Breeze & Storm

Breeze Heating/Cooling Work Station

Compact heating and cooling workstation for precise solution temperature control

The Breeze™ Heating/Cooling Work Station is an add-on module for the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station and the Tornado overhead stirring system. When connected to a circulator, it creates a parallel process reactor capable of rapid heating and cooling, making it suitable for applications that require accurate solution temperature control, such as crystallization studies.

Its compact internal volume allows the system to respond quickly to changes in thermofluid temperature, while the internal design promotes efficient heat transfer and minimizes temperature variation across the working surface.

Flexible temperature control

The Breeze Heating/Cooling Work Station enables rapid heating or cooling of individual or multiple reaction vessels with capacities up to 5 liters.

The system offers:

• Thermofluid operating range from -85 °C to +235 °C
• Solution temperature range from approximately -30 °C to +165 °C
• A 135 mm diameter top plate compatible with the Carousel 6 Plus, Tornado, Heat-On and other reaction blocks
• Mechanical stirring using the Tornado overhead stirrer or another compatible overhead stirrer

Easy integration with laboratory circulators

Breeze is equipped with M16 hose connections, making it compatible with all major circulator brands. Adapters are available when required. The anodized aluminum block heats and cools rapidly and can be easily detached from the base for convenient handling.

Stable and practical design

The workstation is supplied with a removable aluminum stand featuring integrated stainless steel support rods to provide a stable and secure setup. The stand also functions as a drip tray, collecting spills or condensation that may occur during operation at sub-ambient temperatures. The aluminum block can be easily unscrewed from the drip tray when needed.

Storm Heating/Cooling Work Station

Heating and cooling workstation for controlled steady-state reactions

The Storm™ Heating/Cooling Work Station is an add-on module designed for use with the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station and Tornado overhead stirring system. When combined with a suitable circulator and overhead stirrer, it creates a parallel process reactor that provides controlled heating, cooling and mechanical stirring for process optimization and development.

The system is capable of mechanically stirring up to six reaction flasks ranging from 5 to 250 mL. Because Storm does not include an integrated stirring mechanism, stirring is provided by a compatible overhead stirrer.

Precise temperature control

Storm is designed for temperature-controlled, steady-state reactions. Its unique internal construction maximizes heat transfer from the circulating thermofluid by directing thermal energy towards the contoured top plate while minimizing temperature variation across the surface. The workstation accepts thermofluid temperatures from -85 °C to +235 °C, providing typical solution temperatures within the reaction flasks from approximately -65 °C to +200 °C.

The system offers:

• Heating and cooling for up to six reaction flasks
• Typical flask capacities from 5 to 250 mL
• A contoured top plate designed specifically for the Carousel 6 Plus and Tornado combination
• A 135 mm diameter top plate that is also compatible with Heat-On and similar reaction blocks

Efficient and safe operation

The insulated outer case reduces heat loss while helping protect users from contact with hot or cold thermofluid. A fluoropolymer splash guard provides chemical resistance and reduces heat transfer between the heated block and the insulated housing.

An optional removable two-piece PTFE insulating plate further improves heating and cooling efficiency when used with the Carousel 6 Plus. It also helps reduce ice formation on exposed surfaces during sub-ambient operation.
