BOD Incubator

KEY FEATURES

Material of Construction:

• Inner chamber: Stainless steel SS 304 / 316.

• Inner & outer doors sealed with silicone sponge rubber gaskets.

• Outer body: Mild steel powder coated or full stainless GMP model.

Insulation:

• Typical PUF or glass wool insulation (70 mm, 80 mm thick) to reduce thermal loss.

Door:

• Heavy door with magnetic seal.

• Glass view-window or acrylic inner door allows sample observation without opening.

Shelves/Trays:

• Removable, adjustable stainless steel perforated shelves/trays.

Sample Access/Ports:

• Some models have port-holes for inserting sensors/thermometers (Optional).

Observation Window & Lighting:

• Allows viewing samples without opening the door, reducing disturbance.

Heating:

• “U-shaped” tubular heaters or Nichrome wires embedded in airflow path.

Cooling:

• Hermetically sealed compressor with CFC-free refrigerant for sub-ambient operation.

• Refrigerant: R-134a.

Air Circulation:

• Fan or blower, forced convection, duct distribution or motorized blower ensures even temperature distribution.

Temperature Range:

• 5 °C to 50 °C.

• Accuracy: ±0.2 °C to ±1.0 °C.

• Uniformity: Variation across the chamber often ±2 °C.

Controller:

• Digital display with set value (SV) and process value (PV). Sensor often PT100 type. Microprocessor or PLC-based HMI Controller.

Sensor:

• PT100 temperature sensor.

Alarms:

• Over-temperature, under-temperature, door-open, power failure, deviation alarms (Optional).

Data Interface:

• RS-232 or RS-485 interface, USB/data logging, printer, PC connectivity (Optional).

Security:

• Password protection, optional biometric/door access. Optional features: GSM/Mobile alert system.
