Peter Huber CC-K6 Refrigerated Heating Bath

The Peter Huber CC-K6 is a compact and high-performance refrigerated heating bath circulator designed for professional thermoregulation within a temperature range of -25°C to +200°C. By combining a high-quality insulated stainless steel cooling bath with the advanced CC-E immersion circulator, the CC-K6 offers a versatile solution for both internal bath applications and external temperature control. Managed by the state-of-the-art Pilot ONE controller, this unit provides exceptional temperature stability of ±0.02 K, making it an essential tool for precise laboratory tasks such as sample preparation, materials testing, and quality control.

Key Features:

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -25°C up to +200°C, catering to a broad spectrum of heating and cooling requirements.
• Pilot ONE Controller: Features a 5.7" TFT color touchscreen with intuitive menu navigation, "Plug & Play" technology, and an integrated technical glossary.
• Variable Pump Technology: Equipped with a speed-regulated pressure and suction pump (VPC) that ensures optimal circulation and can be adjusted to protect fragile external glassware.
• Eco-Friendly Cooling: Utilizes natural refrigerants (R290) as standard, offering an environmentally friendly alternative for laboratory cooling.
• Power Supply: Designed for international compatibility with a 208-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz power requirement.
• Precision Stability: Delivers industry-leading stability of ±0.02 K (according to DIN 12876), ensuring highly reproducible results.
• Compact and Robust: The 4.5-liter stainless steel bath is housed in a space-saving chassis, ideal for labs where bench space is at a premium.
• Advanced Connectivity: Standard digital interfaces include Ethernet, USB (Host and Device), and RS232 for comprehensive data transmission and remote operation.

The CC-K6 is part of Huber’s "Compatible Control" series, allowing for easy functional expansions via E-grade activation keys. Its rear-mounted M16x1 pump connections facilitate seamless integration with external reactors and analytical instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use the CC-K6 for both open and closed external applications?
Yes. The unit is equipped with a powerful pressure/suction pump suitable for closed loops. For externally open applications, an optional level control system is required to maintain fluid balance.

2. How does the Pilot ONE improve process safety?
The Pilot ONE includes adjustable over-temperature and low-level protection (Safety Class III/FL). Additionally, the variable-speed pump allows you to limit pressure to prevent damage to delicate external components.

3. What is the benefit of the CC-K6 over the KISS K6 model?
The CC-K6 features the Pilot ONE controller, which offers superior stability (±0.02 K vs ±0.05 K), a large color touchscreen, and a variable-speed pump, whereas the KISS model has a fixed-speed pump and a simpler display.

4. Is the refrigeration system always active?
The CC-K6 features automatic adjustment of refrigeration capacity. The system engages the compressor only when needed based on your setpoint, which saves energy and reduces heat output in the lab.

5. What thermal fluid is recommended for the full -25°C to +200°C range?
For this broad range, we recommend Huber SilOil M40.165/220.10. Always verify that the fluid's flash point and viscosity are suitable for your specific operating temperatures.
