Product description
The Variocool VC 2000 is a process thermostat/recirculating cooler available in air- or water-cooled versions. It is designed for temperature control of non‑flammable heat transfer liquids in industrial processes and laboratory applications. The unit features a compact tower design with steerable fixed castors and options for expanded insulation or outdoor installation on larger models.
