Labplant Refrigerated Immersion Probes
LabPlant UK refrigerated immersion probes are extremely simple to operate. The probe is immersed in a suitable liquid, (usually Methanol but others are available), in a Dewar vessel or other well insulated liquid container. The refrigeration system is then switched on.
When using versions with PID controllers, the PT100 sensor is also immersed and the controller set to the required temperature. With all units best temperature stability is achieved if the liquid is stirred (highly recommended).
Labplant offer two versions of refrigerated immersion probe, each unit is available as controlled or uncontrolled.
RP60 & RP100
Basic units with continuous cooling requiring external temperature control.
RP60CD & RP100CD
Controlled units with Digital PID controller and temperature probe; they control temperatures by adjusting the flow of refrigerant to the cooling probe using a solenoid valve.
Both units are available with the choice of probes. Standard flexible, Long flexible & Short rigid.
Other custom manufactured probes are available upon request.
