Built for continuous laboratory use, this circulator offers the perfect balance of volume, visibility, and high-end control.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main benefit of the 18-liter bath in the CC-118A?
The large 18-liter capacity and the elongated 130 x 500 mm bath opening allow you to immerse multiple samples, large test tubes, or long experimental apparatus while maintaining full visibility through the polycarbonate walls.

2. Can I use the CC-118A for cooling applications?
While the standard heating range starts at 25°C, you can reach 20°C using an optional cooling coil with tap water. For lower temperatures (down to 15°C), the unit can be paired with an external Huber refrigeration unit.

3. How does the Pilot ONE controller handle data logging?
The Pilot ONE includes a built-in data logger. Process data can be recorded and exported via the integrated USB port to a flash drive or transmitted over a network using the Ethernet interface.

4. Is the pump powerful enough for external systems?
Yes, the CC-118A features a variable speed pressure and suction pump that provides up to 27 l/min of flow, making it ideal for maintaining precise temperatures in external jackets or open tanks.

5. Is it safe to use flammable liquids in this polycarbonate bath?
Yes, the unit meets Safety Class III (FL) standards, meaning it is equipped with adjustable overtemperature protection and a low-level sensor designed for the safe use of flammable bath fluids.
