The B.O.D. Incubator KCX-269 is designed to provide a controlled-temperature chamber for suitable laboratory experiments and incubation procedures.
In biochemical oxygen demand studies, samples are maintained under prescribed temperature and test conditions for the required incubation period.
The incubator can also support appropriate biological and microbiological studies where controlled chamber temperatures are required.
The digital PID controller regulates the temperature according to the selected setpoint, while the PT-100 sensor monitors chamber conditions.
The two air circulation fans assist with the movement of air inside the chamber.
The stainless steel inner chamber, glass wool insulation, and double-wall construction provide a durable arrangement for laboratory operation.
Working Principle
The KCX-269 operates using a temperature-control system that monitors the chamber temperature and adjusts the temperature-regulating components to maintain the selected setpoint.
The PT-100 sensor measures the chamber temperature and sends feedback to the digital PID controller.
The controller compares the measured temperature with the selected setpoint and regulates the installed temperature-control system accordingly.
The double-wall insulated construction reduces heat transfer between the chamber and the surrounding environment.
Two circulation fans assist with internal air distribution.
The exact heating and cooling mechanisms, refrigerant system, and compressor specifications are not identified in the supplied technical reference and should be confirmed separately.
