MGC 500W Recirculating Chiller
A space-efficient and environmentally conscious solution, the MGC delivers reliable temperature control in a compact, globally compatible design.
The MGC is a compact recirculating chiller designed for laboratory and OEM applications where space, flexibility, and reliable performance are essential.
As part of the next-generation MG Series, it combines modern control technology with an eco-conscious design, using R290 refrigerant to reduce environmental impact while maintaining high performance.
Its small footprint, multi-voltage capability, and air freight compatibility make it ideal for global deployment and integration into a wide range of systems.
Key Features
Precise temperature control (±0.1°C ) – Ensures consistent performance for sensitive applications
Compact, benchtop design – Ideal for space-constrained laboratory and OEM environments
R290 natural refrigerant – Low environmental impact and not subject to F-Gas regulations
Airfreight compatible (<100g refrigerant charge) - Simplifies global logistics and deployment
Integrated communications as standard – Includes RS485 communication for remote setpoint adjustment and volt-free contacts for alarm signals and remote monitoring
