Peter Huber CC-508 Refrigerated Heating Bath Circulator

The Peter Huber CC-508 is a premier air-cooled refrigerated heating bath circulator designed for laboratories requiring high-performance thermoregulation within a compact footprint. Offering a versatile temperature range of -55°C to 200°C and a robust 3.0 kW heating capacity, this unit is engineered to handle demanding cooling loads at low temperatures. Unlike its water-cooled counterpart, the CC-508 is air-cooled, making it an ideal "plug-and-play" solution for facilities without a dedicated cooling water circuit. Managed by the intuitive Pilot ONE controller, the CC-508 provides industry-leading stability and precision for reactor tempering, material testing, and pilot plant applications.

Key Features:

• Temp Range: -55°C to 200°C, suitable for deep refrigeration and high-heat applications.
• Heating Capacity: 3.0 kW for rapid temperature ramping and heavy-duty thermal compensation.
• Power Supply: 220-240V 1~ 50Hz (Standard single-phase connection).
• Cooling System: High-efficiency air cooling, allowing for flexible placement within the laboratory.
• Controller: Pilot ONE with 5.7" TFT touchscreen, featuring E-grade "Professional" for advanced programming.
• Performance: Exceptional cooling density at low temperatures to ensure precise control of exothermic reactions.
• Safety: Class III/FL (DIN 12876) rated for use with flammable fluids; features adjustable over-temperature and low-level protection.
• Connectivity: Standard interfaces include USB and Ethernet for remote operation and digital data logging.

This "Classic" series circulator features a high-grade stainless steel bath that allows for the direct immersion of samples or the connection of external applications via the pump ports. The CC-508 is particularly valued in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for its ability to maintain high flow rates and pressure, ensuring optimal heat transfer even when using high-viscosity thermal fluids at low temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What power infrastructure is required for the CC-508?
This model operates on a standard 220-240V 1~ 50Hz power supply. Ensure your laboratory circuit can support the 3.0 kW heating load plus the refrigeration compressor requirements.

2. What is the difference between the CC-508 and the CC-508w?
The CC-508 is air-cooled, meaning it uses ambient lab air to dissipate heat. The CC-508w is water-cooled and requires a cooling water connection but operates more quietly and does not add heat to the room.

3. Can I get this model with a natural refrigerant?
Yes. To meet environmental regulations or sustainability targets, the CC-508 is available with natural refrigerant options upon request.

4. What pump connections are standard?
This model typically features M16x1 male pump connections. If your application uses NPT or BSP pipe threads, you will need a Peter Huber thread adapter.

5. Is this unit suitable for external applications?
Yes. The powerful pressure/suction pump is specifically designed to circulate thermal fluid to external jackets, such as those found on glass reactors.
