Description
Energy‑efficient refrigerated circulator designed to replace tap‑water cooling
The ORCA is a closed‑loop recirculating chiller built around Grant’s latest refrigeration technology — engineered specifically for energy‑efficient laboratory cooling. It delivers stable, precise temperature control to replace
costly, inconsistent and wasteful tap‑water systems, helping laboratories dramatically cut water consumption and reduce utility spend.
By capturing and re‑using waste heat, ORCA further lowers operational costs by easing demand on air‑conditioning. Its smart, automatic adjustment to varying heat loads ensures consistent performance across
a wide range of applications, providing a robust, efficiency‑driven cooling solution for modern laboratory environments.
FEATURES
• Closed loop system with a 1.7L chamber fill capacity
• Simple to use user interface with intuitive controls
• Accessories including connectors, fluids and hoses to meet a wide range of applications
• Quiet operation with a noise level below 50dB
• No heater which means less energy required for use
• Small footprint for easy integration and less bench space lost
• Powerful pump to meet demanding applications
• New design with a modern fresh approach
• New technology to reduce energy use, waste heat and costs
APPLICATIONS
• Maintaining condenser temperatures in rotary evaporation
• Circulating coolant through jacketed vessels
• Maintaining a controlled temperature in a reflux column
• Supporting analytical equipment such as spectrometers, refractometers, viscometers and benchtop analysers
• General laboratory use such as cooling heat exchange coils and removing heat from thermally sensitive
devices
• Regulating temperatures in bioprocessing and biotechnology setups including bioreactors, fermenters and
cell culture systems
FLUIDS
We recommend the following fluids for use in the ORCA:
• 5 to 40°C ‑ Water (do not use water below 5°C)
• 0 to 40°C ‑ 80% water, 20% antifreeze ‑ inhibited ethylene glycol
• ‑10 to 40°C ‑ 50% water, 50% antifreeze ‑ inhibited ethylene glycol
