The Minichiller 280 OLÉ is a "Plug & Play" solution that replaces unreliable and wasteful tap water cooling. By utilizing a closed-loop system, it not only provides more accurate temperature control but also significantly reduces water consumption, making it a sustainable and high-performance choice for any modern laboratory.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is the Minichiller better than using tap water for cooling?
Unlike tap water, the Minichiller provides a constant temperature regardless of seasonal changes or building water pressure. It also eliminates the risk of floods and pays for itself quickly through water savings.

2. Can this unit be used for heating?
No, the Minichiller 280 is a dedicated circulation cooler with a range of -5°C to +40°C. If you require both heating and cooling in one unit, you may wish to look at the Huber CC-K6 or KISS K6 models.

3. What is the benefit of the suction/pressure pump for condensers?
Standard high-pressure pumps can create enough stress to crack thin-walled glass condensers. The Huber Minichiller pump provides a high volume of coolant flow to remove heat effectively while keeping the pressure low enough to protect your glassware.

4. How do I fill the unit?
The filling port is conveniently located on the top of the unit. The level can be monitored via the illuminated indicator on the front panel to ensure the unit is never run dry.

5. Is this model air-cooled or water-cooled?
The Minichiller 280 (3065.0001.98) is air-cooled, meaning it rejects heat into the ambient air of the laboratory via an internal fan. Ensure there is enough clearance around the vents for optimal performance.
