Humidity Control
The chambers use TDK ultrasonic transducers to produce humidity. When humidity is needed, a metal plate vibrates creating a focused beam energizing the water molecules just below the water surface A 'cloud' of water droplets then form just at the surface. Air is then taken from the chamber, mixes with the vapor cloud for humidity, and is reintroduced into the chamber.
Benefits include:
Benefits include:
- Ultrasonic transducers run only when humidity is needed reducing cost of energy
- Humidity is generated immediately when needed.
- With no heat output from the system, the need for extra cooling is reduced
- Humidity generation is terminated immediately when room equilibrates De-humidification option to 15%RH and below is possible with the addition of a desiccant dryer.
Temperature Control
For applications requiring operating temperatures above 10ºC, an indirect refrigeration system is recommended. Unlike a direct system where the refrigerator evaporator is located in the room and runs at sub zero temperatures, our indirect system simply uses water as the coolant passing through a coil located in the chamber. The water is cooled by a refrigeration system, using R134A refrigerant, with the temperature set just below the dew point of the room. This results in less power being used by the heaters and also acts as a balance to provide extra control of the humidity level inside the room.
Benefits include:
Benefits include:
- No ice up and, therefore, no need for defrost cycles
- Close matching of surface temperature to dew point of internal air for greater humidity control
- Requires less energy from heater to offset cold air For applications requiring temperatures below +10ºC but above 0ºC, the type of refrigeration system will be selected to suit the particular requirement.
Energy Consumption
With a combination of indirect cooling and ultrasonic transducers for temperature and humidity control, we are able to realize significant savings on energy cost. Our chambers require significantly less energy draw than other chambers available on the market, while maintaining a very stable environment.
Shelving
We use perforated solid stainless steel for all of our shelves to give you a sturdy flat smooth surface and ensure optimum air movement throughout the chamber for the most uniform conditions.
Stability Storage
Vindon chambers and engineering techniques have been honed and perfected over 40 years of industry experience.
The design and manufacture of all chambers is geared towards reduced energy usage and therefore lower cost of ownership. The section of our website contains an explanation of the technologies involved in creating these high quality Stability rooms and cabinets, how they work to keep the tightest tolerances and uniformities, and how they reduce energy costs.
