BINDER MKFT 720 dynamic climate chamber
The BINDER MKFT 720 dynamic climate chamber enables rapid temperature changes between extreme cold and heat zones and also integrates precise humidity control. It is designed to deliver uncompromisingly high performance when it comes to standard-compliant test procedures in environmental simulation and testing technology. Its robust design and energy-efficient cooling system make it particularly suitable for laboratories, research institutes and industrial companies that require reliable and reproducible results in short test times. Thanks to sophisticated cascade compression cooling and sophisticated APT.line preheating chamber technology, the appliance clearly stands out from comparable climate chambers, resulting in constant, homogeneous conditions - even during demanding test cycles.
Powerful features and technological benefits
The alternating climate chamber offers precise control of temperature and humidity. This allows complex test profiles to be precisely programmed and run without compromising on accuracy or stability. In particular, the extended low-temperature capability down to -70 °C allows extensive tests that go beyond standard applications. The device processes temperature ranges up to +180 °C and ensures fast switching processes with a time-efficient heating and cooling speed:
- Temperature range: -70 °C to +180 °C
- Humidity range: 10 % r.h. to 98 % r.h.
- APT.line preheating chamber technology for high temperature homogeneity
- Cascade compression chiller with CFC-free refrigerant
- Intuitive touchscreen controller with real-time programming
- Integrated 20-litre water reservoir for automatic humidification
The appliance also has a capacitive humidity sensor which, in combination with rapid steam humidification, always provides a constantly controlled humidity level. Thanks to the large heated viewing window with LED lighting, you can always keep an eye on the samples during the climate test without disturbing the test procedure.
The comprehensive APT-COM Basic Edition software supports the planning and documentation of all processes. Recorded measured values can be read out directly via a USB interface. This simplifies seamless documentation for audits, quality management systems or research documentation.
Standards, certifications and safety
Certifications and standards are essential in many industries. The enclosure meets the relevant DIN specifications, providing a reliable basis for standardised tests. Programmable temperature protection (class 2 in accordance with DIN 12880) also helps to safely limit temperature fluctuations. An optical and acoustic fault diagnosis system provides early warning of faults such as a lack of water or temperature deviations, which can prevent costly sample losses.
Application examples for demanding climate tests
- Corrosion tests at widely varying temperatures for metallic components
- Stability tests on pharmaceuticals, for example at 10 % RH to 98 % RH
- Stress testing of electrical parts in automotive or electronics production
- Plastic ageing analyses in which high temperatures of +180 °C must be reached
As this oven also supports temperatures down to -70 °C, it can be used to simulate arctic conditions. This allows, for example, functional tests to be carried out efficiently on refrigeration units, adhesives or substances such as polymer compounds.
FAQs
How does the device ensure homogeneous temperature distribution?
Thanks to the APT.line preheating chamber technology, the air is preheated evenly and distributed precisely. As a result, the temperature profiles remain homogeneous throughout the entire interior, even during quick changes.
What safety features are available
In addition to a class 2 temperature selector limiter (DIN 12880), the appliance has an optical-acoustic alarm system including fault diagnosis software. A lack of water or a hose position safety device are also monitored.
How can different climate profiles be programmed?
A touchscreen controller enables the programming of time interval and real-time programmes. In addition, the BINDER Multi Management Software APT-COM Basic Edition makes it easier to create, analyse and save the climate cycles.
Can the system be automatically supplied with water?
Yes, a 20-litre water reservoir is integrated, which regulates the humidification automatically. An alarm signal warns when the water level is too low.
Conclusion
This state-of-the-art climate chamber is ideal for carrying out standard-compliant tests for research and quality assurance. The cascade technology for cooling, precise humidification, flexible programming software and extensive safety mechanisms make it the first choice for demanding temperature and climate test procedures. The solid and well thought-out design ensures reliable results, reduces downtimes and ensures the quality of products and processes in the long term.
