  • Page 5: General Description

    VI. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Torrey Pines Scientific Models RIC40 and RIC40XR are Peltier driven chilling/heating dry baths. They come with a universal power supply and the chilling/heating module. These units have only one moving part, the DC fan that cools the unit. Everything else is solid state and should last years without problem.

  • Page 6: Heater/Chiller Plate

    4.375" (11.1 cm). It is designed to accommodate all the aluminum blocks supplied by Torrey Pines Scientific. The temperature of the plate is sensed by a platinum RTD mounted under the plate. The computer in the unit compares the plate temperature with the target temperature and instructs the Peltier module to heat or chill the plate as required to reach and hold the target temperature.

  • Page 7: Timer

    The units are equipped with EEPROM memory that will store user settings such as the last set point, MENU options, user changed calibration points, and program steps. These stored values will be recalled each time the unit powers up to maintain the configuration of the previous session. Torrey Pines Scientific, Inc.
