Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the primary use of the CT50 Single OLÉ?
It is primarily used for the highly efficient recovery of solvents in combination with rotary evaporators or other distillation applications to protect the vacuum source.

2. How fast does the unit reach its minimum temperature?
The CT50 is designed for speed, reaching -45°C in approximately 2.5 minutes and its minimum -50°C in about 4 minutes.

3. Can the evaporator probe be customized?
Yes, while the standard probe is high-grade stainless steel, Huber offers optional coatings such as PTFE or ceramic polymers for enhanced chemical resistance upon request.

4. Does this model require a water connection?
No, the CT50 Single OLÉ is an air-cooled unit, meaning it only requires ambient air for heat dissipation and no cooling water infrastructure.

5. Is the glass accessory set included?
The standard scope of supply includes the drip tray. Glass accessory sets for specific evaporator connections are available as optional extras.
