Chamber Construction
The CLIMACELL® is equipped with a pharmaceutical grade AISI 304 stainless steel chamber with a double wall construction to prolong life expectancy. The inner chamber features a seamless, rounded corner design and is fully removable for easier cleaning and sterilization. The door of the chamber employs a patented 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket and enables hands-free opening and closing.

- Double wall chamber construction with 5 layers of insulation for more uniform internal chamber conditions
- Removeable inner chamber with seamless, rounded corner design for easier cleaning & sterilization
- 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket – automatic or key door lock options availabe, door sensor and alarm option available
- Inner glass door to view into the chamber
- (2″) 50 mm stainless steel port – (1″) 25, (2″) 50, (4″) 100 mm access port options available
- Shelf brackets that do not penetrate the chamber walls – brackets are molded into the inner chamber walls 2.8″ apart
Control Panel
CLIMACELL® stability and enviromental chambers are offered with ECO and EVO control system options, each equipped with varying features to match your specific use case and budget. Through the use of fuzzy logic, the controllers can assess process data, such as operating temperature, chamber size, and other controlled elements. Based on the assessed data, the controller can make continuous adjustments to input values, such as heating intensity or cooling, to optimally regulate internal chamber conditions. Additionally, the controllers can quickly ramp up to the exact temperature set point without overshooting, minimizing the time required to meet set process parameters. The result is reduced overall cycle time, power consumption, and recovery times after opening the chamber door(s).
