Overview
The Titan CP-0320 is an integrated, water-cooled circulating chiller engineered for precise temperature control in laboratory and analytical instrumentation applications. It operates on a closed-loop refrigeration cycle using environmentally compliant R134a refrigerant and employs a hermetic compressor coupled with a copper-aluminum finned condenser for stable heat rejection. Designed for continuous-duty operation, the unit maintains setpoint temperatures within ±0.2 °C across its operational range of 5–32 °C—making it suitable for cooling spectrophotometers, rotary evaporators, ICP-OES/MS plasma sources, laser systems, and other heat-sensitive equipment requiring consistent thermal management. Its compact footprint and integrated reservoir-pump-refrigeration architecture eliminate external plumbing complexity while ensuring rapid system response and minimal thermal lag.
Key Features
- Integrated design with built-in 3-liter stainless-steel reservoir, centrifugal circulation pump, and refrigeration module—no external components required.
- Water-cooled condenser enables reliable performance in ambient environments up to 35 °C, reducing dependency on air-conditioned lab spaces.
- Digital PID temperature controller with high-resolution LCD interface supports programmable ramp-soak profiles and real-time monitoring of bath temperature, flow status, and system faults.
- Circulation pump delivers a steady flow of 12 L/min at 0.2 bar pressure, compatible with standard 10–16 mm ID tubing and typical instrument inlet/outlet fittings.
- Refrigeration system rated at 400 W cooling capacity at 20 °C ambient, optimized for low-noise (<58 dB(A)) and energy-efficient operation under continuous load.
- Over-temperature, low-flow, and refrigerant pressure fault protection ensure safe, unattended operation over extended periods.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The CP-0320 is compatible with aqueous and water-glycol (up to 30% v/v) coolants, supporting corrosion-resistant connections for integration with OEM instruments from Thermo Fisher, Agilent, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, and others. All electrical components comply with IEC 61010-1:2010 for laboratory equipment safety. The unit meets CE marking requirements and conforms to EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. While not certified for hazardous locations, its construction adheres to GLP-aligned operational practices—including traceable calibration records, user-accessible service logs, and stable thermal output suitable for regulated QC/QA workflows where temperature consistency impacts measurement repeatability (e.g., ASTM E29–23, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Annex A.3).
Software & Data Management
The CP-0320 operates as a standalone instrument with no proprietary software dependency. Temperature setpoints, runtime hours, and alarm history are stored locally in non-volatile memory and accessible via front-panel navigation. Optional RS485 Modbus RTU interface (available upon request) enables integration into centralized building management or LIMS environments for remote monitoring and audit-trail generation. When deployed in FDA-regulated laboratories, users may configure external data loggers compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 to capture timestamped temperature and flow data—supporting electronic record integrity during method validation or equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ).
Applications
- Cooling of analytical instruments including HPLC column ovens, GC detectors, and mass spectrometer ion sources requiring stable thermal environments.
- Temperature stabilization of laser diodes and optical benches in spectroscopy and metrology labs.
- Heat removal from vacuum pumps, power supplies, and electrophoresis apparatus during prolonged operation.
- Support of controlled-rate crystallization studies and reaction calorimetry where bath temperature drift must remain below ±0.3 °C over 24-hour intervals.
- Use as a secondary coolant loop in multi-instrument facilities—feeding chilled water to multiple devices via manifold distribution.
FAQ
What coolant fluids are recommended for use with the CP-0320?
Deionized water is optimal for maximum heat transfer and minimal scaling. For sub-10 °C operation or freeze protection, a mixture of deionized water and USP-grade propylene glycol (≤30% v/v) is approved. Ethylene glycol and organic solvents are not recommended.
Can the CP-0320 be used in a cleanroom environment?
Yes—the unit produces no volatile emissions, features sealed refrigeration circuitry, and operates at sound pressure levels below 58 dB(A), meeting ISO Class 7 cleanroom noise guidelines when installed outside the classified space with remote tubing.
Is the temperature stability specification valid across the full 5–32 °C range?
Yes, ±0.2 °C stability is verified per ISO 17025-accredited testing at 10 °C, 20 °C, and 30 °C setpoints under nominal flow conditions (12 L/min, 2 m head).
Does the chiller support external temperature feedback control?
Not natively—but the optional RS485 interface allows third-party controllers to read process temperature and adjust setpoint dynamically via Modbus register mapping.
What maintenance intervals are recommended?
Biannual inspection of condenser fins and reservoir cleanliness; annual verification of refrigerant charge and PID calibration using NIST-traceable reference thermometers.
