Operation above 60°C
A lid or polypropylene spheres must be used above 60°C to maintain temperature control
and to ensure that the bath fluid temperature reaches the set point. They will save
energy by preventing excessive evaporation and reduce the frequency that the bath
needs to be refilled. As a precaution, the T100/TC120 may display ‘Hot’ if heating water
at or near boiling over extended periods or heating large volumes of liquid with large
thermal losses without the use of a lid or polypropylene spheres. See section 11 for
additional guidance.
Care should be taken to ensure rear inlet vents are clear and minimise the intake of
steam when operating at or near boiling water or with other evaporating liquids.
Take care when lifting and removing the lid as it may be hot. Steam and hot
vapours can cause scalding.
