Test Method: D5293
Refrigerated Coolers for Automobile Lubricants
• Heavy-duty refrigerated coolers for use with:
..........- Cold cranking simulator (CCS) by ASTM D5293
..............(formerly D2602)
..........- Mini-rotary viscometer (MRV) by ASTM D3829
..............and ASTM D4684
• Can cool both CCS and MRV simultaneously
• Two temperature operation with Model MRCC-3
• Continuous cold temperature operation between 0° and
.......-50°C, or 75°C
• Digital indicating PID temperature controller
• Up to 25 year old units are still in daily use

All models use a refrigeration system with two hermetic compressors in a cascade configuration for dependable long-term operation. Only chlorine free, ozone friendly refrigerant are used. Indicating temperature controller provides temperature stability of ±0.5°C. These baths are specifically designed to cool the CCS (cold cranking simulator) and the MRV (mini rotary viscometer) as per ASTM D5293 (formerly D2602) and ASTM D3829 and D4684, respectively.

Model MRCC-1 is a bench top cooler with a bath (7 liter) capable of accepting one recirculating pump for the delivery of cooling fluid to either the CCS or MRV instruments. It lowest operating temperature is -50°C.

Model MRCC-2 is identical to Model MRCC-1 but with a larger (13 liter) bath able to accept two recirculating pumps for the simultaneous delivery of cooling fluids to CCS and MRV instruments.

Model MRCC-3 is similar to Model MRCC-2, but has two independent 7 liter baths, each independently controlled, sharing a common refrigeration system. This unit allows the simultaneous operation of two CCS instruments, or two MRV, or one CCS and one MRV instrument testing at widely different temperatures.

Models MRCC-2-LT, -3-LT are identical to Model MRCC-2, and -3, respectively, but have the lowest operating temperature to -70°C.

Models MRCC-1V, -2V, -2V-LT, -3V, and -3V-LT are in bench space saving vertical configuration to conserve valuable bench top space, requiring only 2.8 square feet. They are equal to Models MRCC-1, -2, -2-LT, -3, -3-LT, respectively.

Model MRCC-80 is expressly designed for cooling up to 3 automated cloud and pour point analyzers. It can cool these analyzers to -51°C tests temperature.
