Heat compensation
1) These values can be used for dimensioning air condition systems.
All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a line voltage fluctuation of ±10%. The temperature data is determined in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880, respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10% of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All figures are typical average values for series devices. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at any time.
Water cooling
For lower energy consumption and increased energy efficiency: The waste heat from the cooling system is reduced by controlling dissipation and the cooling capacity of the unit is increased. The ambient temperature increases less and heat compensation as well as switching rates improve.
BINDER PURE AQUA SERVICE
This convenient and flexible water treatment system extends maintenance intervals and is easily implemented independent of water quality.
The specific advantage: Point-of-use system with water quality display and replaceable filter cartridge.
Notch-type access port in door
Provides easy connection of cables to test specimens and facilitates loading and unloading of the chamber. Doors have access ports measuring 100 x 35 mm, which can be sealed with the included silicone plugs.
Temperature measurement of the specimen
Additional measuring channel for digital display of specimen temperature, with flexible PT 100 temperature sensor. Measuring data recorded through device interface.
