MultiTemp III regulates temperature by balancing the effects of constant cooling and controlled pulses of heating.

Constant cooling is provided by a built-in unit that includes a compressor, an air cooled liquifier and an evaporator (a coo- ling coil as heat exchanger) located in the chamber. This coo- ling unit operates at temperatures up to 68.0 °C. Beyond this temperature, the compressor automatically switches off.

Heating is provided by pulses of power at a frequency esta- blished by the set working temperature.

This type of control achieves an optimal balance between cooling and heating and maintains the liquid temperature constant at any pre-set level.

See Figure 1 for a description of the front and rear panels with connection points for cooling liquid and power.

The five digit numeric display shows either the actual opera- ting temperature, error messages or the set temperature. After selecting mode or setting temperature, the display automati- cally switches back to the actual temperature after approxi- mately 10 seconds.

In the “actual temperature” mode, a constantly lit dot in the left digit position indicates that the heater is working to reach the set temperature. A flashing dot indicates that the liquid in the bath has reached this working temperature.

The control light is lit only when the compressor is in operation.
