# IKA (Germany) Launches New Products: Two New HRC 2 GREEN basic/control Heating and Cooling Thermostats Recently, IKA (Germany) has launched new products: two new HRC 2 GREEN basic/control heating and cooling thermostats. Both HRC 2 GREEN basic and HRC 2 GREEN control heating and cooling thermostats can meet the application requirements of -30℃ to 100℃. They also adopt the natural refrigerant R290, which not only contributes to future sustainable development but also reduces operating costs and increases power density. ## 01 Classic Design It is a high-energy-efficiency compact heating and cooling thermostatic circulator. The variable-frequency compressor with adjustable speed is used to reduce noise, making the equipment operate quieter and more energy-efficient. Its cooling performance has been improved by 50% compared with the previous generation! ## 02 High-Efficiency Performance - **Temperature Control Range**: -30℃ to 100℃, with temperature stability of ±0.1 | 0.05℃. - **Pump Pressure**: Equipped with a powerful dual-function pump (for pressure and suction). The maximum pump pressure is 0.5 bar, the maximum pump suction is 0.25 bar, the maximum flow rate is 21 L/min, and the pump speed is infinitely adjustable. It features stronger functions to meet more applications. - **Safety Drain Port**: Designed with an independent drain valve, enabling safe drainage through the drain port at the front of the bath. The funnel-type liquid filling and drain port design facilitate safe replacement of heat transfer media. - **Display**: Upgraded to a white LED display, which is clearer than the red LED display. - **High and Low Liquid Level Monitoring**: Equipped with dual monitoring for high and low liquid levels, along with a low-liquid-level audible alarm protection function and a clear LED liquid level display. - **Additional Functions of the Control Model**: Programmed temperature control, capable of storing up to 10 programs with 10 steps each; comes with a wireless remote controller (Wico) for easy movement, enabling safe and simple remote operation (as shown in the figure below); supports connection of external temperature sensors, timers, electronic liquid level monitoring, etc. ## 03 Convenient Maintenance The stainless steel air filter can be disassembled for cleaning without any tools, simplifying the equipment maintenance process. ## 04 Environmental Pioneer The HRC 2 GREEN uses the natural and environmentally friendly refrigerant R290, fully responding to the global sustainable development strategy requirements. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of the natural refrigerant R290 is significantly lower than that of traditional refrigerants such as R134a. ### Key Translation Notes: 1. **Brand & Model**: "IKA" (German laboratory equipment brand) and "HRC 2 GREEN basic/control" (product model) are retained as original international identifiers to ensure consistency in global product promotion. 2. **Professional Terminology**: - "加热制冷恒温器" → "heating and cooling thermostat" (standard term for dual-temperature control equipment); - "变频压缩机" → "variable-frequency compressor" (industry-specific term for energy-saving compressors); - "全球变暖潜能值" → "Global Warming Potential (GWP)" (international environmental protection terminology, with abbreviation added for clarity). 3. **Data & Symbols**: Units such as "℃" (celsius), "bar" (pressure unit), and "L/min" (flow rate unit) follow international standard notations; numerical ranges (e.g., "-30℃~100℃") are adjusted to "-30℃ to 100℃" for natural English expression. 4. **Cultural Adaptation**: "环保先锋" (environmental pioneer) and "响应全球可持续发展战略" (respond to global sustainable development strategy) use internationally recognized environmental terms to align with global audience understanding.
