heater circulator
A heater circulator is a laboratory device that combines an open or closed bath with a heating system to maintain a specific temperature range. It is used for a wide range of applications, including heating internally or externally. Heater circulators are ideal for experiments that require precise and consistent temperature control. They are equipped with a liquid reservoir, a heating system, and a temperature control mechanism. Some models are designed to work in conjunction with a separate liquid bath or water jacket, while others combine both a circulator and an open bath basin/water jacket in one.
Our Heater Circulator products are designed to provide consistent and precise temperature control for liquid baths used in dissolution testing and other experiments. Our extensive portfolio offers a wide range of temperature capabilities, and digital temperature control for ease of use and customization. Whether you need an open or closed bath basin, our Heater Circulator solutions have got you covered.

FAQ
What is a heated circulator?
A heated circulator is a laboratory equipment used to precisely control the temperature of fluids. It is often used in experiments that require consistent and precise temperature control, such as dissolution testing. The circulator typically features a liquid reservoir, a heating system, and a temperature control mechanism. The temperature range of a heated circulator can be as wide as -95°C to 300°C. It is commonly used in life science research, drug discovery, material testing, wafer production, and wet chemistry.
What is the purpose of a heater circulator?
The purpose of a heater circulator is to provide a consistent and precise temperature control for experiments that require heating internally or externally. These circulators feature a liquid reservoir and a heating system, along with a temperature control mechanism. They are ideal for maintaining a few temperature set points over a long period of time and are commonly used in laboratories for experiments that involve liquid baths. Heating circulators come in open or closed baths and offer a wide temperature range from –90 to 300°C and heat load removal of up to 1000 watts.
How does a heater circulator work?
A heater circulator works by heating a fluid and then circulating it through the system. The heating element, often an electric coil or a heating mantle, provides controlled heat to the fluid. The pump, typically a magnetic or centrifugal pump, circulates the fluid through tubes or a bath, ensuring even temperature distribution. The fluid absorbs heat from the heating element and transfers it to the desired location, such as a reaction vessel or a temperature-controlled chamber. Temperature sensors and controllers are used to monitor and maintain the desired temperature within a specified range. The combination of heating and circulation allows for precise temperature control and uniform heating throughout the system.
What types of fluids can be used with a heater circulator?
Heater circulators can be used with a variety of fluids depending on the specific application requirements. Commonly used fluids include water, oils, and silicone-based fluids. Water is a popular choice due to its availability, low cost, and good heat transfer properties. Oils, such as mineral oil or silicone oil, are often used when higher temperature ranges or better heat stability are required. Silicone-based fluids are suitable for applications that involve low temperatures or require inertness. It is important to select a fluid that is compatible with the materials of construction in the heater circulator and consider the desired temperature range, heat transfer properties, and safety considerations when choosing the appropriate fluid.
Can a heater circulator be used for cooling applications?
Yes, certain models of heater circulators can also be used for cooling applications. These units are often referred to as heating and cooling circulators or temperature control systems. They feature both heating and cooling capabilities, allowing for precise temperature control within a wide range. The cooling function is achieved through a refrigeration system that circulates a coolant, such as water or refrigerant, through the system. This enables the user to cool down a process, vessel, or chamber to the desired temperature. Heating and cooling circulators are commonly used in applications that require rapid temperature changes or control over a broad temperature range, such as thermal cycling, material testing, or biological sample preservation.
