2. Chamber description

BINDER incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED and FD are equipped with an electronic PID­controller with digital displa y.

The incubators BD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of a tenth of a degree.
The drying and heating ovens ED and FD indicate the temperature with an accuracy of one

degree.

The chambers are heated electrically. Incubators BD and drying and heating ovens ED are ventilated
naturally. Drying and heati n g ovens FD are ventilated by fan-assisted, forced-air circulation.

The APT.line™ preheating cham ber s ystem guarantee s high level of s patial a nd tim e-based tem perature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed a ir circulation into the interior . With FD, the fan supports
exact attainment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.

The chambers are regularly equipped with a temperature safety device according to DIN12880:2007
(chap. 7).

The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the inside of the doors are all made of stainless s teel
V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the drying and heating
ovens ED an d FD at t emper atures abov e 150 °C / 302 °F, the impact of the oxyg en in the air ma y cause
discoloration of the metallic surfaces (yellowish-brown or blue) by natural oxidation processes. These
colorations are harmles s and will in no way impair the function or quality of the chamber. The housing is
RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.

All chamber f unctions are easy and comfor table to use thanks to their cle ar arrangem ent. Major f eatures
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
