New Constant Climate Chamber HPP with Light

The Memmert constant climate chamber literally is the brightest star of the Schwabach-based company’s product portfolio. In response to requests from many customers, from February 2011 on, Memmert are offering a light module for the constant climate chamber, with which applications such as germination, plant cultivation or insect breeding will be possible under daylight conditions and under a constant climate. As an alternative, customers can choose white light with a temperature of 5,500 Kelvin (CIE standard illuminant D55) or a combination of white and warm white light with 2,700 Kelvin, dimmable in steps of 10%.

For this, the experts in thermostatics from southern Germany rely entirely on an energy saving and eco-friendly LED light source, which has already been used by NASA for experiments in plant cultivation in space. Compared with conventional illuminants, LEDs benefit the environment in two ways: through their lower energy consumption right from the start and through their lower heat emission to the front, reducing the energy needed to cool the working chamber. In the constant climate chamber HPP, heating and cooling of the interior is done with high-precision Peltier technology, already used successfully by Memmert for 10 years in several different appliances. Apart from the constant climate chamber HPP, the cooled incubator IPP, the storage chamber IPS and the CDP 115 waterbath cooling unit are all based on this energyefficient and eco-friendly technology.
