Peter Huber CC-405w Refrigerated Heating Bath Circulator, Temperature Range: -40 to 200°C

The Peter Huber CC-405w is a high-performance, water-cooled refrigerated heating bath circulator designed for high-precision laboratory tasks. As part of the Compatible Control series, it features the industry-leading Pilot ONE multi-touch controller with a 5.7" TFT color display, providing smartphone-style navigation and a comprehensive technical glossary. The water-cooled design ensures consistent cooling performance and minimal heat dissipation into the laboratory, making it ideal for use in environments with high ambient temperatures or restricted airflow. With a wide temperature range of -40 to 200°C and a powerful variable-speed pressure/suction pump, the CC-405w excels at thermoregulating both internal bath samples and external applications like double-jacketed reactors and autoclaves. Its VPC (Variable Pressure Control) technology and robust stainless steel construction ensure the safe and reliable handling of delicate glass apparatus.

Its compact design includes carry handles for easy transport, while the thermoregulated cover plate prevents condensation during low-temperature tasks. Whether used in mini-plants, kilo-labs, or for petroleum testing, the CC-405w provides the precision and reliability required for demanding scientific applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the main advantage of the CC-405w's water-cooled system?
The water-cooled ("w") design allows the unit to dissipate heat into a water circuit rather than the room air. This is perfect for small labs or fume hoods where air-cooled units might cause the room temperature to rise significantly.

2. Can I use this circulator for high-precision calibration?
Yes, with an optional calibration insert, the CC-405w achieves a temperature stability of ±0.01 K, making it suitable for use as a high-precision calibration bath.

3. How does the VPC (Variable Pressure Control) protect my equipment?
VPC allows you to monitor and limit the maximum pump pressure through an optional sensor, which prevents overpressure that could break delicate external glass reactors or apparatus.

4. Is it possible to reduce the bath volume for faster response?
Yes, optional displacement inserts are available that reduce the bath volume by approximately half. This results in even faster heating and cooling rates and lower thermal fluid consumption.

5. Can the Pilot ONE controller be used remotely?
Absolutely. Thanks to its "Plug & Play" technology and data cable connectivity, the Pilot ONE can be detached and used as a remote control for the circulator.
