How do I choose between Breeze and Storm? What are the differences?

Breeze and Storm are both used in place of a hotplate to provide heating and cooling. Their different designs mean differences in performance and differences in the applications they are optimised for.

Breeze
  • No internal insulation
  • Smaller size
  • Narrower process temperature range of -30°C to +165°C
  • Faster temperature changes
  • Recommended for applications such as crystallisation studies
  • Suitable for use with Carousel 6 Plus and Tornado, or Heat-On with an overhead stirrer
  • M16 (male) fittings for circulator (thermoregulator) hoses.  (Adapters are available for use with different size hoses.)
Storm
  • More advanced internal design, with insulation
  • Larger, with surface contour specially designed to fit the Carousel 6 Plus base
  • Wider process temperature range of -65°C to +200°C
  • Recommended for steady state reactions that require stable temperatures for extended periods
  • Designed for use with Carouse 6 Plus and Tornado
  • M24 (male) fittings for circulator (thermoregulator) hoses. (Adapters are available for use with different size hoses.)
