Plant Growth Chambers
Plant Growth Chambers

The trusted brand among user scientists , now ORBITEK ® GC Plant Growth Chambers are available with lot of innovative features added.
ORBITEK ® GC meets wide-ranging requirements in plant growth and related research.
Versatile
ORBITEK ® Plant Growth Chambers with adjustable and slide out shelving arrangements, gentle air flow, precisely controlled humidity make the chamber ideal for Plant growth, Arabidopsis, Tissue culture studies.
These reach-in chambers are available in two capacities: 350 Litres and 600 Litres.
ORBITEK ® Plant growth chambers are user friendly, allowing researchers to access samples and observe the growth.
Construction
- Mirror – finished Stainless steel interior and coated steel exterior.
- High grade Glass wool insulation ensures these chambers perform well under extreme climatic conditions.
- Isolated shelving arrangements below light canopy ensures that the heat emitted from light source is not transferred to the plants.
Air – flow pattern
- Distributed Air Handling System ( DAHS) effectively circulates the air gently , which is important for plant growth.
- The energy efficient air circulation system mounted on the rear wall of the inner chamber ensures effective air circulation.
Temperature & Humidity
- Finned stainless steel heaters withstands higher humidity levels assuring long life of heaters
- The refrigeration system comprises thermal expansion valve(TEV) for efficient performance
- Hermetically sealed reciprocal compressor with eco-friendly CFC free refrigerant
- Uniquely designed VAP-GEN to introduce vapour into the chamber through channelled duct .
- The dual mode feedback system enables VAP-GEN to respond quickly to Humidity changes.
- VAP-GEN draws water from the top mounted reservoir and its level is controlled by automatic ball float system.
- These maintenance free VAP-GEN are reliable to suit typical environmental conditions assuring maximum uptime of the unit.
- The water condensates are fedback into the VAP-GEN ensures minimal water consumption.
Controls & Operation
- User friendly touch sensitive operation through HMI (Human Machine Interface).
- PLC controlled parameters for intelligent operation.
- Large 7.5 Inches color LCD to monitor set parameters.
- Dual type IP65 transmitters for temperature and humidity control.
- Data logging facility.
Safety Features
- Isolated power supply for HMI, for protecting against voltage surge.
- Visual display to indicate functioning of various key components.
- Thermal tripping to protect against run away heating of VAP-GEN heater.
