Plant growth chambers from the APT.line™

KBWF 240 (E5.1)

Plant growth chamber with optimal climatic conditions

The closest thing to natural conditions. Making use of the multifaceted programming options, we achieve perfect interaction between heat or cold, humidity and light. This wide climatic range can simulate any climatic condition precisely and constant over extended periods of time, including natural lighting conditions and day-night simulation.

1. Tap water [municipal] with a max. hardness of 8.0° dH = 1.4285 mmol/l.
    (The hardness can be established from the water analysis of your water supplier.)

2. We recommend the BINDER Pure Aqua Service for longer maintenance intervals, regardless of water quality.

3. Demineralized or deionized water available at the customers location.

1) Lower values are valid up to an ambient temperature of max. 25 °C (77 °F)
2) Average value, measured with a spherical sensor (±10%) by 12 cm (4.7 inch) below the light cassette. The values given in W/m² refer to global radiation.
3) Use this value for dimensioning air condition systems
 

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data are determinated in ccordance 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. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical  specifications at all times.
