Heat Up Transition Time (empty)*
Start Temp End Temp
+23°C +50°C +85°C
+23°C ----- 1.5 min 6 min
0°C 2 min 4 min 7.5 min
-20°C 3 min 5 min 8 min
-40°C 4.5 min 7.5 min 11 min

Rate Of Change
To calculate rate of change for a particular condition, take the difference between the Start Temp and End Temp and divide by the Transition Time.
Cool Down Example (empty): From +85°C to -20°C = 105°C / 17 min = 6.18°C/min.
Heat Up Example: From -40°C to +85°C = 125°C / 11 min = 11.36°C/min.

*Note: Transition times are measured after a 30 minute soak at the respective start temperature.

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 will result in decreased cooling performance. Low end limit derates to -38°C when operating above 27°C (80°F) ambient. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient is not recommended.
