Science / Engineering / Chemistry? Photography / Homebrewing / Pets? Any ways to heat a liquid to 50c for a week?
Ways to accurately heat roughly a gallon of fluid for a long period of time?
I am looking for a way to heat a gallon (5 liters) or so of fluid and maintain that temperature accurately for a week. I have been looking a laboratory spec Water Baths but are two expensive for my cause. Hoping to spend around 50 euros. Was also looking at fish tank heaters but they only heat to 34degrees Celsius. Need to heat fluid to about 50 degrees Celsius. Please help in anyway. Its for my final year project in college. Thanks.

you're going to have to spend more than 50 euros to get those results dude. a hotplate with temperature control is the best way to go for you, but they're expensive. best thing I can think of right now, is to take a pot of water, set it on a hotplate, and then rig a smaller container inside of the large pot so that it is suspended(ie: not touching the sides or bottom of the large pot). once you do this, start experimenting with the proper heat setting to maintain 50 degrees. once you have that down, begin your science experiment, and remember to refill the media water daily. also- a gallon is 3.96 liters.

Please ask this again, providing more details.
What, exactly, you are needing to heat is important. Some things can't be heated by infrared, while others need heat transferred to the liquid over a given area to avoid destabilizing effects caused by hot-spots in the heat source.
Ask the question again, and fill us is.
Very suspicious as it sits now.
