B-740/14 Recirculating Chiller by Buchi: Precision Cooling for Laboratory Applications
The Buchi B-740/14 recirculating chiller is a versatile and high-performance cooling solution designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories. With a cooling capacity of 1400 W at 15°C and a temperature range from -10°C to 40°C, it ensures precise temperature control for various applications, including rotary evaporation, distillation, and other temperature-sensitive processes. The B-740/14 is engineered to provide reliable and consistent cooling performance, helping laboratories maintain stable conditions for reproducible results.
Unlike conventional cooling methods that rely on mains tap water, the B-740/14 offers a more sustainable and economical approach. The use of recirculating chillers like the B-740/14 helps reduce water consumption, which can otherwise exceed 300 liters per day when cooling laboratory equipment. This not only lowers operational costs but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with excessive water usage.
The B-740/14 features a durable stainless steel housing, making it well-suited for demanding lab environments. Its robust construction ensures longevity and resistance to wear, allowing the unit to maintain optimal performance even under harsh conditions. The chiller is equipped with an efficient pump that delivers a flow rate of 11 liters per minute at a pressure of 1 bar, facilitating effective heat transfer and rapid cooling. The built-in tank has a volume of 5 liters, providing ample capacity for continuous operation.
The unit operates with R134a refrigerant, which is commonly used in laboratory chillers due to its efficiency and lower environmental impact. The B-740/14 is ideal for use with one or two bench-top rotary evaporators or a 20-liter rotary evaporator, making it a practical choice for both small-scale and larger laboratory operations.
A key advantage of the B-740/14 is its ability to maintain a constant cooling temperature, which enhances process safety and reduces solvent emissions. Stable temperature conditions are crucial for achieving reproducible results in experiments and processes, as fluctuations in temperature can lead to inconsistencies and potential errors. The chiller’s precise temperature control contributes to more reliable outcomes and improved experimental accuracy.
Moreover, the B-740/14’s design prioritizes ease of use and integration into laboratory setups. The unit has a compact footprint, with dimensions of 45 cm x 67 cm x 40 cm (W x H x D), making it suitable for labs with limited space. The hose connection measures 13.5 mm, enabling straightforward installation and connection to laboratory equipment. Operating within an ambient temperature range of 15°C to 32°C, the chiller delivers consistent performance throughout the year.
The Buchi B-740/14 recirculating chiller is an essential tool for laboratories seeking an efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective cooling solution. Its high cooling capacity, wide temperature range, and durable construction make it an ideal choice for various applications, from routine cooling tasks to more demanding processes requiring precise temperature regulation. The B-740/14 not only conserves resources but also supports the consistent and safe operation of laboratory equipment, helping scientists and technicians achieve their experimental goals with confidence.
