Technical Report on Heating Block Performance and Utility
Jul 26 2007
Today scientists are increasingly turning to specially designed aluminium blocks located on stirring hotplates as a safer, cleaner and faster way of heating standard round-bottomed flasks (10 to 5000 ml). This new Technical Bulletin TDS02S demonstrates that not all heating block designs are the same.
In the energy consumption test - comparative experimental data is provided demonstrating that Heat-On uses up to 30% less energy to heat up a stirred solution to 100oC. To compare heat-up performance - comparative tests were performed in 100ml, 500ml and 2000ml blocks. Experimental data is provided that demonstrates Heat-On heats up to 66% faster than the other heating block design.
The report concludes that the lower thermal mass of the Heat-On produces significantly faster heat-up times and faster post-synthesis cool down times. In addition the Heat-On proprietary well design, that eliminates sticking and cracking of flasks associated with other heating block designs, maximises the heated surface area further contributing to improved heat-up times. Because of these thermal features Heat-On is more efficient - using less energy to achieve the same results, saving money and reducing the environmental impact.
