Lytron frequently receives questions through its “Ask an Engineer” website form. A customer recently asked the following question: “Does the RC022J03BF2C031 include the optional heater?”
The RC022, one of Lytron’s standard recirculating chillers, does have an optional 2,000 Watt electric resistance heater. This heater option allows the chiller to more quickly reach a set point temperature above the ambient temperature. This is useful for applications where a cold start is necessary or where the coolant set point is frequently cycled. The heater option is available on the RC011, RC022, RC030, and RC045 recirculating chillers. Options available on standard chillers can be reviewed under the chiller specifications page. Additional options are available for custom chillers.
