Description

The Thermo Scientific ThermoChill II MDCI Recirculating Chiller delivers dependable liquid temperature control with cooling capacity up to 1000W (3415 BTU). Its compact build is designed to save space while supporting reliable, steady circulation with minimal upkeep.

This model uses an MDC1 magnetic drive centrifugal pump, which eliminates shaft seals and reduces the risk of leaks, extending service life and lowering maintenance demands. With simple operation and durable construction, it’s a practical solution for facilities requiring stable temperature regulation.

As part of the Thermo Fisher Scientific family, trusted worldwide in pharma services and by CDMO pharma companies such as Patheon pharmaceuticals, the ThermoChill II MDCI supports precise cooling in research, biotech, and regulated production environments.

Why Choose ThermoChill II MDCI?

Unlike positive displacement pump models, the MDCI centrifugal design provides smooth, non-pulsating flow and requires less maintenance. This makes it ideal for academic labs, teaching facilities, or moderate industrial setups that need reliable cooling but not high-pressure delivery.

Its mag-drive technology offers an advantage in reducing downtime and preventing leaks, which is especially valuable in sensitive research environments and pharmaceutical development companies that prioritize clean, efficient operation.

FAQs

What makes a magnetic drive pump different from other pumps?

It uses magnetic coupling instead of direct seals, which reduces wear, eliminates shaft seal failures, and lowers the risk of leaks.

Is this chiller suitable for environments with frequent equipment relocation?

Yes. Its lighter build and simple connections make it easier to reposition compared to larger industrial chillers.

What industries commonly use the MDCI model?

It’s frequently used in university research labs, biotech R&D, and mid-scale pharma service facilities that don’t require high-pressure pumping.

How does the MDCI design support sustainability?

The leak-free magnetic drive system reduces coolant loss and waste, helping labs and manufacturers cut environmental impact.

Can it be used as a backup unit in larger facilities?

Yes. Many facilities keep the MDCI version as a secondary chiller to ensure continuity during maintenance of larger systems.
