2. Chamber description
A high level of precision, reliability, and safety for all growth parameters ensures optimum incubation
conditions. Moreover , the KT cooling i ncubator is designed f or 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 conjunc tion with the APT .line™ preheating chamber technology, satisf ies
the unique prerequisites for attaining highly-precise temperature control and particularly short recovery
times after opening the door.
The refrigerating s ystem is dis tingu ished b y direc t, pr ec ise, and r apid tem perature conduct ion . Due to the
Peltier cooling, s hocks are om itted which would occ ur during start and stop of c onventional refrigerat ion
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 temper atures – especially with full cham bers – and for rapid restor ation of optimum growth
conditions after ope ning the door. The inner glass door ensures that the tem perature 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 microprocess or regulated to a te nth of a degree. In addition, the chamber provides alm ost 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 chamber f unctions are easy and comf ortable to us e thanks to the ir clear arra ngement. Maj or features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
The inner chamber , the pre-heating cham ber and the interior si de of the doors a re all made of stainles s
steel V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). The housing is RAL 7035 powder-coated.
All corners and edges are also completely coated.
The chambers come equipped with an Ethernet interfac e for computer comm unication, e.g. via the APTCOM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 19.1). For further options, see chap. 23.5.
Temperature range with an ambient temperature of +22 °C +/- 3 °C / 71.6 °F +/- 5.4 °F:
+4 °C / 23 °F up to +100 °C / 212 °F
Fan speed range with temperature values from 4 °C up to 70 °C: 40 % up to100 %
Fan speed with temperature values above 70 °C: 100 %
