Environmental test chambers from the APT.line™

MK 53 (E2.1)

Environmental test chamber for complex temperature profiles

This series covers the classic temperature range between -40 °C (-40 °F) and 180 °C (356 °F) for heat and refrigeration tests – with the added benefit of natural simulation by means of preheating chamber technology and the Horizontal Air Flow Design. Unique technology, developed by BINDER.With these features, the MK series thus meets the highest precision and performance requirements for cyclic temperature tests and presents an intelligent alternative to expensive individual solutions.

All technical specification are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 ºC (77 ºF) and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. All data are determined at 100 % fan speed. The temperature data are determinated 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 values have been specified at a fan speed of 100 %. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.
