2. Chamber description

The alternating climate cham ber MK / MKT is a s pecially developed precision cooling/warming cabinet f or the domain of industr ial mat erial testing and environm ent sim ulation, with an unrivalled capacity, which far exceeds the capabilities of norm al test cabinets, providing the ideal facilities for solving all the problems which occur during material as well as ageing and stress tests.
The chambers ar e equipped with a multifunctional microproces sor display controller for temperature with a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree. W ith its com prehensive progr am contr ol functions, the display program controller MB2 perm its the high precision perf ormance of temperatur e cycles with rapid heating up and cooling down phases.
The patented APT.line™ preheating cham ber and air conduction technology guarantees excellent spatial temperature values for the total working area. T he chamber is equipped with a powerful refrigerating sys­tem permitting rapid cooling-down speeds. In addition, it provides almost unlim ited poss ibilities f or adapt a­tion to individual customer requirements based upon extensive programming options.
The high-quality housing insulation guarantees both a low noise mode of operation and a consistently low housing temperature. T he inner chamber, the pre-heating cham ber and the interior side of the doors are all made of stainless steel V2A (Germ an material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). When operating the chamber at temper atures above 150 °C / 302°F, the impact of the oxygen in the air may cause discol­oration of the metallic surfac es (yellowish-brown or blue) by natural oxidation processes. These colora­tions are harmless and will in no way impair the function or quality of the chamber. The hous ing is RAL 7035 powder-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.
The efficient program controller is equipped with a m ultitude of operat ing functions , in addition to recorder and alarm functions. Pr ogramming of test cycles is easily accomplished via the modern touchscreen dis­play controller MB2 and is also pos sible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the APT­COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option, chap. 20.1) . The chamber comes regularly equipped with an Ethernet serial interface for com puter communication. In addition, the BINDER APT-COM™ 4 Multi Management Software (option) perm its networking up to 100 chambers and connecting them to a PC for controlling and programming, as well as rec or ding and repres enting temperature data. For further options, see chap. 24.6.
