Unitemp has launched a constant temperature and humidity chamber designed to cater for the requirements of industry, laboratories and research facilities.
The cabinet is manufactured by Japan-based ESPEC and is designated the LHU-123.
The product has a wide temperature of -20C to 85C and a relative humidity range of 40-95 per cent RH with a temperature of +/-0.5C and +/-3 per cent RH.
The efficient refrigerating system and high-quality thermal insulation create a stable chamber environment with a temperature and humidity uniformity of +/-2C and +/-6 per cent RH.
Power consumption is 11.7A.
The intuitive control panel is situated beneath the access door.
Program operation can be constant or controlled via installed instrumentation; it can be run up to nine steps per pattern and can specify ramp time for each step.
The digital display shows conditions and remaining time during operation.
The LHU-123 model's cross-control system lowers the maximum current during operation, reducing the amount of required power.
The humidifier is a sheathed heater, while the refrigeration unit is a mechanical air-cooled system using eco-friendly R404A refrigerant.
Built with a stainless steel interior and a loading capacity of 206 litres, the inside dimensions are 500 x 750 x 590mm (WxHxD).
Safety features include leakage breaker for power supply, boil dry protector, upper/lower temperature and humidity alarms and watchdog timer.
Optional extras are specimen power supply control terminal, inner glass door and castors for ease of movement.
Unitemp has the ability to customise chambers to order.
