Heating and Cooling Integrated Machine
This category covers 23 DFY-series heating and cooling integrated machines, from DFY-5 through DFY-50 frames in -30 and -40 versions, including 220V and 380V builds of the DFY-50-30. One unit acts as both heater and heating cooling circulator, so a jacketed glass reactor can shift between exotherm control and reflux without swapping equipment. To match a high and low temperature integrated machine to your reactor volume, send us your process specs.

Customer parameter sheets cover GDX and DFY heating and cooling integrated machine families with model-level temperature-control data.
Heating and Cooling Integrated Machine Full-Series Specification Comparison
Every DFY and GDX heating and cooling integrated machine in this category is compared below on temperature window, voltage, power draw, reservoir volume, stated control accuracy and — for GDX units — the reactor volume each machine is matched to, with each model linked to its product page.
Values are aggregated from the specification tables and parameter sheets published on each UnionClay product page. A dash means the page does not publish that value. Complete parameters, safety protection data and connector details are on each linked product page.
Series snapshot from the table: 24 pages — 11 DFY models, 12 GDX models and the dynamic system overview. Published power runs 1.6KW to 17KW on 220V or 380V, 50Hz. Reservoirs span 1-2L to 50L. Control accuracy splits cleanly: ±0.1℃ across the DFY line, ±1℃ across GDX, with ±1℃ temperature stability stated on both. GDX matched-reactor pairings cover 1-5L through 100L jacketed vessels.
How to Choose Between DFY and GDX
The DFY/GDX split is sharper than the names suggest. DFY machines stop at 99℃ on the hot side but publish ±0.1℃ control accuracy. GDX machines reach 160℃ to 200℃ with ±1℃ stated accuracy, and their pages list a matched reactor volume from 1-5L up to 100L. So the first question is not how big the machine should be — it is whether the process ever runs above 99℃. Answer that and half the table drops out. For work below -40℃ or above 200℃, the Dynamic Temperature Control System page covers -80℃ to 200℃ with 300℃ optional on selected configurations.
Above or below 99℃
DFY tops out at 99℃; GDX reaches 160℃ on the 5-class and 200℃ on the rest. Jacket heating beyond 99℃ puts you in the GDX half of the table immediately — no DFY configuration changes that.
Control accuracy trade-off
DFY publishes ±0.1℃ control accuracy, GDX publishes ±1℃; both lines state ±1℃ temperature stability. Chemistry that depends on a tight setpoint argues for DFY — accepting its 99℃ ceiling is the trade for that accuracy column.
Matching a jacketed reactor
GDX pages publish the pairing directly: GDX-5 for 1-5L reactors, GDX-20 and GDX-10 for 10-20L, GDX-30 for 30L, GDX-100 for 100L. Use that column instead of guessing from reservoir volume — the GDX reservoirs (1-2L to 35L) are smaller than the reactors they serve.
Voltage and power planning
220V,50Hz covers the smaller and most -30 units; the bigger frames and most -40 builds run 380V,50Hz. At the top end the GDX-100 pair draws up to 17KW — that is a supply-line conversation with the facility, not just a socket check.
Worked read of the table: a 30L jacketed glass reactor cycling between -20℃ and 120℃. The 120℃ requirement removes the whole DFY line; the matched reactor column points at GDX-30-30 (-30℃ to 200℃, 220V, 6.3KW) or GDX-30-40 (-40℃ to 200℃, 380V, 7.7KW); the remaining question is only whether -30℃ covers the cold phase with margin. Temperature window first, pairing second, voltage last.
Frame-by-Frame Notes from the Published Tables
DFY 5 and 10-class
Both run 220V,50Hz at 1.6KW to 3.3KW with 5L and 10L reservoirs, the full -30/-40 to 99℃ window and the line’s signature ±0.1℃ control accuracy. For bench jacketed vessels that never cross 99℃, this corner of the table is usually the whole conversation.
DFY 20 to 50-class
Power climbs from 4.3KW to 7.5KW and the -40 builds move to 380V. One detail buyers miss: the DFY-50-30 frame is published in separate 380V and 220V versions — the only frame in the table with an explicit catalog voltage choice, which matters when the facility supply is fixed.
GDX 5 to 30-class
2.9KW to 7.7KW, reservoirs from 1-2L to 10L, and direct matched-reactor pairings: 1-5L on the 5-class, 10-20L on the 10 and 20-class, 30L on the 30-class. Ceilings run 160℃ on the GDX-5 pair and 200℃ above it — the high-temperature half of the catalog starts here.
GDX 50 and 100-class
The pilot frames: 11.5KW to 17KW on 380V, matched to 50L and 100L jacketed reactors, with 200℃ ceilings. At 17KW the GDX-100 pair is a facility-planning item — supply line, breaker and heat rejection all belong in the inquiry, not the installation day.
One Loop, Both Directions
The job description for this category comes from its own applications list: jacketed glass reactor control, stainless reactor control, chemical synthesis temperature cycling and pilot process temperature control. One machine drives both heating and cooling phases through the same jacket loop, which is exactly why the GDX pages are sized by the reactor on the other end rather than by their own reservoirs.
What these pages do not publish: heating and cooling capacity curves over the temperature range, and the recommended thermal fluid for each window. Both are working-condition dependent — state the reactor volume, the temperature window and the ramp expectations in the inquiry and ask for the matching duty data with the quote.
Mistakes This Table Is Built to Prevent
Sizing from the reservoir column
GDX reservoirs run 1-2L to 35L while their matched reactors run 1-5L to 100L — the reservoir is loop inventory, not capability. The matched reactor column is the published sizing tool; use it.
Expecting any frame to pass 99℃
The DFY line stops at 99℃ in every configuration. Heating duties above that line live only in GDX territory — no option or accessory on a DFY page changes its ceiling.
Reading stability as accuracy
Both lines publish ±1℃ temperature stability, but control accuracy differs tenfold: ±0.1℃ DFY against ±1℃ GDX. Processes that live on a setpoint should compare the accuracy column, not the stability one.
Treating 17KW as a plug-in detail
The GDX-100 pair draws up to 17KW on 380V. That is a supply-line and breaker conversation with the facility before ordering — the power column is there to start it early.
Quote Checklist for This Category
Answer the table’s own columns and the quotation is one round instead of three:
- Jacketed reactor volume and jacket connections — the matched reactor column does the sizing
- Highest process temperature — above 99℃ eliminates the DFY line outright
- Setpoint sensitivity — ±0.1℃ (DFY) against ±1℃ (GDX) is the real trade
- Lowest temperature: -30 or -40 variant, or the -80℃ dynamic system page
- Site voltage and supply capacity — 17KW at the top of the table is not a socket decision
- Thermal fluid expectations for the window — the value the pages leave to quotation
Selection FAQ
DFY or GDX — which integrated machine fits a jacketed glass reactor?
Match the reactor jacket volume against the Matched reactor column first: GDX pages pair directly with 1-5L up to 100L vessels. If the reaction never goes above 99℃ and the setpoint matters more than the ceiling, compare the same frame class in the DFY line with its published ±0.1℃ control accuracy.
What temperature range do these machines actually cover?
DFY units run -30℃ or -40℃ up to 99℃. GDX units run -30℃ or -40℃ up to 160℃ or 200℃. The Dynamic Temperature Control System page extends the family to -80℃ through 200℃, with 300℃ optional on selected configurations.
Why do GDX machines list a matched reactor volume?
Because that is how buyers actually size them — by the jacketed vessel on the other end of the loop, not by the machine’s own reservoir. Share the reactor volume, jacket connections and target temperature window with UnionClay and the pairing comes back from this table.
