Haake DC10 Digital Immersion Heating Circulator
The Haake DC10 Digital Immersion Heating Circulator is a precision laboratory temperature-control unit designed to add controlled heating and active fluid circulation to a compatible bath or reservoir. Featuring digital PID temperature control, approximately ±0.02°C temperature accuracy, a powerful circulation pump, and up to 1,200 W of heating capacity in the 115 V configuration, the DC10 provides considerably greater control and functionality than a basic immersion heater.
The DC10 can be mounted to an appropriate laboratory bath for direct sample temperature control or configured to circulate temperature-controlled fluid through compatible external equipment. Its flexible immersion design allows laboratories to select a reservoir appropriate for their application rather than being restricted to a permanently integrated bath.
Available used and refurbished from American Instrument Exchange, this Haake DC10 is inspected and tested for reliable heating, circulation, temperature regulation, and controller operation. A 90-day warranty is included.

Overview
The Haake DC10 is a digital immersion circulator designed to provide precise heating and fluid circulation without requiring a permanently integrated reservoir.
The circulation head combines an electric heater, pump, temperature sensor, PID controller, digital display, and safety systems in a compact assembly that can be mounted to a compatible laboratory bath.
This configuration provides substantial flexibility. A laboratory can select an appropriately sized reservoir for the application while using the DC10 to provide temperature regulation and continuous fluid movement.
Active circulation is particularly important for temperature-controlled bath applications. Instead of relying on natural convection to distribute heat, the DC10 continuously moves fluid throughout the reservoir, improving heat transfer and helping minimize temperature gradients.
The DC10 also provides substantially more sophisticated control than older analog Haake circulators. Digital temperature setting, PID regulation, Real Temperature Adjustment, setpoint limiting, and a clear LED display support precise and repeatable operation.

Common Applications
The Haake DC10 can support a broad range of laboratory procedures requiring precise and repeatable temperature control. Typical applications include sample conditioning, reagent warming, chemical reaction control, viscosity measurements, calibration work, materials testing, incubation, analytical procedures, and general laboratory research.
Its immersion configuration makes the DC10 especially useful when a laboratory needs to temperature-control a vessel that does not already incorporate its own heater and circulation system.
The DC10 can also circulate temperature-controlled fluid through compatible external equipment. Potential applications include jacketed reaction vessels, heat exchangers, analytical instruments, test cells, and other closed-loop laboratory systems.
Because the DC10 provides relatively strong pump performance for an immersion circulator, it offers greater flexibility for external circulation than simple bath-only heaters.
Ideal Laboratory Types
The Haake DC10 is well suited for chemistry laboratories, pharmaceutical and biotechnology facilities, analytical laboratories, materials-science groups, quality-control departments, industrial R&D facilities, process-development laboratories, teaching laboratories, and academic research environments.
Its combination of digital control and flexible reservoir configuration can be especially useful for laboratories performing multiple types of temperature-controlled experiments.
The DC10 is also appropriate for facilities maintaining established experimental procedures originally developed around Haake temperature-control equipment.
Temperature Control & Stability
The Haake DC10 uses PID temperature regulation and is specified for approximately ±0.02 K temperature accuracy under appropriate operating conditions.
PID control continuously evaluates the difference between the selected setpoint and measured bath temperature and adjusts heater output accordingly. This provides more precise regulation and reduces temperature overshoot compared with simple on/off heating control.
The DC10 also incorporates Haake's Real Temperature Adjustment system, allowing the displayed temperature to be adjusted against an external reference measurement when required.
The controller itself is capable of supporting temperatures from approximately -30°C to +100°C. However, the DC10 does not contain an integrated refrigeration system.
Temperatures below ambient therefore require an appropriate external cooling source or a refrigerated bath configuration. When used strictly as an immersion heating circulator without external cooling, its practical lower temperature is determined by ambient conditions.
Circulation & Pump Performance
The Haake DC10 incorporates a circulation pump capable of approximately 17 L/min maximum open flow with maximum pressure of approximately 300 mbar.
When circulating through 12 mm diameter hoses, Haake specifies maximum flow of approximately 12.5 L/min.
This circulation capability serves two purposes.
For direct bath applications, continuous fluid movement distributes heat throughout the reservoir and helps provide consistent temperature conditions around samples.
For external applications, the DC10 can circulate temperature-controlled fluid through compatible jacketed vessels, analytical instruments, heat exchangers, and other laboratory equipment.
Actual external flow will depend on tubing diameter and length, fittings, elevation, fluid viscosity, operating temperature, and resistance within the connected equipment.
Customers with specific minimum flow or pressure requirements should provide those specifications before purchase so American Instrument Exchange can evaluate the DC10 for the intended application.
Refurbishment & Testing
This used Haake DC10 Digital Immersion Heating Circulator is refurbished and tested by American Instrument Exchange before shipment. Our technicians inspect the heater, circulation pump, digital controller, temperature sensor, display, electrical components, mounting hardware, fluid connections, and applicable safety systems.
Temperature-controlled equipment is tested using NIST-traceable probes and data loggers. The DC10 is operated in an appropriate test bath to evaluate heating performance, circulation, temperature regulation, controller response, and overall system stability.
The Real Temperature Adjustment function and safety controls are checked where applicable, and fluid-contact components are cleaned and inspected before shipment.
Customers requiring the DC10 for a particular bath volume, temperature, or external circulation application are encouraged to provide their operating requirements. When practical, American Instrument Exchange can incorporate customer-requested conditions into final testing.
A 90-day warranty is included with this refurbished Haake immersion circulator.
Choosing the Right Immersion Circulator
The Haake DC10 is particularly well suited for laboratories that need precise digital temperature control but do not necessarily require a complete refrigerated circulating bath.
Compared with a basic immersion heater, the DC10 provides PID regulation, digital temperature setting and display, active fluid circulation, calibration adjustment, and dedicated safety systems.
Compared with a fixed-capacity circulating bath, the immersion design offers greater flexibility because the controller can be paired with an appropriately sized compatible reservoir.
The primary limitation is refrigeration. Although the DC10 controller platform can support temperatures as low as approximately -30°C when paired with appropriate cooling equipment, the immersion head itself does not generate refrigeration.
Laboratories requiring routine subambient operation should therefore consider pairing the DC10 with an appropriate refrigerated bath or selecting a complete refrigerated/heated circulator.
American Instrument Exchange can help compare available Haake and other laboratory circulators based on temperature range, bath volume, heating capacity, pump performance, cooling requirements, and intended application.
