Plant growth chambers from the APT.line™

KBW 240 (E5.1)

Plant growth chamber with optimal lighting conditions

Precision combined with maximum dynamics. KBW exceeds any requirements with respect to optimal lighting and temperature conditions for exactly defined culture processes. Extremely short reaction times keep all growth parameters in equilibrium - natural simulation as never before. Handling is truly enhanced by the integrated week program timer function in the controller.

1) Lower values are valid up to an ambient temperature of max.  25 °C (77 °F)
2) up to 98 % of the set value
3) average value, measured with a spherical sensor 12 cm (4.7 inch) below the light cassette. The values given in W/m² refer to global radiation
4) these energy consumption values can be used upon calculation of air conditioning systems

All technical data is specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F) and a mains 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. Technical data refers to 100 % fan speed. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.
