The Lytron RC011 is a recirculating chiller engineered for precise temperature control in industrial, medical, and laboratory applications. Part of the Kodiak series, it delivers 1650 W (5.6 kBTU/Hr) cooling capacity at 20°C setpoint and 20°C ambient with 60 Hz input, maintaining ±0.1°C temperature stability. The unit operates across a coolant temperature range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)—extendable to 10°C (50°F) with freezing point depressant—and accepts ambient temperatures from 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F).

– Key Features
Multiple electrical configurations accommodate different power infrastructures: 115 V 60 Hz 1ph (14.3 A FLA), 230 V 50 Hz 1ph (6.3 A FLA), and 208/230 V 60 Hz 1ph. Pump selection spans positive displacement units from 1.3 gpm to 4.3 gpm (4.9 to 16.3 lpm), centrifugal options (CP-15, CP-25), and turbine pumps rated 1/6 HP and 1/2 HP. Controller packages range from basic digital temperature display with low-flow shut-off to advanced systems featuring RS-232 interface, digital pressure sensing, low-level detection, low/high temperature limits, configurable relay contacts, and auto-restart.
– Typical Applications
The RC011 suits equipment requiring consistent thermal management: precision manufacturing, medical device testing, laboratory analysis, and industrial process control where tight temperature regulation is critical.
– Compatibility & Integration
Operate with filtered clean water above 10°C (50°F). For sub-10°C setpoints, add freezing point depressant such as ethylene glycol. Configurable controller packages enable integration with RS-232 systems and relay-based automation.
