4.2 Device types
The type designation of the Proline Low-Temperature Thermostats comprises the prefix R (to
designate the refrigeration machine), a P for Proline, the bath volume in liters and the lowest bath
temperature (guide figure without arithmetic sign).
Examples: RP 855 is a low-temperature thermostat with 8-liter bath and -55 °C minimum
temperature.
RP 1845 is a low-temperature thermostat with 18-liter bath and -45 °C minimum
temperature.
4.3 Varioflex pump
All units are fitted with a Varioflex pump with an 8-stage variable drive. The pump power can therefore
be optimally matched to the relevant task: High pump pressure when, for example, long hoses pass to
external loads or circulation is to be provided for a large bath. Low pressure when the heat input into
the bath must be low.
As a pressure/suction pump, the Varioflex pump enables the very effective supply of pressure-
sensitive glass reactors, which have a minimum permissible pressure rating.
Furthermore, open vessels can be operated when a constant level controller (accessory LCZ 0660) is
used.
At the right-hand side and at the back of the unit outflow and inflow nozzles are fitted for external
loads. This means that up to two external loads can be directly connected without a distributor.
Connections, which are not required, must be closed off with the supplied caps and union nuts.
A bypass valve can subdivide the total volume flow variably between the bath (internally) and the
connected load (externally). Consequently, no "pump short circuit" is needed. If no load is connected
to the pump connector, the bypass valve must be set to the
“internal” position for the best bath
circulation.
In the heating range, the Varioflex pump operates up to viscosity values of 150 mm²/s. In the closed-
loop control mode 50 mm²/s should not be exceeded. The temperature control is the best with
30 mm²/s and lower viscosity.
With small bath coolers (e.g. RP 845) power level 1 to 3 is practicable.
