WALK-IN BOD INCUBATOR

Product Details :

Incubators are used for the growth of microorganisms in many fields, including pharmaceuticals, agricultural, environmental, food, and industrial microbiology; public health; basic research; and education.

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD, also called Biological Oxygen Demand) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed – demanded – by aerobic biological organisms to breakdown organic materials present in a given sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.

BOD incubators are normally rated in the range of 20°C to 60°C.

Standard Features:

• Prefabricated modular structure with PUF/Rockwool insulated panels and reinforced floor panel.
• Racks & trays made of Stainless Steel with adjustable tray heights.
• Adequate illumination inside the chamber.
• Glass view panel with specially designed leak proof door
• PLC based control system with 7” colour touchscreen HMI.
• CFC free refrigeration systems.
• Works on 230/415 volts 50/60 Hz or as per requirement.

Man, Machine, Product and Environment Safety

• Safety system to cut off the power supply in case of overshoot and undershoot of Temperature conditions giving audio visual alarms.
• Additional safety thermostat to cut off the power supply in case of temperature overshoots.
• Emergency push button inside the chamber to de-energise magnetic lock.
• Panic switch inside the chamber with audible alarm outside.
• Manual unlocking mechanism for door from inside the walk-in chamber.

Hydronic Cooling System

• Thermolab has innovated a unique chilled water circulation system which reduces the electrical consumption by 60%.
• Factory assembled refrigeration system, avoiding on-site piping work.
• This unique design enables maintenance of optimum cooling coil temperatures depending on the chamber conditions and resultant Dew Point.
• The life of compressor increases as the running time of compressor has enormously decreased.
• Compact plug and play design and can be placed behind the chamber or in the technical area.

Air Processing Unit (APU)

• Designed to achieve optimum energy utilization with Integrated Cooling and Heating system.
• The airflow is designed to have uniform conditions throughout the chamber.
• Custom designed supply and return air ducts particularly for chambers having larger storage volumes.
• Sleek APU design resulted in increased storage volume.

Additional features:

• Desktop based or Server based SCADA software for data management having support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
• 100% redundant refrigeration systems with automatic changeover.
• 8 point temperature monitoring sensors for online mapping.
• Standby temperature sensors.
• Printer interface and data storage facility.
• Email and mobile alert systems.
• Ethernet communication protocol.
• Door Access Security system.
• Remote audio visual alarm.

Documentation:

• Complete with IQ, OQ, PQ documents
• Operation and Maintenance manuals
• Training to end users

Technical Data:

• Temperature range: 20°C to 60°C.
• Temperature Control Accuracy/Uniformity : ± 0.2°C/ ± 2.0°C
