The VWR Model 1173-PD Recirculating Chiller delivers efficient cooling with a positive displacement pump providing flow rates up to 1 gallon per minute. Designed for precise temperature control, this compact and portable chiller efficiently recirculates coolant through laboratory instruments such as rotary evaporators, multi-condensers, and many more. By removing excess heat generated during experiments, it ensures stable and controlled temperatures, protecting equipment and supporting sensitive processes.
With a powerful ½ HP compressor, the chiller achieves increased cooling capacity, operating at 750W at 0°C. Its temperature range spans from -10°C to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) and can be easily adjusted via the user-friendly control panel. The brightly lit digital display provides real-time temperature readings, along with pressure and flow rate monitoring at the touch of a button, enhancing user convenience.
The VWR Recirculating Chiller 1173-PD’s positive displacement pump powers a flow rate of up to 3.75 liters per minute (1 gallon per minute) with a maximum adjustable pressure of 100 psi. Although positive displacement pumps offer less flow compared to magnetic centrifuge pumps, they provide the higher pressure necessary for demanding applications. This makes the chiller suitable for tasks such as laser etching, reaction vessels, plasma etching, AA furnaces, ICPs, rotary evaporators, condensers, and vacuum systems.
Using the VWR 1173-PD Chiller instead of a tap water solution helps reduce water consumption and minimizes maintenance associated with scale buildup. Its reliable cooling performance, compact size, and user-friendly operation make it a valuable addition to laboratories requiring precise temperature regulation. This chiller not only enhances productivity but also protects essential equipment, contributing to successful research and efficient processes across various scientific fields.
This VWR 1173-PD is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications.
While we can’t test for a specific analytical application, we will do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be run.
Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will gladly work with you to ensure these requirements are addressed during testing.

Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty.
Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality.
We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing.
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier.
All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.
For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place.
Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage. You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave.
