4 Description of function
This section explains the basic working principle of the Recirculating Chiller. It also shows how the
instrument is structured and provides a general functional description of its assemblies.
4 .1 Functional principle
The BUCHI Recirculating Chillers are a closed-circuit cooler for use with appropriate laboratory instru-
ments. The four models are distinguished by their outputs and control. The F-100 has a fixed cooling
temperature without display. The models F-105 to F-114 are equipped with a control unit and built
in display to regulate and indicate the actual and set value of the cooling temperature. The F-100 is
optimal for cooling one BUCHI Rotavapor system. The F-114 is sufficient for cooling up to two small
to medium Rotavapor systems (e.g. R-210).
