PLANT GROWTH CHAMBER
Plant growth chambers are designed to produce environmental conditions (humidity and temperature) that maximize plant growth. These chambers are also known as environmental chambers or seed germinator Applications includes plant breeding and genetic research, photosynthesis, nutrition, and other aspects of plant physiology.
ILLUMINATION
The plant growth chamber comes with a fluorescent lighting system used to simulate day and night testing. There are separate temperature and humidity set points that correspond with the lights on (day) and lights off (night). The set-points can also be made the same if continuous conditions are needed throughout the light cycles.
CABINET CONSTRUCTION
The cabinet of Chambers is insulated with high density CFC free Poly Urethane Foam. Interior of the chambers are mirror finish stainless Steel (304 SS, 0.8 mm thick). The exterior is white powder coated (1.0 mm thick) mild steel and the door has magnetic gasket with a keyed door lock. Specially designed solid stainless steel wire mesh trays ensure even temperature distribution and storage inside. GMP models are in total stainless steel (Inside S. S 304 with mirror finish and outside. S.S 304 dull finish and inner S.S316 is also available on request at extra cost ) and the unit is mounted on caster wheels for ease of mobility.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
The cooling is effected by CFC free refrigeration system with split type condensing unit located outside the room. Condensing units are characterised by high-efficiency heat transfer and low power consumption.
- CFC free refrigeration with time delay to safe guard the compressor .
- Inner grooved copper tubes and slit aluminium fins for superior heat transfer.
- Filter drier for moisture and dirt protection.
- Safety and control devices for better system protection.
- Thermally protected and permanently lubricated fan motors.
- Smaller footprint for ease of handling and installation.
PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER (PLC) SYSTEM
A programmable logic controller (PLC) is a digital computer used for automation of controlling electromechanical processes, such as control of Temperature, Relative Humidity, Standby systems and event management with less maintenance hence no moving parts.
- 4.3” HMI with color Display and touch screen.
- Configurable access for 72 users.
- Privilege based grouping.
- Multi level Password protected Human Machine Interface (HMI).
- Data storage to record set values, process values, date & time with variable time intervals.
- Display of set value and process value.
- High speed Ethernet connectivity .
- incorrect password attempt and user lock.
- Online data can be printed with date and time stamp.
- Non operational screen auto logout.
- Configurable maintenance reminder pop up alarm .
- Individual Alfa numeric user ID and password.
- User operation will be recorded and saved in memory.
- Online and offline Log reports on HMI.
- Safety cut off for over shoot and under shoot.
- Programmable alarms with event management.
- Precise control of temperature by using PID control Action.
- Data storage capacity up to 200000 readings.
- Self diagnostic system with error messages
