Storm Heating/Cooling Work Station
Storm was designed as an add-on module for the Carousel 6 Plus and Tornado combination, creating a powerful ‘Parallel Process Reactor’. Storm heats and cools, and with the aid of an overhead stirrer, can mechanical stir up to 6 flasks (50 ml to 250 ml), making it the ideal process optimisation and development tool.
- When combined with a suitable circulator Storm is a powerful heating (+200 °C) and cooling (-65 °C) work station.
- Storm’s contoured top plate was design to specifically accept the Carousel 6 Plus and Tornado combination.
- Storm does not contain integral stirring (therefore stirring must be provided by a suitable overhead stirrer).
- Storm combines with the Carousel 6 plus, Tornado, overhead stirrer and a circulator to provide controlled heating/cooling and stirring for up to 6 flasks from 5 ml to 250 ml.
- Storm’s unique internal design maximises heat transfer from the circulator thermofluid, focusing the energy towards the top plate surface.
- The design minimises temperature variation across the contoured top plate.
- Storm is compatible with Huber, Julabo, Lauda and other leading brands of circulator (M24 connections required)
- Storm will accept thermofluid from -85 °C to +235 °C: providing a typical solution temperature within your reaction flask of -65 °C to +200 °C
- Storm’s insulated outer case reduces heat loss and prevents burns through contact with hot or cold thermofluid.
- An optional two-piece, removable PTFE insulating cover/plate provides increased energy efficiency when used with the Carousel 6, for improved heating and cooling.
- The insulating plate also helps reduce ice formation on exposed surfaces at sub-ambient temperatures.
- The 135 mm ø top plate will also accept Heat-On and similar reaction blocks
- Storm is ideal for temperature controlled, steady state reactions.
What is the difference between Storm and Breeze?
Storm
Features a sophisticated internal fluid path that combines with a high performance insulated case to maximise thermal transfer. These features create a temperature control module that has a wide operating range with excellent heat transfer, making Storm ideal for steady state reactions from -65 ˚C to +200 ˚C that require stable temperatures for extended periods, with minimal variation across the heated surface.
Breeze
Small bench-top footprint and no insulation; resulting in a narrower operating range of -30 °C to +165 °C. Yet because it is smaller, Breeze has a much faster response time to required changes in temperature. This makes Breeze more suitable for applications that require solution control such as crystallisation studies.
Key features
