Peter Huber KISS 108A Circulation Thermostat with Polycarbonate Bath, Temperature Range: 25 To 100°C

The Peter Huber KISS 108A is a compact and reliable heating circulation thermostat designed for laboratory tasks requiring precise thermal control and visual access. Featuring an 8-liter transparent polycarbonate bath, this unit allows users to clearly monitor samples or experimental setups during the heating process. It is equipped with the KISS (Keeping Innovation Safe & Simple) controller, which features a large-format OLED display, intuitive menu navigation, and simple 3-button operation. With a robust 2.0 kW heating system and a high-performance pressure/suction pump, the KISS 108A is an excellent solution for both internal immersion and the temperature control of external closed applications. The unit is designed for consistent operation with a 230V, 50/60Hz power supply.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the benefits of the polycarbonate bath on the KISS 108A?
The polycarbonate material is highly transparent and heat-resistant up to 100°C, allowing for complete visual monitoring of samples inside the bath without interrupting the process.

2. Can I use this thermostat for external applications?
Yes, the KISS 108A is equipped with a pump adapter and M16x1 connections, making it suitable for the temperature control of external, closed laboratory equipment.

3. How does the KISS controller differ from the Pilot ONE?
The KISS controller is designed for ease of use with a simple 3-button interface and OLED display, whereas the Pilot ONE is a more advanced multi-touch touchscreen controller with expanded data logging and graphical functions.

4. Can the temperature range be extended below 25°C?
While the standard heating range starts at 25°C, an optional cooling coil can be connected to tap water to bring the working temperature down to approximately 20°C.

5. Is this model safe to use with oil-based thermofluids?
Yes, as a Safety Class III (FL) unit, it is equipped with adjustable overtemperature protection and a low-level sensor, making it safe for use with flammable liquids like synthetic oils.
