Envirotherm Temperature and Humidity Cabinet TEC

Overview

With the ability to produce climate conditions similar to specimens' native environments, it's only natural that you'd choose our Envirotherm cabinets to store your samples. Robust and reliable, our cabinets' refrigeration systems can simulate temperatures from -30°C to +120°C with a 30–95% relative humidity range, and offer 600 watts of heat removal capacity. Whether you're conducting material testing or climate testing, you can be confident that your equipment is keeping your samples safe. Even if you need to open the door, the cabinet's fast recovery time will limit any temperature fluctuations, maintaining uniform conditions throughout the chamber enclosure.

Key Features

• Temperature and Humidity Control: Simulates temperatures from -30°C to +120°C with a 30–95% relative humidity range.
• Fast Recovery Time: Minimises temperature fluctuations when the door is opened, maintaining uniform conditions.
• Constant Airflow: Ensures conditions remain uniform throughout the enclosure, with alarms to alert if deviations from setpoints occur.

Advanced Control System

Powered by our STAR X touchscreen control system, you can easily and precisely control the cabinet's temperature, humidity, and optional carbon dioxide. The STAR X system offers:

• Real-Time Synchronisation: Allows the operator to synchronise programmed settings to real time.
• Ethernet Connectivity: Enables the operator to perform all functions via a PC.
• Data Logging: Logs the performance of the cabinet to onboard memory, holding up to 365 days of data. A live trend screen allows quick performance checks, and logged data can be downloaded to a USB flash drive for archiving or review via a PC using simple spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel.

Sizes and Build

Australian-made, our cabinets are available in single door 460L and double door 850L capacities, so you can choose the size that suits your samples. The cabinets are built with high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability.

Benefits

1. Precision Climate Control: Ensures accurate simulation of native environments for your specimens, enhancing the reliability of your testing and storage conditions.
2. High Capacity and Versatility: Available in 460L and 850L capacities, these cabinets cater to a wide range of sample sizes and types.
3. Advanced Monitoring and Data Logging: The STAR X control system provides comprehensive monitoring, data logging, and easy access to performance data, ensuring optimal conditions for your samples.
4. Fan-Forced Air Circulation: Both TEC cabinets feature fan-forced air circulation. This results in a temperature spatial uniformity of +/-2.0°C (unloaded) and quick recovery times after door openings.   
5. Options: Additional stainless steel shelving, water feed tank, viewing window solid door, CO2 control.

Environmental chambers are vital for simulating a wide range of environmental conditions to test the durability, reliability, and performance of products and materials. Here are some common uses for environmental chambers:

1. Product Testing and Development

• Stress Testing: Simulates extreme conditions such as high and low temperatures, humidity, and rapid temperature changes to test the limits of products.
• Accelerated Aging: Speeds up the aging process of products to predict their lifespan and identify potential weaknesses.
• Quality Assurance: Ensures that products meet industry standards and perform reliably under various environmental conditions before they are released to the market.

2. Material Testing

• Durability and Strength: Assesses how materials such as metals, plastics, and composites withstand different environmental stresses, including temperature fluctuations and humidity.
• Corrosion Testing: Evaluates the resistance of materials to corrosion by exposing them to humid and saline conditions.
• Thermal Cycling: Tests materials for thermal expansion, contraction, and the effects of repeated temperature changes.

3. Electronics and Semiconductor Industry

• Thermal Shock Testing: Ensures electronic components can withstand sudden and extreme temperature changes without failure.
• Humidity Testing: Tests the resilience of electronic devices to high humidity levels, which can cause malfunctions or corrosion.
• Operational Life Testing: Simulates long-term use conditions to assess the reliability and longevity of electronic products.

4. Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology

• Stability Testing: Determines the shelf life and stability of pharmaceuticals and biotech products under various environmental conditions.
• Biological Research: Provides controlled environments for growing and testing biological specimens, including cells, tissues, and microorganisms.
• Compliance Testing: Ensures that pharmaceutical products meet regulatory standards for safety and efficacy by testing them under prescribed environmental conditions.

5. Contract Compliance Testing

• Regulatory Compliance: Ensures products meet specific industry and regulatory standards, such as ISO, ASTM, or Australian Standards requirements.
• Customer Specifications: Verifies that products conform to contractual agreements and customer specifications by replicating required environmental conditions.
• Certification Testing: Provides third-party verification and certification that products meet established environmental performance standards.
• Performance Verification: Confirms that products perform as expected in real-world conditions, helping to avoid costly recalls or failures.
• Customised Testing Protocols: Develops and implements tailored testing protocols to meet unique contract requirements and ensure thorough compliance.

Environmental chambers are essential tools for a wide range of industries, providing the ability to simulate real-world conditions and ensure the reliability, safety, and performance of products and materials.
