BINDER MKT 240 dynamic climate chamber
This versatile chamber has been specially developed for demanding environmental simulations where rapid temperature fluctuations and an extended low temperature range are essential. It is ideal for exposing different materials, components or products to extreme temperature changes and obtaining reliable, reproducible results. Compared to many similar solutions on the market, this model offers particularly homogeneous temperature distribution and powerful compressors that realise short heating and cooling times.
Powerful features for demanding environmental simulations
The device is designed to switch quickly between -70 °C and +180 °C and therefore efficiently realise even demanding test sequences. Thanks to the integrated APT.line preheating chamber technology, the test items are supplied with a uniform temperature or climatic conditions from all sides at all times. A heated viewing window and LED interior lighting also allow the test items to be constantly monitored.
The extensive programming options and data-comprehensive error management are particularly advantageous. Several temperature profiles can be individually set using an MCS controller. Time-controlled programmes with defined ramps can also be called up in order to run reproducible tests according to fixed sequences. Another feature is the integrated door heater, which prevents condensation and thus ensures a clear view of the interior at all times.
The interior is made of stainless steel and, with a volume of 228 litres, offers sufficient space for different test items. Several slide-in grilles and configurable condensation protection protect the material, while the cascade refrigeration circuit with CFC-free refrigerants R-452A and R-23 ensures consistently high energy efficiency. At the same time, an optimum cooling process is guaranteed, achieving an average cooling rate of 4.2 K/min in accordance with IEC 60068-3-5.
Technical features at a glance
- Temperature range: -70 °C to +180 °C
- Homogeneity thanks to APT.line preheating chamber
- Programme-controlled MCS controller with ramp function
- Precise fault management with acoustic and visual alarm
- Four potential-free switching contacts for external processes
- Sturdy stainless steel interior (228 litre volume)

In addition, the appliance impresses with an average heat-up speed of up to 5 K/min, which enables rapid test cycles even with large temperature differences. Those who require extended voltage and frequency flexibility can choose an optional version with 480 V/60 Hz and frequency converter without having to compromise on performance or precision. The maximum total load of the interior is 70 kg and 30 kg per rack.
Certifications and standards
The appliance fulfils temperature selector limiter class 2 according to DIN 12880, which speaks for excellent operational safety. It also complies with the essential EN and IEC standards for climate testing, making it suitable as a reliable test device in accredited laboratories and in industrial quality assurance.
Concrete application examples
- Lifetime tests in electronics production: Printed circuit boards and semiconductors are subjected to strong temperature fluctuations in short cycles in order to detect defects and material fatigue at an early stage.
- Material testing for automotive engineering: vehicle components, such as rubber seals or sensors, can be tested under changing heat and cold conditions to minimise failures while driving.
- Pharmaceutical stability testing: the stability of active medical ingredients, vaccines or laboratory samples can be tested under strictly defined temperature curves.
- Research and development in the plastics industry: Whether novel polymers or fibre-reinforced materials - these can be heated up to 180 °C in ramps and then cooled again directly afterwards to evaluate their dimensional stability and ageing processes.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum load on the interior?
The total load may be up to 70 kg, while a maximum weight limit of 30 kg per drawer is recommended.
What are the advantages of the APT.line preheating chamber?
The APT.line technology ensures a particularly homogeneous temperature distribution throughout the test chamber so that all test items are exposed to the same conditions at the same time.
Is external control possible?
Yes, external components can be controlled via four potential-free switching contacts. The system also has an Ethernet interface for data export and remote monitoring.
Which cooling systems are installed?
The enclosure works with a cascade compression refrigeration system and utilises environmentally friendly, CFC-free refrigerants such as R-452A and R-23 for efficient and sustainable cooling.
Can humidity or condensation be controlled?
Programmable condensation protection for the samples prevents unwanted condensation. Marked humidity levels can also be extended with external humidity modules if required.
Conclusion
This appliance combines high reliability, fast temperature changes and advanced control in a robust, durable design. Thanks to numerous programming functions and precise monitoring, it can be used in almost any industry that requires temperature testing. A large interior, precise ramp control and solid, energy-efficient cooling technology make it the first choice for laboratories, manufacturers and development facilities that want to fulfil the highest quality and performance criteria.
