3. Application

BCPG-1805 series Artificial Climate Chamber is a biological culture experimental device that can automatically switch between day and night under a certain temperature, humidity and light intensity to simulate natural light. It can be used for such experiments as plant seed sprouting and seedling, microbe cultivation and feeding of insects and small animals.

4. Structure, Principle and Features

The Artificial Climate Chamber is of a vertical case structure, with the surface sprayed with plastics and the case and door made of cold-rolled sheet by punching. The box adopts a double-layer shelf type lighting structure, and PU foaming material is filled between the outer case and chamber to ensure the thermal insulation. The inner chamber is made of mirror stainless steel sheet; the front side of the artificial climate chamber is equipped with the glass observation window (OBW), through which incubated materials can be clearly observed. The case is provided with cool and hot air ducts inside for the air blower to enhance the smooth air circulation so as to improve the uniformity of temperature and humidity inside the working chamber.

The controller adopts the liquid crystal display, applies the advanced digital circuit technology, and controls the various parameters of the climate box (including the number of blocks, temperature, illumination and time) through the programmable control method of the CPU processor.

The Artificial Climate Chamber has the following features and protective functions:

1. After a power failure, it has a memory function for the parameters that were running before the power failure.

2. With ultraviolet disinfection and sterilization function.

3. In order to protect the compressor, there is a 3-minute delay start protection function in the system; at the same time, the refrigeration system of this equipment adopts dual compressor configuration conversion work, which can provide users with longer continuous operation.

4. Over-temperature limit temperature protection: When the actual temperature of the light box exceeds the set limit temperature, the power supply of the heating and light parts in the box will be automatically interrupted, and an audible and visual alarm will be issued. When the temperature naturally drops below the limit temperature, the inside of the box resumes heating, and the cycle repeats. When such a phenomenon occurs, it indicates that the light box is faulty, and the cause of the fault should be found out, and normal operation can be restored after troubleshooting.

5. Optional RS485/232 interface and communication software.

5. Technical Indexes

Note 1:Six grades of adjustable lighting: 10%, 20%, 50%, 70&, 90%, and 100%

6. Application

1. Ambient conditions for normal operation of the Plant Growth Incubator:

a) Ambient temperature: 5°C~35°C.

b) Relative humidity: ≤85%.

c) Air pressure: (86~106) KPa

d) Altitude: <2,000m.

e) Power supply: AC(220±22)V (50±1)Hz

f) Without corrosive gas around and away from electromagnetic interference.

g) The chamber should be grounded.

2. Switch on and set such parameters as for required temperature and illumination intensity as per operating method of the instrument.

3. Add accessories humidifier with distilled or purified water, and plug the power plugs of the three humidifiers into the humidifier's power outlet on the side of the climate chamber. The nozzles of the humidifier is connected to the white air intake located in the middle of the back of the cabinet.

4. With the Artificial Climate Chamber running for every 15 days, in case of any static error (e.g.: it

is set as 20 °C , but it is actually more than 22 °C ), it is necessary to "Defrost" for the Artificial Climate Chamber: set the temperature as 40°C, keep the Artificial Climate Chamber running for more than 3 hours and then reset the required parameter for running.

5. If the chamber needs to be disinfected and sterilized, turn on the "UV light switch" for UV disinfection.

6. Application of "Overheating Protector"

Overheating Protector is an independent protection system. When the temperature is out of control due to the fault of the temperature controller and the temperature inside the working chamber is up the pre-set value of temperature limit on the overheating driver panel, the overheating protector will automatically cut off heating and alarm.

(As shown in Figure) when the temperature inside °C the working chamber is lower the set value, the protection system is canceled and the instrument

returns to running. It is repeated till the fault is eliminated. Particular operating is as follows:

Figure 3

6.1 The set value of temperature limit should be ≥ (SV) + (5~10) °C

6.2 Use +/- button the overheating setting

driver panel to set the required temperature limit

For example: SV=37°C

The set value of temperature limit should be set as (42~47)°C.

8. Instructions and Maintenance

1. In handling the Artificial Climate Chamber, it is prohibited to place it upside down or at an incline of more than 45 degrees.

2. With the Artificial Climate Chamber positioned, it should be leveled up if the ground is uneven.

3. With the Artificial Climate Chamber running normally, the materials inside should not be excessively packed and should affect the air circulation inside to ensure the even temperature inside.

4. When illumination is not required inside, the illumination switch should be in the position of "OFF" to avoid affect the upper temperature as well as prolong the useful life of the lighting tube.

5. The inner chamber and the case surface should be frequently wiped to keep them clean and increase the transparency of the glass. Do not clean the outer surface with acid, alkali or other corrosive solutions.

6. If the Artificial Climate Chamber is kept idle for long, it is necessary to pull out the power cable and regularly (generally once every quarter) run it for 2~3 days as per application conditions so as to eliminate moisture on the electric parts and avoid any damage to the relevant parts.

7. Upon being stopped for standing idle, the Artificial Climate Chamber should be dehumidified in the following method: clean the case inside before setting the temperature at 40 °C, run it for 5 hours, and dehumidify every two hours by opening the door. Afterwards, pull out the power cable and keep the unit in a proper place.

Note: Lighting time error ≤ 5 ‰!!
