Reduce water consumption with HUBER Minichillers

On the 5th April 2012, Anglian water announced that a temporary hosepipe ban would come into force. With water shortage being a concern throughout the UK, measures to reduce water consumption are the forefront of all facility managers minds. Water in a laboratory often appears to the user to have an unseen cost but the ever rising prices and environmental impact of waste water, means we must look for alternative ways of cooling applications in the laboratory.

The compact Minichiller from HUBER reduces water consumption to zero, offering a low cost, chilled water supply with environmentally friendly refrigeration for a variety of laboratory applications. It is designed as a space saving tower and with a footprint of just 225 x 360mm the Huber Minichiller takes up less bench space than many laptops. With a temperature range of -20 to +40°C and cooling capacity of 300 watts at 15°C, Minichillers are ideal for cooling reaction blocks, vapour traps, vacuum pump condensers, rotary evaporators or heat exchangers, supplying predictable and correct pressure, flow and temperature to applications resulting in tangible process efficiencies. Because the Minichiller's internal volume is only 2 litres, it eliminates the risk of flooding in the laboratory. This allows the process to be run unattended further increasing efficiency.

The Minichiller features an easy to use Microprocessor control with a large temperature display, an RS232 interface. The Minichiller is also available with 1kW heating power and extended temperature range from -20°C to 100°C. Minichillers are available as both water and air-cooled units and with standard or advanced functionality. All units are CFC and H-CFC free and use natural refrigerants.

A calculation, based on water consumption, shows that in a working week (8-hours a day, 5 days a week), the Minichiller saves approximately 48,000 litres of water, and as the Minichiller is low in cost, it offers a fast return on investment which can be measured in months.

Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau GmbH was founded in 1968 by Peter Huber as one of the first enterprises in refrigeration. From 1984 it has been owned by the family and employs around 210 people, of which, 7 are refrigeration master craftsmen. More than 110,000 Huber temperature control units operate worldwide, in engineering, laboratory and technology.

Since the founding of the company, Huber has made its mark in the temperature control market for innovation. The introduction of Unistat Technology in 1989 has revolutionised temperature control. To this day, Unistats set the tone for highly dynamic temperature control processes. As a result, in 2011, Huber was again awarded the TOP 100 certificate for being one of the 100 most innovative middle sized companies in Germany for the third consecutive year.
