XB/XBV Incubator :
- They have a place in every biological, medical, pharmaceutical, hygiene industry laboratories for microbiological and most standard incubation processes, quality controls, tempering, thermal storage.
- 2 versions : air convection or fan circulated models, for accuracy and minimum temperature spatial deviation.
- Several options and accessories to adapt the oven to your needs.
- Volumes : 27, 64, 125, 250, 343, 490, 686, 980 litres.
Performances :
Designed to operate from room temperature + 10°C up to 80°C. Temperature fluctuation: less than ± 0,2 °C . Temperature spatial variation: less than ± 0,5°C at 37,0°C. (measure done with 9 probes inside the work chamber).
Construction :
Ten sizes of incubators available from 27 to 980 liters. Inner casing is made of corrosion resistant stainless steel, type 304, bright polished. The outer case is made of sheet steel, finished in a tough stoved epoxy paint. (colour light grey). No contact between inner and outer case and an optimised insulation minimises heat dissipation. Walls and door are insulated with glass fibre. The insulation is 70 mm thick, this ensures efficient operation and excellent thermal stability. Silicone rubber gasket provides a good seal between the door and the oven body. The insulation and the gasket are asbestos-free. An inner glass door enables viewing of samples with minimal loss of internal temperature. The door is hinged on the right hand side.
Heating :
Tubular heating elements are sheathed and made of stainless steel, ideally placed around the fans for fan circulated models. For convection models, heating elements are all around the outside of the inner case. No-wear switching (solid state relay) is used for activating and deactivating the heating elements.
Internal fan for air circulation :
In the fan circulated models, the air flow evens the temperature distribution within the oven. Fan and heaters are in the rear of the oven, shielded from the workspace by a stainless steel baffle. Air is drawn into the fan from the centre of the oven and passes over the temperature sensor and the sheathed heating elements. The heated air is distributed around the baffle to both left and right and then re-circulated by the fan.
Temperature control and safety :
In the fan circulated models, the air flow evens the temperature distribution within the oven. Fan and heaters are in the rear of the oven, shielded from the workspace by a stainless steel baffle. Air is drawn into the fan from the centre of the oven and passes over the temperature sensor and the sheathed heating elements. The heated air is distributed around the baffle to both left and right and then re-circulated by the fan.
Exhaust air, fresh air supply :
Through access vent, fresh air is provided and pre-heated before entering the chamber. A 30-mm diameter exhaust vent is provided with an adjustable valve to control the exhaust air flow.
Equipment :
Multiple position shelving for convenient loading / unloading. Additional shelves available. 20 mm diameter access port with silicone cork, fitted as standard in the left-hand wall of the oven.
