Further Integral XT process thermostats from Lauda
8 Jul 2008
The Lauda Integral XT process thermostats received their market launch in 2006 and since that date have established themselves firmly among users
The product line stands for high-performance and uncompromising quality.
With their excellent heating, cooling and pump capacities, Lauda Integral XT process thermostats have created a new dimension in process technology thermostatting.
The basic principle consists of a circulation thermostat with very small internal volumes and a non-perfused expansion vessel.
Until now, the process thermostats were limited to a minimum temperature of -50C.
Lauda exhibited a new piece of equipment at Analytica.
Long-awaited by customers, a cascade system for external applications down to -90C will be available from the end of 2008.
The Lauda Integral XT 1590 W process thermostat will soon be here.
Once this piece of equipment is on the market, other process thermostats with capacities as low as -90C will follow with a range of capacities.
The Integral XT 1590 W is a water-cooled process thermostat with a cooling capacity of 15kW (at 20C).
This type of design means that the ambient air is hardly heated as process heat is removed via the cooling water.
This is a great advantage particularly in environments closely reproducing production conditions, for example in mini or pilot plant where space is very limited.
Water-cooled Lauda Integral XT models are ideal even in air-conditioned rooms as they impose no additional load on the air-conditioning equipment.
The XT 1590 W process thermostat is particularly distinguished by fist class cooling capacities even at low temperatures.
The working temperature range lies between -90 and 200C with a temperature stability of +/-0.03 (at -10C).
The heating capacity is 5.3kW and the powerful pump, which is equipped with a speed controller, delivers a pump flow rate of 45l/min and a maximum pressure of 2.9bar.
Leaking problems are avoided by the magnetic coupling of the pump and the electric motor.
All the features and advantages which distinguished the earlier Integral XT process thermostats are available in these low temperature models.
The standard command console provides a graphic LCD display for simple, intuitive operation; a range of interfaces for plug-in modules ensure flexible operation.
The thermostating of exothermic and endothermic chemical reactions taking place in glass, enamel or stainless steel reactors in the pilot or mini-plant is a typical application.
The thermostats are also used in the low temperature testing of materials and in automobile industry test-beds.
