The PerkinElmer Intracooler 2P is a dual-stage closed-loop refrigeration cooling accessory designed to provide subambient temperature control for compatible PerkinElmer differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) systems. The unit shown in the image is clearly labeled PerkinElmer Intracooler 2P Cooling Accessory and features an integrated refrigeration enclosure, digital temperature display, control knob and front power control.

The Intracooler 2P is designed to work with compatible PerkinElmer DSC instruments, particularly the Pyris 1 DSC, by circulating refrigerant through an expansion chamber attached to the DSC sample-holder enclosure. Technical documentation identifies the Intracooler 2P as a dual-stage closed-loop circulating heat exchanger.

The system can provide cooling of the DSC block to approximately −85 °C, allowing compatible Pyris 1 DSC configurations to operate down to approximately −65 °C, depending on ambient conditions and laboratory line voltage. The photographed unit shows visible dust, staining and cosmetic wear from previous laboratory use.

Applications

The PerkinElmer Intracooler 2P is primarily used for subambient differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) applications where controlled cooling below room temperature is required. DSC researchers have used Pyris instruments equipped with Intracooler 2P systems for studying glass transitions, crystallization, melting behavior and other thermal transitions in polymers, pharmaceuticals and other materials.

It is particularly useful for laboratories performing controlled heating and cooling cycles during thermal characterization. Published research demonstrates its use with PerkinElmer Pyris DSC systems for polymer crystallization and thermal-transition measurements under controlled temperature programs.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

A refurbished PerkinElmer Intracooler 2P can provide laboratories with access to established subambient DSC cooling technology without requiring the purchase of a new cooling accessory. Its dual-stage refrigeration architecture is designed specifically for demanding thermal-analysis applications where temperatures below ambient are required.

Refurbished thermal-analysis equipment can be useful for research laboratories, universities and industrial testing facilities when compatible legacy DSC systems are still in service. Before installation, the refrigeration circuit, compressor, temperature control, cooling line, electrical system and connection hardware should be professionally inspected and tested.

Additional Information

The photographed unit is a used/refurbished PerkinElmer Intracooler 2P. The unit shows visible cosmetic wear, dirt and staining. The exact electrical version, internal refrigeration condition, refrigerant circuit condition and included connection hardware should be verified before purchase.

The Intracooler 2P is an accessory rather than a standalone DSC analyzer and requires a compatible PerkinElmer DSC configuration and appropriate installation hardware for operation. PerkinElmer documentation states that the Intracooler connects to compatible DSC systems through a dedicated expansion chamber and insulated flexible line.
