Product Description
Neslab Coolflow CFT-33 Refrigerated Recirculator – Laboratory-Grade Liquid Cooling System
This used Neslab CFT-33 is a compact, air-cooled recirculating chiller designed to provide a continuous supply of cooling fluid at a constant temperature and volume for laboratory and industrial applications . The unit consists of an air-cooled refrigeration system, a sealable reservoir, a recirculating pump, and a temperature controller . It delivers stable, repeatable cooling for analytical instruments, lasers, process cooling, and component testing .
The CFT-33 offers 1000 watts of cooling capacity at 20°C and operates within a temperature range of +5°C to +35°C . The temperature stability is ±1.0°C . The reservoir volume is 1.1 gallons (4.1 liters) and the unit commonly uses a PD-2 positive displacement pump . The unit operates on standard 115V/60Hz single-phase power at 12.0 amps .
Condition Note: This unit is untested.
