Advanced Temperature Control for Consistent ResultsThis oil bath employs a microprocessor-based PID controller, enabling precise digital regulation of temperatures up to 300C. The integrated over-temperature safety cut-off and fuse protection safeguards both the product and the workplace, ensuring operational safety during both short and extended heating cycles.
Flexible Stirring Mechanism for Diverse ApplicationsWith stirring speeds ranging from 100 to 1200 RPM, users can select between magnetic or mechanical stirrers depending on the model and experimental needs. This flexibility accommodates a variety of laboratory mixing requirements, delivering uniform heat and agitation for reliable results every time.
Robust Construction for Laboratory Safety and DurabilityConstructed from stainless steel for the inner chamber and finished with a powder-coated mild steel exterior, this oil bath offers longevity and chemical resistance. Glass wool insulation and a removable stainless steel lid with concentric rings help retain heat efficiently and facilitate user access during operation.
FAQ's of Oil Bath (High Temp.) with Stirrer:
Q: How does the PID microprocessor controller enhance temperature accuracy in the oil bath?
A: The microprocessor-based PID digital controller continuously monitors and adjusts the heating element, providing stable and precise temperature control with a typical accuracy of 1C, even at high temperatures up to 300C.
Q: What types of stirrers are available and how do they benefit laboratory processes?
A: Depending on the model, you can choose between magnetic or mechanical stirrers. Both types provide adjustable stirring speeds (100-1200 RPM), ensuring thorough mixing and uniform heat distribution, which is essential for reproducible results in laboratory protocols.
Q: When should I use a high-temperature oil bath instead of a water bath?
A: You should use a high-temperature oil bath for protocols requiring temperatures above the boiling point of water (100C). This equipment supports applications needing sustained temperatures up to 300C, making it suitable for processes in research, pharmaceuticals, and quality assurance testing.
Q: Where can the oil bath with stirrer be installed and operated safely?
A: The unit is designed for laboratory benchtop installation. For safe operation, it should be placed in a well-ventilated area, on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and connected to a 220/230V AC power supply. Ensure the control panel and outer surfaces remain accessible during use.
Q: What safety features are integrated into this oil bath?
A: Key safety features include a built-in over-temperature cut-off that deactivates the heater if temperatures exceed safe limits, fuse protection, glass wool insulation for heat containment, and a separate control panel to minimize user exposure to high temperatures.
Q: How do I adjust the stirring speed and monitor temperature during operation?
A: Stirring speed can be adjusted (100-1200 RPM) using the controls on the separate control box. The digital display shows real-time temperature readings and allows users to set desired temperatures using the PID controller for precise monitoring.
Q: What benefits does the double-walled construction provide?
A: The double-walled construction, filled with high-grade glass wool insulation, maximizes heat retention and minimizes energy consumption, ensuring stable operating temperatures and safe outer surface temperatures for user protection.
