1.6 Intended use

Refrigerated incubators KT are suitable for exact conditioning of harmless materials. Because of their precise temperature accuracy these devices are especially useful for cultivation of microorganisms with a narrow temperature optimum in a range of 4 °C / 39.2°F to 37 °C / 98.6°F. Main fields of application are tests of long-term storage (e.g. at 4 °C / 39.2°F), refrigerated incubation between 20 °C / 68°F and 25 °C / 77°F and incubation at 37 °C / 98.6°F (also with additional introduction of heat) or with alternating temperatures (e.g. 37 °C / 98.6°F and 4 °C / 39.2°F).

A mixture of any component of the charging material with air must NOT be explosive. The operating temperature must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.

Following the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work (chap. 20.1) are part of the intended use.

The charging material shall not contain any corrosive ingredients that may damage the machine components made of stainless steel, aluminum, and copper. Such ingredients include in particular acids and halides. Any corrosive damage caused by such ingredients is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH.

WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continuous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is feasible.

2. Unit description

A high level of precision, reliability, and safety for all growth parameters ensures optimum incubation conditions. Moreover, the KT refrigerated incubator is designed for maximum usability – even in continuous operation year after year. It fulfills all technical and application-specific requirements arising in experimentation such as in the areas of biotechnology, medicine, the nutrition industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, botany, and zoology.

Two important temperature technologies have been combined to achieve perfect temperature control. The Peltier refrigerating system, in conjunction with the APT.line™ preheating chamber technology, satisfies the unique prerequisites for attaining highly-precise temperature control and particularly short recovery times after opening the door.

The refrigerating system is distinguished by direct, precise, and rapid temperature conduction. Due to the Peltier cooling, shocks are omitted which would occur during start and stop of conventional refrigeration systems with a compressor.

The APT.line™ preheating chamber system ensures high level of spatial and time-based temperature precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. This is especially important for maintaining temperatures – especially with full chambers – and for rapid restoration of optimum growth conditions after opening the door. The inner glass door ensures that the temperature remains constant when observing the incubation process. The air turbine supports exact attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy. The fan speed is digitally adjustable. The heating and refrigerating systems are microprocessor regulated to a tenth of a degree. In addition, the refrigerated incubator provides almost unlimited possibilities for adaptation to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming options and on the week program timer and real time clock of the controller.

All unit functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features are easy cleaning of all unit parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.

The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless steel (material no. 1.4301 (V2A) in Germany, US equivalent 304). The housing is RAL 7035 powdercoated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.

The refrigerated incubator KT comes equipped with an Ethernet interface for computer communication, e.g. via the communication software APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 19.1). For further options, see chap. 23.5.

Temperature range with an ambient temperature of 25 °C / 77 °F: +4 °C / 23 °F up to +100 °C / 212 °F

9.3 Creating a new time program

For each program section you can enter a temperature set-point, the fan speed, the section’s duration, the type of temperature transition “R” (ramp) or “S” (step) (see chap. 9.3.6), and the tolerance range.

When changing the temperature set-point, check the setting of the safety controller (chap. 17) if the safety controller has been set to “limit” mode.

If the fan is operated with less than 100 % speed, the temperature performance and the spatial exactitude of the temperature can differ from the manufacturer’s specifications. The fan speed rate should only be reduced if absolutely necessary to meet special requirements.

Programming is saved in case of a power failure or after turning off the unit.

Time program editor.

Sections 2 and 3 will be executed in total 31 times; only then will the program continue.

9.3.5 Tolerance range

You can specify a tolerance range for each program section with different values for the tolerance minimum and maximum. When the actual value exceeds the given threshold, the program is interrupted. This is indicated on the display, see chap. 9.4. When the actual temperature is situated again within the entered tolerance limits, the program automatically continues. Therefore, the duration of the program may be extended due to the programming of tolerances.

Programming of tolerances may extend program duration.

An entry of “-999” for the tolerance minimum means “minus infinite” and an entry of “999” for the tolerance maximum means “plus infinite”. Entry of these values will never lead to program interruption.

When requesting a rapid temperature transition, we recommend not programming tolerance values in order to enable the maximum heating-up or cooling-down speed.

Start with the minimum value:

9.3.6 Set-point ramp and set-point step modes

“Ramp” mode

The set-point of a given program section functions as the section’s start temperature. During the section’s duration, the temperature set-point gradually passes to the set-point of the subsequent program section. The actual temperature value follows the continually changing set-point. If the last program section is in “ramp” mode, then you must program an additional section to provide the target temperature. Otherwise, the corresponding section would be incomplete, i.e., the program would stop one section too early.

Programming in the “ramp” mode allows various kinds of temperature transitions:

• Gradual slow temperature changes

The set-point changes its value gradually during the entered section duration. The actual temperature value (X) follows the continually moving set-point (W) at any time.

• Constant temperature

The initial values of two subsequent program sections are identical; so the temperature remains constant during the duration of the first program section.

• Sudden temperature changes

These changes occur rapidly within the minimum amount of time (minimum entry: 1 second).

“Step” mode

The set-point of any program section functions as the section’s target temperature. At the start of the program section, the unit heats up or cools down with the maximum speed to reach the entered value; and then it holds it for the remaining section time. The set-point temperature remains constant for the section’s duration.
