The listed fluid temperature range may deviate from the device operating temperature ranges and settings.
 Note: for open bath application!
 Note: Tap water may be unsuitable for operation because the calcium carbonate content may cause calcification.
High purity water (from icon exchangers) and distilled or bi-distilled water are unsuitable for operation due to corrosive
properties of these media. High purity water and distillates are suitable as a medium after adding 0.1 g soda (Na

Nomenclaturefor IKA ® fluids:
CF.EG28.N10.80.8 --
(1) Classification:
HF: Heating Fluid
CF: Cooling Fluid
UF: Universal Fluid
(2) Chemical composition:
Si: Silicone oil
EG: Ethylene Glycol
(3) Temperature range: (Minimum temperature. Maximum temperature)
N: Negative Temperature
(4) Viscosiy:
Viscosiy at 25 °C for Heating Fluid (HF)
Viscosity at -20 °C for Cooling Fluid (CF)
Viscosity at 25 °C for Universal Fluid (UF)
Dynamic viscosity [mPa.s] is a product of kinematic viscosity [mm²/s] and density [kg/m³] of the fluid divided by 1000.
