Cooling baths / Cooling thermostats
Technical features at a glance
Cold baths and cold thermostats are used when liquids need to be reliably cooled or maintained within a specific temperature range. In many laboratory processes, constant temperature control is crucial to create reproducible conditions.
The devices operate with an integrated cooling unit that continuously maintains the bath container at the desired temperature. The temperature can be set and monitored via electronic control. In the cold bath, temperature control occurs directly in the bath container. Sample vessels, reaction vessels, or other components are directly placed in the bath and cooled there.
A cold thermostat extends this principle with an integrated circulation pump. This allows the temperature-controlled liquid to be circulated for more uniform temperature distribution in the bath container or additionally guided through an external circuit to connected applications. For example, laboratory devices or test stands can be supplied with a temperature-controlled liquid.
Key features of our cold baths and cold thermostats:
- Temperature ranges typically from minus 40 °C to plus 20 °C
- Bath volume from 8 to 18 liters
- Electronic temperature control with easy-to-read LED display
- High-quality stainless steel bath containers for long-lasting use
- Low-noise, hermetically sealed cooling units
- Optionally integrated circulation pump for circulation in the bath and external temperature control circuits
These features allow both classic laboratory tasks and technical temperature control applications to be reliably realized.
Standard devices or custom adaptation?
Many applications can already be implemented with FRYKA's proven standard devices. The devices are designed to be flexibly integrated into different laboratory or testing processes.
Due to their compact design, cold baths and cold thermostats can be placed directly in the work environment. At the same time, well-thought-out design details allow for easy integration into existing laboratory setups.
If there are special requirements, adaptations can be implemented within the framework of series or OEM solutions. This results in device variants for an application or small series, for example, with adjusted dimensions or interfaces.

FRYKA brand products
Device series for different temperature control tasks
In the field of cold baths and cold thermostats, FRYKA offers proven standard temperature control devices for various requirements in laboratories and technology.
Cold baths (KB models)
Temperature baths for laboratory and testing processes
FRYKA cold baths are compact temperature control devices for applications where samples are cooled directly in the bath container. The bath container is made of high-quality stainless steel and is designed for daily use in the laboratory. An integrated cooling unit ensures that the bath liquid is brought to and maintained at the set temperature.
Sample vessels, reaction vessels, or other components can be directly placed in the bath container and tempered there. A suitable bath cover helps reduce heat input and protects the bath liquid from evaporation. This makes cold baths suitable for many laboratory applications where samples are directly cooled in the tempering bath.
Typical areas of application:
- Tempering of samples or liquids
- Material testing in the laboratory
- Tempering of reaction vessels
- Analytical laboratory applications
Cooling thermostats (KT models)
Tempering devices with circulation function
FRYKA cooling thermostats are based on the same principle as cold baths but also feature an integrated circulation pump.
This pump primarily ensures the circulation of the bath liquid in the bath container, supporting an even temperature distribution in the tempering bath. If needed, the tempered liquid can also be routed through hoses in an external circuit to temper laboratory devices or test setups, for example.
The temperature is regulated via electronic control and can also be monitored and regulated via an external temperature sensor if needed.
Typical areas of application:
- Tempering of external laboratory devices
- Tempering circuits in test stands
- Technical experimental setups
- Laboratory processes with external cooling
For applications with larger heat loads or continuous cooling circuits, recirculating coolers or circulation coolers are often used.
What distinguishes FRYKA cold baths and cooling thermostats
Technical quality and manufacturing
FRYKA develops and manufactures its tempering devices at the Esslingen site (Baden-Württemberg). Design, production, and quality testing are carried out in-house.
High-quality components and robust housing constructions are used. Each device is thoroughly tested before delivery to ensure reliable operation.
Quality management is carried out according to DIN EN ISO 9001. The in-house development and high level of manufacturing depth enable efficient implementation of device variants within the framework of series or OEM solutions.
The close integration of design, device construction, and quality inspection supports economical series production as well as long-term spare parts supply.
The selection of a suitable cooling bath or cooling thermostat depends on several technical and economic factors. Important criteria include, for example:
- Required temperature range
- Required bath volume
- Temperature control task in the bath or in an external circuit
- Pump performance for external applications
- Operating conditions in the laboratory or technical environment
A suitable device selection helps to create stable temperature conditions while ensuring economical operation.
FRYKA supports you in selecting the right device and provides application-specific advice. The goal is a solution that fits both technically and economically to your application.
FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions & Answers about Cooling Baths and Cooling Thermostats
Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about the selection, functionality, and use of temperature control devices in the laboratory and in technical applications for the industry.
A cooling bath is a laboratory device for cooling samples in a bath container. The bath liquid is brought to the desired temperature and maintained there using an integrated cooling unit.
Sample vessels or components can be directly placed in the bath, where they are surrounded by the cooled bath liquid. This allows multiple samples to be cooled simultaneously within a defined temperature range.
Cooling baths are primarily used in laboratories, material testing, or technical test setups when uniform cooling via a liquid bath is required.
A cooling thermostat is based on the same basic principle as a cooling bath but additionally features a mounted circulation pump. This primarily ensures that the bath liquid in the bath container is continuously circulated and the temperature is evenly distributed.
Furthermore, the tempered liquid can also be routed through hoses through an external circuit if needed, to temper laboratory devices, reactors, or test stands, for example.
In laboratory technology, the term cooling thermostat is often used as a generic term for devices with bath and circulation function. However, the combination of a cooled bath and the ability to circulate the bath liquid is crucial in practical use.
The choice of bath liquid depends on the desired temperature range and the specific application. In principle, various suitable temperature control liquids can be used, provided they are suitable for the intended temperature range.
Since cooling baths are open baths, vapors can form from the bath liquid. Therefore, only media that are explicitly approved for use in open temperature control baths should be used.
FRYKA itself does not offer bath liquids. In practice, suitable water or special liquids are usually used, which are selected by the user according to the requirements of the respective process.
FRYKA cooling baths and cooling thermostats feature electronic temperature control with an integrated temperature sensor. This allows the desired temperature to be set and monitored during operation.
In cooling thermostats, an external temperature sensor can additionally be used to measure and control the temperature directly in the bath container.
Temperature baths are used in many areas where liquids or samples need to be cooled or maintained within a specific temperature range.
Typical applications include laboratory experiments, material tests, chemical reactions, or technical testing processes. Especially in laboratory environments, temperature baths enable stable conditions for reproducible experiments.
