Overview
Why choose ThermoCube 300A?
- Reliable, Refrigerant-Free Thermoelectric Technology: With lifetimes exceeding 200,000 hours, the thermoelectric modules at the core of this chiller make for ultra-high intrinsic reliability.
- Compact Size: just 12" (30 cm) on a side.
- Precise Temperature Control: ThermoCube 300A's digital PID control holds to ±0.2 °C, even near ambient
- Optimized for Modest Heat Loads
- Versatile: For use with clean dry air (CDA), N2, argon or other inert gases
- Energy Efficient: ThermoCube's thermoelectric modules are powered by variable voltage power supply that provides minimum power required to control temperature at set point, so ThermoCube only draws as much power as needed (typically <200 W AC)
- Whisper-Quiet: as low as 49 dBA
- Worldwide Power Compatibility, Universal Input Standard
- Easy-to-Use controller for fixed temperature control or temperature cycling
- Air-Cooled: Does not require house or facility chilled water. Can operate in any standard room, laboratory or office.
