Peter Huber KISS K15 Refrigerated Heating Bath Circulator

The Peter Huber KISS K15 is an economical and reliable refrigerated heating bath combination designed for direct thermoregulation within a temperature range of -20°C to +200°C. By pairing a robust immersion circulator with a high-quality 15-liter insulated stainless steel bath, the K15 provides a cost-effective solution for essential laboratory cooling and heating tasks. This unit features a 2.0 kW heating capacity and utilizes the user-friendly KISS controller, which focuses on simplicity and essential functionality without compromising on safety. To ensure global versatility, this model supports a power supply of 220-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz. In line with modern ecological standards, the refrigeration system is charged with natural refrigerants as standard.

Key Features:

• Temp Range: -20°C to +200°C, offering broad versatility for laboratory sample tempering.
• Heating Capacity: 2.0 kW for steady heat-up and effective temperature maintenance.
• Power Supply: 220-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz (Compatible with a wide range of international electrical grids).
• Controller: KISS controller featuring a large, bright OLED display and simple 3-button operation.
• Safety: Class III/FL (DIN 12876) rated for use with flammable fluids; includes over-temperature and low-level protection.
• Eco-Friendly: Refrigeration bath operates with natural refrigerants (R290) to minimize environmental footprint.
• Stability: Reliable temperature stability of 0.05K, ideal for standard laboratory procedures.
• Bath Volume: 15-liter insulated stainless steel bath, providing ample space for direct immersion of samples.

The KISS K15 is the ideal choice for researchers who require a straightforward, "set-and-forget" temperature control system. While it excels at direct immersion tasks within the bath, the integrated pressure pump ensures efficient circulation. The stainless steel construction of the bath ensures durability and resistance to a wide variety of thermal fluids, making it a staple for general-purpose laboratory chemistry and biology.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What power infrastructure is required for the KISS K15?
This model is designed for a 220-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz power supply. It is versatile enough to run on both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it suitable for various regions globally.

2. What is the main difference between the KISS and CC models?
The KISS model is designed for simplicity and value, offering 0.05K stability and a basic digital interface. The CC (Compatible Control) models feature the Pilot ONE touchscreen controller with 0.02K stability and advanced programming.

3. Can I use this for an external application?
Yes. While optimized for bath work, you can fit an optional pump adapter (part #19607) to connect the KISS K15 to an external closed application like a small jacketed vessel.

4. Are natural refrigerants better for the lab?
Natural refrigerants like R290 used in this unit have near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), ensuring your lab stays compliant with tightening environmental regulations.

5. How do I clean the bath?
The stainless steel bath can be easily cleaned with standard laboratory detergents. Always ensure the unit is unplugged and the thermal fluid has cooled before draining via the drain port.
