Temperature Bath (Calibrator)

06/13/2007 10:06 PM

Guys,

Is it wise to use a Temperature Bath from high temperature (750C) to low temp (0 to -30 C)?

Does the High temp to low temp change gives a "bad" reaction for the bath?

Or its just ok, because, "hey that's how it was supposed to work!", "hey, the bath has that function, so no it wont have "bad" reaction"?

Thanks

Hi,

I would use it in the way it was built for. See the specs and trust them. Or, if you cant, because it`s a sensible application (medical, life critical, security) verify them.

That's quite a temperature range! What fluid are you using that can span such a range? If this is an open environment, moisture will begin to condense into your bath when you drop below the dew point and, continue until you're above it. This could cause some "bumping" as you approach the boiling point. Also ... Azeotropes.

I am not familiar with a bath with that large of a temperature range. I have used the Fluidized bath, that uses a porus ceramic plate that allows air to pass thru and agitate a silica sand media that is being heated by a thermostatically controlled element.This is normally used for higher temps than can be achieved with liquids, but I am not aware of a very low temp version of this.Please enlighten me on what you are using for this purpose.

Thanks

I have a typo here, its 250C high to 0 to -30C low temp.

ISOCAL-6 range is 250 to -45C

I googled Isocal-6. This is a calibration device with six modes of operation to cover the span -45 to 250 C. Can't speak to reliability or, anything else for that matter. I'm not familiar with the manufacturer.
