Intended Use

The Thermoline cold plate TCP-3 model is designed and manufactured to provide a low temperature controlled surface. Designed to operate at between -10°C and -20°C, the Thermoline refrigerated Cold Plate offers an industry standard in plate cooling.

Cold Plates offer:

  • Durable exterior case
  • Insulation for efficiency
  • Meets IEC 61010-1:2010

The Thermoline cold plate is set to function within specific operating ranges. The optimum operating conditions will be explained further.

  • Control Accuracy: +/- 0.1°C
  • Operating Temperature between -10°C and -20°C

Operating Environment

Location

  • Place the cold plate away from direct sunlight and heat sources (e.g., heaters).
  • Ensure the room's ambient temperature does not exceed the cold plate's operational limits.
  • Ensure that the cold plate is located free from all obstructions to maintain correct operation
  • The cold plate should be stored inside at all times. Failure to adhere to this could cause significant drops in its performance and damage to items stored inside.
  • For Multiple Units: When installing more than one cold plate ensure that there is adequate spacing in between the cold plates.

Environmental Conditions

Condition Temperature Humidity
Extreme Operating Environment 10°C to 32°C  Up to 85% RH
Optimal Environment 23°C (±2.0°C) 50% RH (±5% RH)

Electrical Connections

All cold plates require a 10amp, 230V, 50Hz power supply. Use a dedicated outlet for the cold plate, and avoid using power boards or extension cords. Each unit is supplied with a standard 3-pin moulded plug for connection to the mains.

Power Supply:

All cold plates are equipped with a 2.5m removable mains power lead, featuring a three-pin plug and a female IEC plug. Ensure the cold plate is positioned at a reasonable distance from the power supply to prevent strain on the power lead.

The cold plate itself is fitted with a male IEC socket for secure connection.

 

Operating Environment WarningsWarning

  • Do not store items on top of the cold plate, as this will also affect ventilation.
  • CAUTION: When installing more than one unit in the same location, ensure that they are positioned in such a way that warm air exhausted from one product is not drawn directly into the other product.
  • The cold plate is not suitable for use with flammable solvents. They are fitted with components that may be the source of ignition.
