UC160-190 Thermoelectric Recirculating Chillers

Cooling Capacity 160 to 190 W @+20 °C; Process Fluid Flow Rate 0.35 lpm @ 14 psig; 1/8" Female Valved CPC Fittings; Magnetically-coupled Gear Pump; Wetted Materials: Aluminium (or Copper) & Polymers

The UC160-190 Thermoelectric Recirculating Chiller by Solid State Cooling Systems redefines compact precision cooling for laboratory and industrial applications. Designed for environments where space, reliability, and thermal stability are critical, this advanced chiller delivers 160 to 190 watts of cooling capacity in an ultra-compact footprint. With precise temperature control ranging from 2°C to 45°C, it ensures consistent performance for sensitive instruments and OEM systems.

Unlike conventional compressor-based chillers, the UC160-190 leverages solid-state thermoelectric technology, eliminating the need for refrigerants. Its small form factor—just 7.5 inches (19.1 cm) x 5 inches (12.7 cm) x 7 inches (17.8 cm)—and lightweight build (under 8 lbs / 3.6 kg) make it ideal for integration into tight spaces without compromising cooling performance. With ±0.1°C temperature stability and rapid response to thermal loads, it supports critical applications with unmatched reliability.
