Peter Huber CC-202C Heating Circulator Bath

The Peter Huber CC-202C (Order No. 2003.0001.01) is a high-precision heating circulator that exemplifies the "good things come in small packages" philosophy. Designed for the thermoregulation of small external applications and internal samples, this unit features a 2-liter stainless steel bath and a powerful 2.0 kW heater. Managed by the sophisticated Pilot ONE controller, the CC-202C delivers industry-leading temperature stability of ±0.02 K. Its compact footprint and low bath volume allow for exceptionally rapid heating and cooling cycles, making it an ideal choice for research laboratories where efficiency and precision are paramount.

Key Features:

• Professional Control: The Pilot ONE controller features a high-resolution 5.7" multi-touch display, intuitive icon-driven navigation, and "Plug & Play" technology.
• Advanced Pump Technology: Equipped with a speed-regulated, continuously variable pressure and suction pump (VPC) to ensure optimal flow and heat exchange.
• Power Supply: Optimized for global laboratory standards with a 200-240V 1~/2~ 50/60Hz electrical requirement.
• Integrated Cooling Coil: Comes standard with a cooling coil, allowing the temperature range to be extended down to -30°C when connected to an external cooling source.
• Wide Temperature Window: Standard heating from +45°C to +200°C with high-precision stability according to DIN 12876.
• Safety and Reliability: Classified as Safety Class III/FL for use with flammable liquids; features adjustable over-temperature and low-level protection.
• Connectivity: Standard digital interfaces include Ethernet, USB (Host and Device), and RS232 for comprehensive data logging and automation.
• Robust Construction: High-quality stainless steel bath and housing ensure durability and excellent chemical resistance in demanding environments.

The CC-202C belongs to Huber’s "Compatible Control" series, allowing for seamless electronic upgrades via E-grade activation keys. Whether you are performing biotechnology assays, sensor calibrations, or materials testing, this unit provides the professional-grade performance required for reproducible scientific results.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the CC-202C reach -30°C?
The unit is equipped with a cooling coil as standard. By connecting this coil to tap water, you can reach temperatures near +20°C. For cryogenic depths down to -30°C, an external refrigerator or immersion cooler is required.

2. Can I use this unit to control the temperature of a small glass reactor?
Yes. The rear-mounted M16x1 pump connections and the variable-speed pump make it perfect for jacketed glass reactors. You can even add an optional pressure sensor to protect the glassware from over-pressurization.

3. What is the benefit of the Pilot ONE over the KISS model?
The Pilot ONE offers superior temperature constancy (±0.02 K vs ±0.05 K), a much larger color touchscreen interface, and a variable-speed pump, whereas the KISS model is a basic version with a fixed-speed pump.

4. How much fluid is required to operate the CC-202C?
The bath volume is 2 liters. Using a low-volume circulator like this is highly energy-efficient and allows for much faster temperature transitions compared to larger units.

5. Is the unit suitable for flammable thermal fluids?
Yes, it is rated Safety Class III/FL, making it safe for use with flammable silicone oils (SilOils) within the specified temperature range.
