Recirculating Chiller F-180

Compact and eco-conscious cooling.

The Recirculating Chiller F-180 delivers stable, reliable cooling using natural refrigerants with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3, reducing your lab’s environmental footprint. As an essential component, the Recirculating Chiller F-180 completes the R-80/R-180 system.

  • Cooling capacity at 15°C:600 W
  • Refrigerant:R290a (Propane)
  • Compressor:Speed controlled (energy saving)
Recirculating Chiller F-180

Compact by design

Developed for space-constrained laboratories, the Recirculating Chiller F-180 supports flexible bench configurations. For maximum space efficiency, it can be positioned under the bench, with the Vacuum Pump V-80/V-180 placed on top, while both units are controlled directly from the Rotavapor®.

Eco-conscious operation

The Recirculating Chiller F-180 is an eco-conscious solution for cooling applications. Its natural refrigerants help lower the environmental impact. The new speed-controlled compressor reduces energy consumption by up to 30% during typical operation, compared with a 500 W chiller such as BUCHI’s Recirculating Chiller F-305 (8-hour runtime: 50% standby / 50% cooling).

Scale without compromise

Designed to simplify daily operation, the Recirculating Chiller F-180 can be connected to up to two Rotavapor® systems (R-80 and/or R-180) while maintaining stable cooling performance. This configuration reduces costs and saves space, as the chiller can be controlled directly from one of the connected Rotavapors®.

Features

  • Conveniently set the cooling temperature directly on the central interface of the Rotavapor®.

  • The chiller automatically optimizes the cooling capacity based on need, minimizing energy consumption and noise level.

  • The use of low-GWP natural refrigerants, combined with a new speed-controlled compressor, helps reduce environmental impact and cuts energy consumption by up to 30% during typical operation.

  • Designed to be integrated with the Interface I-80/I-180, Vacuum Pump V-80/V-180, and Rotavapor® R-80/R-180, while maintaining stable cooling performance.
