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’ that heats, cools and mechanically stirs up to 6 flasks (50 ml to 250 ml), making it the ideal process optimisation and development tool.
- Multiple or single stirred reactor, with controlled heating/cooling from 5 ml to 5 litres
- Thermofluid range of -85 °C to +235 °C: providing a solution temperature -65 °C to +200 °C
- 135 mm ø top plate integrates with the Carousel 6 Plus, Tornado, Heat-On & other reaction blocks
- Ideal for temperature controlled, steady state reactions
- Unique internal design maximises heat transfer from the thermofluid, focusing the energy towards the top plate surface. This design also minimises temperature variation across the contoured top plate
- The insulated outer case reduces heat loss and prevents contact with hot/cold thermofluid
- Optional two-piece, removable PTFE insulating plate provides increased energy efficiency, for improved heating and cooling; it also helps reduce ice formation on exposed surfaces at sub-ambient temperatures
- Mechanical stirring provided by Tornado or suitable overhead stirrer
- M24 hose connections, suitable for all popular brands of circulator
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
Unique internal design focuses the thermofluid towards the top plate surface
Fluoropolymer splash guard is chemical-resistant and prevents heat transfer from block to insulated outer case
Insulated outer case ensures efficient operation with minimum heat loss and maximum safety
M24 hose fittings (adapters available)
Optional PTFE insulating plate provides increased energy efficiency for improved heating and cooling
Contoured inner surface accepts Carousel 6 base precisely
Carousel 6 Plus locates on to the storm without tools
