Reservoir Fluids
Depending on your needs, a variety of fluids can be used with your Immersion Circulator. No matter what
bath fluid is selected, it must be chemically compatible with the reservoir and the materials in your
Immersion Circulator. It must also be suitable for the desired temperature range.
WARNING: Do not use a flammable liquid as a bath fluid as a fire hazard may result.
WARNING: Always use fluids that satisfy safety, health, and equipment compatibility requirements.
For optimum temperature stability, the fluid’s viscosity should be 50 centistokes (cSt) or less at its lowest
operating temperature. This permits good fluid circulation and minimizes heating from the pump.
For temperatures from 10°C to 90°C, distilled water is recommended. For temperatures below 10°C, a
mixture of laboratory grade ethylene glycol and water should be used. Do not use deionized water.
The following chart is intended to serve as a guide in selecting a bath fluid for your application. For
optimum temperature stability and low vaporization, be sure to stay within the fluid's normal temperature
range.
You are responsible for proper selection and use of the fluids. Avoid extreme range operation.
