Description
Huber Ministats are the smallest cooling circulator in the world. Their small dimensions allow Ministats to be placed in the smallest of spaces, for example in a laboratory fume cupboard or inside technical plant. Despite their minimal size the systems are extensively fitted out and offer sufficient performance for temperature control of photometers, refractometers, viscometers, distillation apparatus, reaction vessels and mini-plants. The main applications are using external applications however the bath opening allows objects to be thermoregulated directly in a thermostat bath. A powerful pressure/suction pump with an infinitely controlled rotational speed ensures optimal circulation. The maximum pressure can also be regulated by an optional pressure sensor, meaning that sensitive glass reactors and apparatus can reliably be protected from breakage. Additionally, Ministats offer the Pilot ONE controller as standard with a colour TFT display and comfortable operator guidance. Analogue connections according to NAMUR are available via the optional Com.G@te module allowing Ministats to integrate into plant and process control systems.
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. 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
How does the Ministat 230 differ from the Ministat 125?+
The 230 has a wider range (−40 to 200 °C against −25 to 150 °C) and its own refrigeration capacity curve, at the cost of a larger chassis — 255 × 450 × 476 mm and 37 kg against 225 × 370 × 429 mm and 25 kg. Heating capacity is lower at 1.5 kW against 3 to 3.5 kW, so the 125 heats faster while the 230 goes colder and hotter.
What cooling capacity is available across the range?+
0.42 kW at 100 °C and 20 °C, 0.38 kW at 0 °C, 0.33 kW at −10 °C, 0.25 kW at −20 °C and 0.05 kW at −40 °C. As with any single-stage circulator, usable capacity collapses near the bottom of the range, so size against your working setpoint.
What pump performance and fluid limits apply?+
22 lpm at 0.7 bar in pressure mode and 16 lpm at 0.4 bar in suction mode, through M16x1 male connections, with a permissible viscosity of 50 mm²/s. Pump speed is adjustable from the controller, and the soft-start behaviour is intended to protect glass apparatus.
Can it be integrated into a plant or process control system?+
Yes. Analogue connections to NAMUR are available through the optional Com.G@te module, and the unit provides a Pt100 external probe connection plus RS232, Ethernet, USB Device and USB Host as standard.
What is the refrigerant, and what ambient does it need?+
An air-cooled circuit charged with 99 g of R290, classified A3 / H220. That is a flammable refrigerant, so the installation location should be reviewed against your institution's requirements. Permissible ambient temperature is 5 to 40 °C.
What is supplied with it?+
The Huber Ministat 230 data sheet lists a mini-USB cable, a blank plug, an NW12 hose connector, threaded sleeve nuts and a bath cover, with hoses, thermofluids, a drain valve and the Com.G@te module as options. Note that the data sheet held on file is for order number 2015.0012.01 while the order number listed against this product is 2015.0005.01, so confirm the delivery contents against your specific configuration.
