KRÜSS PT31 Circulation Thermostat

Series: Circulation thermostats

Model: PT31

PT31 is a compact Peltier circulation thermostat covering 8–35 °C.

Application / measured object:

External circulation temperature control for Abbe refractometers and other small laboratory instruments.

Application area:

Product overview

PT31 uses a 100 ml reservoir and circulation pump to supply stable thermal fluid to refractometers, polarimeters and other external equipment, with solid-state Peltier heating and cooling and no compressor.

Advantages

Peltier control and liquid circulation

  • Peltier technology provides external circulation control from 8–35 °C with ±0.2 °C accuracy.
  • For non-flammable liquids such as water or water/glycol mixtures; DIN 12876-1 class I.
  • 100 ml filling volume; pump flow 20 l/h and pressure 20 mbar.
PT31 external circulating sample-temperature control.
PT31 external circulating sample-temperature control.

Operation and installation

  • Two-line LCD matrix display and selection keys with clearly structured functions.
  • Compact construction; 1.5 kg excluding mains adaptor and cable.
  • Ambient range 5–40 °C; control-range limits require a suitable ambient temperature.
