Rack Mount Chiller
The Rack Mount Chillers are a temperature control device mountable in a 19-inch rack. Rack mounting recovers desktop or floor space, permitting stacking of related devices and mobility, depending on the rack style. Recirculating fluid removes heat from the process source. The heat is then removed from the fluid by an air or water-cooled refrigeration circuit. Coolant temperature stability is ±0.1°C within a set temperature range of 10 to 35°C.

HECR, Rack Mounted Thermoelectric Chiller, Air Cooled
The HECR is a Thermoelectric (Peltier) unit, meaning it has no compressor, no refrigerant, and no vibration. It’s designed to slide directly into a standard 19-inch equipment rack. It’s commonly used by laboratory and research scientists who need to cool electron microscopes, spectrometers, or laser diodes which are sensitive to vibration. Furthermore, scientific or medical environments value the quiet operation of this device. Without compressor noise, the HECR is much quieter than industrial units.

HRR, Rack Mounted Thermo Chiller, Air Cooled, 230VAC
The HRR is designed for environments where floor space is limited and a centralized water cooling system is not available. This model is often used by professionals in the laser and optics industry who require precise temperature stability to maintain beam quality and frequency. This device is self-contained with coolant and refrigerant circuits, fan cooled heat exchanger, electronic controls, pump, tank and power supply.

HRR, Rack Mounted Thermo Chiller, Water Cooled, 230VAC
The HRR-W is often used in a high-precision industrial or laboratory setting where heat exhaust is a major concern. In ISO-rated environments, air-cooled units are often forbidden because their fans kick up dust and exhaust hot air into the room, ruining the climate control, while high-magnification tools like scanning electron microscopes or focused ion beams are incredibly sensitive to vibration and noise. Water-cooled chillers are generally more energy-efficient for round-the-clock operations and can provide higher cooling capacities while maintaining a compact rack footprint.

HRR, Rack Mounted Thermo Chiller, Air Cooled, 100/115VAC
The HRR is the most mobile version of the series. It is often purchased by professionals who value portability and ease of setup in a facility where specialized high-voltage wiring isn't available. It is used for cooling small spectrometers, DNA sequencers, tabletop electron microscopes, X-ray sensors, medical lasers, and ultrasound components. It can be powered by standard outlets without needing a transformer.
