The Peltier-based Heat/Cool System PHECOS

PHECOS is Novocontrol’s latest temperature control system for applications in materials research, including dielectric spectroscopy, conductivity spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

Features

• Operating principle: Dual-stage Peltier heat/cool system
• T range (PHECOS): −50 °C to 200 °C (for Tambient<25 °C)1
• T range (PHECOS Lite): −35 °C to 150 °C (for Tambient<25 °C)
• T stability: 0.1 °C
• T accuracy: 0.2 °C
• Temperature ramps from 0.01 °C/min up to 30 °C/min
• Temperature overshooting after set point step typically < 1 °C
• Stabilization times typically below 5 minutes (for 0.1 °C stability)
• Microprocessor controller with 24 bit ADC and IEC communication port
