Product Overview
The 2000W Stainless Steel High Precision Thermal Tank stands as a flagship laboratory instrument engineered to redefine precise temperature control in industrial R&D, quality assurance, and academic research. Crafted with medical-grade 316L stainless steel—a material renowned for its superior resistance to chloride-induced corrosion and high-temperature oxidation—this tank excels in environments where exposure to chemicals, solvents, or high humidity is common. The integration of a 2000W high-efficiency heating element ensures not only rapid heat-up (reaching 300°C from ambient in under 45 minutes) but also sustained ±0.1°C temperature accuracy, a critical parameter for experiments where even minor thermal fluctuations can compromise results.
Beyond performance, compliance is a cornerstone of this design. Bearing the CE marking, it adheres to stringent EU standards including EN 61010-1:2010 for electrical safety and EN 61326-1:2013 for electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring seamless operation alongside other laboratory equipment without interference. Its space-efficient footprint (600×450×500mm) belies its robust functionality, featuring an advanced PID control system with adaptive algorithms that minimize overshoot and maintain steady-state conditions across the entire ambient to 300°C temperature range.
Features
Premium Construction
316L Stainless Steel Body: Exhibits 200% higher corrosion resistance than 304 stainless steel, making it ideal for handling saline solutions, organic solvents, and mild acids commonly used in material testing .
Double-Walled Insulation: Comprises a 50mm layer of high-density mineral wool sandwiched between stainless steel panels, reducing heat loss by up to 60% and keeping external surfaces cool to the touch .
Explosion-Proof Design: Integrates dual over-temperature sensors (one in the heating element, one in the chamber) and a failsafe relay that cuts power if temperatures exceed set limits by 10°C, preventing thermal runaway .
Precision Temperature Control
2000W Heating Power: Distributes heat via a serpentine heating coil embedded in the tank base, ensuring uniform heat transfer with a temperature gradient of less than 0.3°C across the entire chamber volume .
±0.1°C Accuracy: Leverages a PT100 platinum resistance sensor with 0.01°C resolution, paired with a 32-bit microprocessor that adjusts heating output 100 times per second for real-time stability .
Digital Interface: Features a backlit LCD display with touch controls for setting temperature (0.1°C increments), timer (1–9999 minutes), and alarm thresholds, with built-in memory for 10 frequently used profiles .
Safety and Compliance
CE Certification: Validated through third-party testing for LVD (Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU) and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU) .
Leak-Proof Seals: Utilizes food-grade silicone gaskets with a Shore A hardness of 60, ensuring a tight seal even after 10,000+ opening/closing cycles .
Ergonomic Handles: Reinforced nylon handles with rubberized grips, rated to support the full tank weight (35kg when filled to capacity) for safe relocation .

FAQ
Q: What is the maximum working volume of the tank?
A: Standard models offer a 30L working volume, with custom configurations available up to 100L to accommodate larger samples or multiple test specimens .
Q: Can the tank operate continuously without supervision?
A: Yes, it features a 24/7 continuous operation mode with built-in timer and automatic shutdown, complemented by audible and visual alarms for temperature deviations or power interruptions .
Q: How does the insulation perform at low temperatures?
A: While optimized for high-temperature operation, the double-walled insulation maintains stable temperatures even when set to ambient or slightly below (minimum 5°C above room temperature) .
Q: Is there a warranty for the heating element?
A: The 2000W heating element is covered under a 3-year warranty—longer than industry standard—to ensure long-term reliability in high-usage environments .
Q: Can the tank be used with magnetic stirrers or immersion probes?
A: Yes, the lid features a 50mm diameter port for inserting stirrers, sensors, or sampling probes without disrupting the thermal environment .
