All latest amendments, if any, to be referred while referring any Indian Standard.

Application:

Construction Details:

CE Certified
Designed as per ICH guidelines to meet, WHO and USFDA requirement
Fulfills storage conditions of 25° C ‑ 60% RH, 40° C ‑ 75% RH, 30° C ‑ 65% RH, 25° C ‑ 40% RH, 30° C ‑ 35% RH
Double wall construction
Interior fabricated from high grade polished stainless steel (S.S. 304).
Exterior body is also fabricated from matt finished Stainless Steel (S.S. - 304 Grade)
Full size polycarbonate sheet inner door to inspect samples without affecting the chamber temperature.
Properties of polycarbonate sheet door (Unbreakable, Un‑scratchable, High temperature resistant, Robust, Air tight and Transparent)
Double walled metal door will have window and rubber gasket with wiper to prevent air leakage.
Electrical wiring as per CE Compliances
Chamber illumination is accomplished by Fluorescent light with door switch.
Cord wire duly tested and inspected with stress factor as per CE standard
Electric Motor located at the back side of unit, protected with safety cover to avoid accident
Standard motor of reputed companies ‑ such as MARATHON/GE/CG/Equivalent Make
User friendly and tactfully designed chamber door and locking mechanism
Aesthetic outer appearance and high quality
capable of achieving uniform temperature/ humidity.

Insulation:

70mm polyurethane insulation (PUF)/ fiberboard to ensure better insulation and less leakage of temperature or RH from inner body to the surroundings.

Air Circulation:

Temperature is maintained by a quiet running blower circulation air throughout the chamber. Forced air circulated vertically down and re circulated throughout the chamber for uniform temperature and humidity.

Humidity:

Humidity created by steam injection method. The boiler tank is fitted in the back side of the chamber for better servicing, Electromagnetic switch for controlling the wet heater from burning off if water level is not adequate. Float valve provided to control water level in the boiler tank.

Heating & Cooling System:

Long lasting SS tubular heaters used as heating element. The stainless steel fins provided to ensure better heat transfer.

Hermetically sealed compressor CFC free compressor (134 A gas) coupled with evaporation coil and condenser.

Trays for samples:

Manufactured from strong S.S. Rods to with‑stand heavy load of test specimens

Such trays also facilitates better air circulation

The distance between trays will be 15‑20 centimeters

Control:

Microprocessor based Digital Auto‑Tune PID temperature and direct RH digital controller. Humidity directly measured in % RH by electronic sensor.

Safety Features:

High temperature safety cut off
Low water level boiler cut off
Electrical overload cut off
Time delay for compressor switch ON
Electrical circuit breaker

Water filling arrangement :

will have metallic (rust free) float valve arrangement in the tank to ensure auto-filling arrangement if it connected with water source or it should have adequate size of tank with water level indicator to ensure continues running for up to 5 days unattended.

Operating conditions:

Since the plywood samples will be kept in the humidity chamber the humidifier will not wet the area of the conditioning chamber since plywood samples, which to be kept for constant mass conditioning, properties may change due to excessive humidity.
