2. Chamber description
Cooling incubators KB ECO / KB ECO-UL are equipped with a multifunctional microprocessor display con-
troller for temperature plus a digital display accurate to one-tenth of a degree.
Use:
A high level of precision, reliability, and safety for all growth parameters ensures optimum incubation con-
ditions. Moreover, the KBF-S ECO / KBF-S ECO-UL is designed for maximum usability – even in continuous
operation year after year. It fulfills all technical and application-specific requirements arising in experimen-
tation such as in the areas of biotechnology, medicine, the nutrition industry, pharmaceutical and cosmetics
industries, botany, and zoology.
Two important temperature technologies have been combined to achieve perfect temperature control. The
Peltier heating and refrigerating system, in conjunction with the APT.line™ preheating chamber technology,
satisfies the unique prerequisites for attaining highly-precise temperature control and particularly short re-
covery times after opening the door.
Heating:
The APT.line™ preheating chamber system guarantees high level of spatial and time-based temperature
precision, thanks to the direct and distributed air circulation into the interior. The fan supports exact attain-
ment and maintenance of the desired temperature accuracy.
Cooling system:
The refrigerating system is distinguished by direct, precise, and rapid temperature conduction. Due to the
Peltier cooling, shocks are omitted which would occur during start and stop of conventional refrigeration
systems with a compressor.
The chamber is characterized by its low energy consumption.
Operation is environmentally friendly without climate-damaging refrigerants.
Material: The inner chamber, the pre-heating chamber and the interior side of the doors are all made of
stainless steel V2A (German material no. 1.4301, US equivalent AISI 304). The housing is RAL 7035 pow-
der-coated. All corners and edges are also completely coated.
All chamber functions are easy and comfortable to use thanks to their clear arrangement. Major features
are easy cleaning of all chamber parts and avoidance of undesired contamination.
Controller: The efficient RD4 chamber controller is equipped with a multitude of operating functions, in
addition to recorder and alarm functions. Set-point entry is easily accomplished directly via the chamber
controller and is also possible directly with a computer via Intranet in connection with the APT-COM™ 4
Multi Management Software (option, chap. 22.1). The chamber comes equipped with an Ethernet serial
interface for computer communication and with a USB interface. In addition, the BINDER APT-COM™ 4
Multi Management Software permits networking up to 100 chambers and connecting them to a PC for
controlling and programming, as well as recording and representing temperature data. For further options,
see chap. 26.5.
The chambers are equipped with four castors. Both front castors can be easily locked via the attached
brakes.
Temperature control range: 20 ºC below ambient temperature up to 70 °C /
158 °F
