Start Temp End Temp
+23°C 0°C -40°C -55°C -65°C -73°C
+85°C 18°C/minute 14°C/minute 12°C/minute 11°C/minute 10°C/minute Ultimate
+150°C 16°C/minute 15°C/minute 12°C/minute 11°C/minute 10°C/minute Ultimate
Cooling Ramp Rate with LN2 Boost and Compressors* 20°C/minute from +85°C to -40°C
Heating Ramp Rate* 17°C/minute from -40°C to +85°C
* Note: Ramp rates are measured at the control sensor after a 2 hour soak at the respective start temperature with an empty chamber, as indicated on the temperature controller, 23°C ambient. Measured with setpoint beyond the start and end temperatures. Does not include the effect of proportional band when approaching setpoint.

Condenser Air Cooled
Heat of Rejection 27,500 BTUH (maximum rated chamber load at maximum cooling rate from high temperature soak)
Heater Power 6,000 Watts @ 208 V input
Air Flow 550 CFM total airflow. Two forward curved, 300 series stainless steel, dynamically balanced blower wheels with machined hubs. The blower assemblies also include formed stainless steel inlet rings to provide high velocity airflow throughout the workspace, driven by two heavy-duty motors.
Instrumentation
Temperature Controller Watlow F4T Touch Screen Controller with RS-232, Ethernet interface, 4.3" color graphic touch screen. OR...
Watlow F4 Controller with RS-232 interface, LED readout of temperature, LCD display of other parameters.
Limit Controller Independent high and low temperature limits. Triggers an audible alarm and shuts down the chamber. Relay contacts provide a safety power interlock for test sample.
Chart Recorder (Optional) Honeywell DR4300 Series. One pen, 10" circular chart. Mounts in lower front door.

Input Power Requirements


230 V ±10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase Max Current Draw 39 A; Recommended Service 50 A
208 V -5/+10%, 60 Hz, 3 Phase Max Current Draw 35 A; Recommended Service 45 A

Input may be configured for 230 V or 208 V in the field by changing jumpers. Three phase load is balanced. Customer power source must be hard-wired to the chamber by a qualified electrician. Power cord and plug is not included.

NOTE: Performance is typical and based on operation at 23°C (73°F) ambient and nominal input voltage. Designed for use in a normal conditioned laboratory. Operation at higher ambient temperatures may result in decreased cooling performance. Additional ports and shelves will also affect performance. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient is not recommended.

Due to continuous product improvements, specifications subject to change without notice.
