3.5 Airflow
Continuous airflow is critical to the efficient operation of the chamber. Fresh air may be
introduced using the fresh air port located on the side of the chamber.
Conditioned air is drawn down from the refrigeration coil and enters the interior of the chamber
thought a rigid metal plenum in the rear wall of the chamber. Air is then directed horizontally
from the rear plenum, providing uniform environmental conditions.
3.6 Adjustable Wire Shelves
Wire shelves are supported by two metal support brackets attached to the four pilaster strips
inside the chamber (Figure 3-5). The chamber comes with five wire shelves to be spaced
evenly. An additional 10 shelves may be ordered to expand the shelving area to 15 shelves with
a minimum gap between shelves of 3
″ (7.62cm). Optional seedling trays (Figure 3-5) may also
be ordered.
