BINDER is expanding its range of dynamic climate chambers for temperature and humidity testing in North and Central America. The MK CO₂ series is designed for temperature cycling, while MKF CO₂ adds humidity control up to 98% RH. Both series are available in sizes 240, 400, 720 and 1020.
Faster cool-downs across both series
The new MK CO₂ and MKF CO₂ chambers reduce cool-down times by up to 50% compared with the previous generation, depending on the model. For example, the MK 720 CO₂ and MKF 720 CO₂ each cool from +180 °C to −40 °C in just 60 minutes. Shorter transitions can save time during repeated test cycles.
The new models also extend the lower end of the temperature range. Sizes 240 and 400 can be set to −50 °C for up to eight hours; sizes 720 and 1020 reach −48 °C. All models operate at temperatures up to +180 °C.
Four sizes and high heat compensation
With interior volumes from 228 to 991 L, the chambers accommodate different sample sizes and test setups. Heat compensation is especially relevant when testing powered components. For example, the MK 720 CO₂ delivers a maximum heat compensation capacity of 6,100 W at 25 °C.
Extensive standard equipment
A heated viewing window with interior lighting, casters, a stainless-steel rack and access ports are included as standard. The number and size of the access ports vary by model. Test profiles can be programmed using the touchscreen controller. An internal data logger, USB and Ethernet interfaces, and APT-COM™ Multi Management Software support test documentation.
Both series use CO₂ (R744) as their refrigerant. With a global warming potential (GWP) of 1, the refrigerant supports organizations seeking to integrate sustainability considerations into equipment purchasing and reporting.
