A03
The A03 Airblast Cooler, part of Applied Thermal Control’s comprehensive A-Series, is specifically designed for compact spaces and efficiency. Encased in the K3 enclosure, the A03 is shorter than its A02 counterpart, fitting comfortably under laboratory benches, making it an ideal solution for space-constrained environments such as research labs and medical facilities. This model caters to single-phase power systems, operating within a voltage range of 208 to 240V, thereby ensuring compatibility with a variety of laboratory and industrial electrical infrastructures. Notably, the A03 offers a cooling capacity of 3kW at a setpoint 10°C above ambient temperature.
In contrast to the A02, the A03 is not configured for use with centrifugal pumps. This makes the A03 suitable for applications with high back pressure, and also allows it to work with more viscous fluids such as minerals. This airblast cooling method, fundamental to the A03’s operation, involves propelling ambient air over the process fluids – such as water, glycols, or oils – to effectively remove excess heat. This approach avoids the complexities of traditional refrigeration systems and is effective in maintaining process temperatures above ambient levels, ensuring that the A03 delivers reliable and consistent cooling performance.
The practical design and cooling capabilities of the A03 make it suitable for a range of specific applications, including materials testing, industrial computed tomography (CT), industrial X-ray systems, cancer therapy machines, welding robots, and PCR machines.
