The Lytron RC022 is a recirculating chiller from the Kodiak series engineered to maintain precise fluid temperatures in laboratory, industrial, and specialized processing environments. Operating with 2400 W (8.2 kBTU/Hr) cooling capacity at 60 Hz with 20°C ambient and setpoint conditions, this unit delivers ±0.1°C temperature stability across a coolant range of +5°C to +35°C. The compact 376 × 623 × 673 mm footprint houses an 8-liter reservoir with 1/2 and 3/4 inch FNPT connections, accommodating multiple pump configurations from 0.5 gpm (1.9 lpm) flow rates.

– Compatibility & Integration
Two electrical configurations available: 230V 50 Hz single phase (9.5 FLA) or 208/230V 60 Hz single phase (10.0 FLA). Use filtered clean water above 10°C/50°F; freezing-point depressant (ethylene glycol) required for setpoints at or below 10°C/50°F. Automotive antifreeze is not recommended.
