Peter Huber CC-315B Heating Bath Circulator

The Peter Huber CC-315B (Order No. 2007.0001.01) is a high-capacity heating bath circulator designed for professional thermoregulation within a temperature range of +28°C to +300°C. Featuring a large 15-liter stainless steel bath and a powerful 2.0 kW heating system, this "Compatible Control" model is engineered for the temperature control of larger objects placed directly in the bath as well as high-volume external applications. The unit is managed by the advanced Pilot ONE controller, which provides a high-resolution 5.7" touchscreen interface and the precision required for complex laboratory and industrial processes.

Key Features:

• Large Bath Capacity: 15-liter stainless steel bath allows for the thermoregulation of larger samples or substantial external systems.
• Pilot ONE Controller: Features a 5.7" multi-touch display, icon-driven navigation, and an integrated technical glossary for user-friendly operation.
• Advanced Pump System: Equipped with a continuously variable pressure and suction pump (VPC). An optional pressure sensor can be connected to protect external glassware from over-pressurization.
• Temperature Stability: Delivers exceptional stability of ±0.02 K (according to DIN 12876), ensuring consistent results for sensitive applications.
• Wide Working Range: Standard heating up to 300°C; the range can be extended down to -20°C using the integrated cooling coil and an external cooling source.
• Power Supply: Designed for 200-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz, making it compatible with high-output laboratory power grids.
• Safety Standards: Rated Safety Class III/FL, featuring adjustable over-temperature protection and low-level safety sensors.
• Connectivity: Standard Ethernet, USB, and RS232 interfaces allow for seamless data logging and integration into Lab 4.0 environments.

The CC-315B is the ideal choice for pilot plants, large-scale materials testing, and chemical reactors where a large thermal reservoir is necessary to maintain stability. Its robust stainless steel construction and adaptive control logic ensure long-term reliability even under heavy workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use the CC-315B for sub-ambient cooling?
Yes. The unit includes an integrated cooling coil. By connecting it to an external cooling source, such as a Huber Minichiller or tap water, you can achieve temperatures as low as -20°C.

2. How does the Pilot ONE protect my glass equipment?
By utilizing the "VPC" (Variable Pressure Control) feature, the pump speed is adjustable. When used with an optional pressure sensor, the system can automatically limit the maximum pressure to prevent stress or breakage of fragile glassware.

3. What is the benefit of the larger 15L bath volume?
A larger bath volume provides higher thermal inertia, meaning the system is more resistant to temperature fluctuations when large or cold samples are introduced into the bath.

4. Is it possible to upgrade the software features later?
Yes. The Pilot ONE is "E-grade" compatible, allowing you to unlock advanced functions like cascade control or a 100-step programmer via an electronic activation key without hardware changes.

5. What thermal fluid is recommended for 300°C?
For operation at the maximum temperature of 300°C, we recommend high-stability silicone oils such as Huber P20.275.50 SilOil, which is specifically designed for high-heat applications.
