The media temperature control device "IRS ICEcube PRO" is a powerful, versatile temperature control unit for precise temperature regulation of power electronic assemblies. It offers two independently controlled cooling circuits and is designed for demanding test bench applications – with minimal space requirements in the compact 19-inch format (12 HE). 

Technical Highlights 

• Two-circuit system for parallel operation of two test specimens (50l/min each cooling circuit) or combined high flow. 

  
  

• High cooling capacity: 15 kW at a 10 K temperature difference. 

  
  

• Optional heating capacity: up to 15 kW. 

  
  

• Compact design: 19 inches, only 12 height units. 

  
  

• Flexible cooling medium: Water-glycol mixtures or fully desalinated or deionized water. 

  
  

• 40-liter tank volume for stable control. 

Technical Description 

The unit impresses with its high nominal cooling capacity of 15 kW at a 10 Kelvin temperature difference between the test specimen and domestic water circuits, which is housed in the compact 19-inch format with 12 height units – ideal for applications with limited space and simultaneously high power requirements. For active temperature regulation, up to 15kW heating capacity is also available upon request. 

Another technical highlight is the two cooling circuits within the only 12 height units of the IRS ICEcube PRO, which enable the parallel operation of two test specimens. Both circuits feature a temperature and flow-controlled feed. The flow controls of the two circuits operate independently of each other, and the temperature control applies across the shared tank volume of 40 liters. For applications with increased flow requirements, the cooling circuits can also be operated in conjunction. Flows of up to 100l/min are thus possible. 

All common liquids are suitable as cooling media: Water-glycol mixtures and deionized water are equally suitable for the device. 

The system is equipped with a bidirectional blow-off unit that allows for a parameterizable emptying process – duration, direction, and pulsation can be individually adjusted. The blow-off pressure can be precisely regulated via a manually adjustable compressed air maintenance unit. 

In each cooling circuit, robust peripheral pumps are used, which can provide up to 50 l/min flow per cooling circuit or alternatively up to 8 bar delivery pressure at 5 l/min flow depending on operating conditions – ideal for a variety of testing requirements. 

Control can be carried out either manually via a modern 10.1" touch display or via a web interface. Alternatively, a convenient remote control via the integrated Modbus/TCP or S7 interfaces is also possible. Optionally, the system is available with an external filling pump, which further simplifies handling.
