Chemglass OptiChem CG-15005-01 Heating Mantle Power Controller

Chemglass OptiChem CG-15005-01 Heating Mantle Power Controller

Chemglass OptiChem CG-15005-01 is a single-circuit heating mantle power controller for laboratory thermal equipment. Chemglass describes the CG-15005 series as compact benchtop controllers using solid-state proportional voltage power control for heating mantles, heating tapes, and other resistive loads. The exact CG-15005-01 version is listed by Chemglass as a 10 A, 1200 W, 120 VAC OptiChem heating mantle controller.

Applications

Laboratory heating of reaction vessels, distillation apparatus, reflux systems, evaporative processes, and other procedures using compatible resistive heating loads. The proportional control approach allows the operator to adjust the electrical power delivered to the load rather than operating the heating source only at full output.

Workflow Context

In a laboratory setup, the controller is connected to the heating mantle or other resistive load and to the electrical supply. Chemglass documentation describes adjustment through the controller’s power setting, allowing the heating process to be controlled at the bench. The manufacturer’s electrical rating should be checked against the actual laboratory load before use.

Chemglass positions this controller as a benchtop component for proportional power adjustment rather than as a temperature-sensing instrument. The controller regulates power to the connected resistive load; the laboratory procedure and heating system determine how the resulting thermal response is monitored and managed.
