled PEEK pump that allows continuous and indirect adjustment of pressure and flow rate. Thanks to this feature, the user can precisely adapt the system's operation to the specific requirements of the application, thus optimising the flow of fluid in the external circuit.
The insulated 4-litre bath tank allows for extended use with up to 2.5 litres of thermal fluid in the external circuit without the need for frequent refilling. In addition, filling and draining are facilitated by an integrated feed hopper and drain valve, which ensure safe and clean handling of fluids.
The RC 2 basic is designed for easy maintenance with an easy-to-open front cover for quick access to the air filter. The filter can be cleaned easily, ensuring a long service life and optimal continuous operation.
For user and system safety, visual and audible alarms warn of excessive temperature, low fluid levels or any other abnormal situations. The large, easy-to-read LED display provides continuous information on pump speed and temperature, allowing clear and accurate monitoring of parameters.
With its compact dimensions and low noise level of only 52 dB(A), the RC 2 basic fits easily into any working environment, even in laboratories where space and acoustic comfort are key criteria.
