Ratek RC1 Immersion Coil Cooler and RC4 Re-Circulating Cooler Descriptions

Ratek RC1: Immersion Coil Cooler Description:

With 580 Watts of cooling power, the RC1 can be used in both large and small tanks. It is capable of cooling 8 litres of water at a rate of approximately 1°C per minute. When paired with an insulated tank, the RC1 serves as an excellent replacement for ice baths.

All Ratek heated water baths, custom tanks, and IT2400 insulated tanks can be custom-made to accommodate the dip-coil without reducing usable space in the bath. This feature makes the RC1 ideal for cold stability testing, where maximizing the number of containers processed at one time is essential.

By integrating the RC1 with an immersion circulator and a re-circulation tank, precise temperature-controlled water circulation can be achieved. This makes it perfect for cooling condensers, heating mantles, and other water-jacketed devices. The system can be used for both heating and cooling applications without requiring additional equipment, making it a versatile setup for any laboratory. For this application, the TH8000 immersion circulator and IT2400 bath with IT2400BP externally ported bridge are highly recommended. The RC1 has a wide operating temperature range and is extremely reliable. It has the ability to cool any waterbath or vessel and has a quiet operation mode.

Applications for RC1 Immersion Coil Cooler

This versatile cooling system accommodates various applications requiring immersion cooling coils, particularly fermentation processes. The unit operates independently to reduce liquid and fluid temperatures below ambient conditions, or can be integrated with thermoregulatory equipment to maintain precise sub-ambient temperatures for controlled cooling applications.

Ratek RC4: Re-circulating Cooler with Tank Description:

The RC4 Refrigerated water bath when used with an optional immersion heater circulator will provide accurate temperature controlled water at or below ambient temperatures. The water bath has a capacity of approximately 12 litres. A built in heavy duty recirculating pump provides closed loop circulation at the rate of 7 litres per minute, and can offer a reliable and preferable alternative to the use of mains water for cooling Heat exchangers, Electrophoresis baths, Condensers, etc.

To avoid accidental damage to the heat exchanger components the RC4 cooling is set to turn of at 4°c, however it can be factory set to have a minimum temperature of -10°C if required. Suitable additives would need to be added to the water for the -10°c version to avoid damage to the system.

Polished grade 304 stainless steel is used for the tank, and surround, and the main case is constructed from a heavy duty plastic. Heat exchanger components are manufactured from copper. Only environmentally friendly R134a refrigerant is used in Ratek coolers. The RC4 operation mode is quiet and extremely reliable.

Applications for RC4 Re-circulating Cooler

The RC4 provides precision-controlled external circulation for applications requiring constant water temperature through external systems such as heat exchangers or condenser coils. When combined with Ratek's range of immersion circulators, the RC4 creates an ideal solution for distillation and extraction systems, cooling laboratory apparatus, and various industrial applications.

The system offers flexible configuration from basic digital temperature control to advanced temperature ramping and profiling, enabling automated temperature changes over time for complex experimental protocols and precise thermal control requirements.
