TCU-1

Heated Circulator Bath

BDC Labs' TCU-1 - Heated Circulator Bath

BDC Laboratories’ TCU-1 heated circulator bath establishes stable and reliable thermal control for any fluid test environment. This fully saline-compatible system has the unique ability to monitor and control either the fluid temperature within its bath or a remotely measured temperature in the associated test chamber.

Designed for continual operation and heating of an adjacent fluid filled test chamber through an integrated circulation pump, the TCU-1 heated circulator bath can be used for numerous applications that require reliable and tight thermal stability.

Common Applications:

  • Fluid baths for fatigue test systems
  • Heat exchangers for bioreactors
  • Controlling fluid temperature in simulated use systems and universal tester fluid baths
