Product information "TCube mini 270 Thermoelectric Recirculating Chiller"
Cooling Capacity 270 W @+20°C; Process Fluid Flow Rate 0.75 lpm @10 psig; 1/8" Female Valved CPC Fittings; Magnetically-coupled Gear Pump; Wetted Materials Aluminium
The TCube Mini Thermoelectric Recirculating Chiller is the world’s smallest air-cooled thermoelectric chiller, delivering high-performance thermal control in an ultra-compact form factor. Engineered by Solid State Cooling Systems, this benchtop unit offers 270 watts of cooling capacity with ±0.1°C temperature stability, making it ideal for precision applications in laboratory, analytical, and OEM environments. Built on the legacy of the UC160-190 series, the TCube Mini provides 40–60% more cooling power in the same footprint, while maintaining quiet operation and long-term reliability.
Measuring just 7.5 x 5 x 9 inches (19 x 13 x 23 cm) and weighing under 10 lbs (4.5 kg), the TCube Mini is designed for seamless integration into space-constrained systems. It features a magnetically-coupled gear pump with a flow rate of approximately 750 ml/min at 10 psig, and a 180 ml screw-top fluid reservoir with level sensing. The unit supports a standard operating range of 2°C to 45°C and is compatible with Koolance (27% propylene glycol/water) or 27–50% ethylene glycol/water mixtures. With universal AC input and optional 27 VDC operation, it offers flexible deployment across global installations.
