How the equipment works

The product flows through an inner stainless-steel tube. A separate fluid flows around that tube to heat or cool the product through the wall.

The unit can run on its own or connect to other test equipment. In this setup, the controls show temperature, pressure and flow so the team can match samples to the settings used.

Sample volume, product thickness, and the heating and cooling settings shape the trial. Operating range, cooling connections, and data logging vary by setup.
