Storm Heating/Cooling Work Station
Storm was designed as an add-on module for the Carousel 6 Plus and Tornado combination, creating a powerful ‘Parallel Process Reactor’ that heats, cools and mechanically stirs up to 6 flasks (50ml to 250ml), making it the ideal process optimisation and development tool.
Key Features
- Multiple or single stirred reactor, with controlled heating/cooling from 5ml to 5 litres.
- Thermofluid range of -85°C to +235°C; providing a solution temperature -65°C to +200°C.
- 135mm ø top plate integrates with the Carousel 6 Plus, Tornado, Heat-On & other reaction blocks.
- Ideal for temperature controlled, steady state reactions.
- Unique internal design maximises heat transfer from the thermofluid, focusing the energy towards the top plate surface. This design also minimises temperature variation across the contoured top plate.
- The insulated outer case reduces heat loss and prevents contact with hot/cold thermofluid.
- Optional two-piece, removable PTFE insulating plate provides increased energy efficiency, for improved heating and cooling; it also helps reduce ice formation on exposed surfaces at sub-ambient temperatures.
- Mechanical stirring provided by Tornado or suitable overhead stirrer.
- M24 hose connections, suitable for all popular brands of circulator .

What is the difference between Storm and Breeze?
Storm
Features a sophisticated internal fluid path that combines with a high performance insulated case to maximise thermal transfer. These features create a temperature control module that has a wide operating range with excellent heat transfer, making Storm ideal for steady state reactions from -65˚C to +200˚C that require stable temperatures for extended periods, with minimal variation across the heated surface.
Breeze
Small bench-top footprint and no insulation; resulting in a narrower operating range of -30°C to +165°C. Yet because it is smaller, Breeze has a much faster response time to required changes in temperature. This makes Breeze more suitable for applications that require solution control such as crystallisation studies.
