Product Overview
The High Precision Constant Temperature Digital Thermal Tank represents the pinnacle of thermal control technology, engineered to meet the exacting demands of critical applications where ultra-stable temperatures are non-negotiable. Built for pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and advanced materials research, this tank combines a 2000W high-precision heating system with a state-of-the-art thermal management platform to achieve ±0.02°C temperature accuracy—a level of precision that outperforms conventional water baths by an order of magnitude.
Its interior, crafted from 316L stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish, resists chemical attack from aggressive solvents, acids, and bases, ensuring longevity in demanding lab environments. Certified with CE marking, it complies with EN 61010-1:2010 and EN 61326-1:2013, making it suitable for use in regulated industries requiring traceable, auditable results. The integration of a programmable PID controller and advanced circulation system ensures uniform temperature distribution, making it indispensable for experiments where thermal gradients can invalidate data.
Features
Precision
±0.02°C Stability: Achieved via a triple-sensor system (PT100 in chamber, heating element, and fluid return) and a 64-bit PID controller that adjusts heating output 500 times per second .
Temperature Range: Ambient +5°C to 150°C, with optional cooling jacket for extension to 0°C–150°C, supporting both heating and controlled cooling applications.
Circulation System: 8L/min magnetic drive pump ensures ±0.05°C temperature uniformity across the entire chamber, eliminating cold spots even with large or dense samples .
Intelligent Design
7-inch Touchscreen HMI: Capacitive touch interface with graphical temperature trends, real-time data display, and customizable test profiles (ramp, soak, cycle modes).
Data Management: 16GB internal storage for test logs, with Ethernet (TCP/IP) and USB 3.0 ports for exporting data to LIMS, Excel, or cloud storage platforms.
Programmable Cycles: Stores up to 100 custom profiles with stepwise temperature changes (e.g., 25°C → 50°C @ 2°C/min, hold 30min → 75°C @ 1°C/min) for complex thermal protocols .
Safety and Compliance
CE Certification: Compliant with EU LVD (2014/35/EU) and EMC (2014/30/EU) directives, with Class I laser safety certification for integrated temperature sensors .
Dual Overheat Protection: Independent hardware (thermal relay) and software (PLC-based) systems trigger shutdown if temperature deviates by >0.5°C from setpoint, with redundant alarms.
Chemical-Resistant Coating: Exterior finished with electrostatically applied epoxy powder coating (200μm thick) resistant to alcohols, solvents, and cleaning agents .
