Description
With the Huber Pilot One BFT5 we offer a special heating and cooling thermostat for the Beer Forcing test. The unit is fitted with a programmer for automatic temperature cycles. The changing the temperature between 0 and 60 °C in a cycle time of 24 hours artificial aging of the beer is achieved. The model meet the requirements of Safety Class III (FL). The housing and all parts which come into contact with the fluid are made out of high quality stainless steel.The new multi-touch controller Pilot ONE offers a brilliant 5.7″ touchscreen with graphic functions and a comfortable navigation menu. All important operating parameters and temperature values are neatly displayed on the touchscreen of this natural refrigerant. Thanks to the new favourites menu, the one-click operation and the integrated technical glossary the operation is very easy, just like on a smartphone. Integrated USB and Ethernet ports allows connection to a PC or network, e.g. for remote control or data transmission.

Frequently asked questions
What is the beer forcing test this unit is configured for?+
The BFT5 ships with a programmer that cycles the bath temperature between 0 and 60 °C over a 24-hour period, which is used to accelerate the ageing of a beer sample so that shelf-life behaviour can be assessed in a shorter window. The calendar and clock functions in the programmer run the cycle unattended.
What temperature range and stability does it hold?+
The working range is −40 to 80 °C with a stated temperature stability of ±0.03 °C. Heating capacity is 2 kW and cooling capacity is 1.2 kW at 20 °C, from an air-cooled refrigeration circuit charged with R452A.
How large is the bath and what is the minimum fill?+
Bath volume is 40 litres with a minimum filling volume of 8.5 litres. The bath opening measures 350 × 410 mm with a usable depth of 270 mm (13.78 × 16.14 in, 10.63 in deep).
What power supply does it need, and how much space?+
The data sheet lists a 208 V 2~ 60 Hz supply. The unit measures 460 × 710 × 911 mm (18.11 × 27.95 × 35.87 in) and weighs 95 kg (209 lb), and it is rated IP20 for indoor laboratory use with a permissible ambient of 5 to 40 °C.
What interfaces are available for logging and integration?+
A Pt100 connection is provided for an external probe, alongside RS232, Ethernet, USB Device and USB Host ports. The Pilot ONE controller drives a 5.7 in touchscreen and supports 2-point calibration.
What is supplied with the unit?+
The Huber data sheet for order number 2041.0002.01 lists a mini-USB cable and a bath cover as included accessories. Temperature-control hoses and thermofluids are listed as optional and are not part of the standard delivery.
