Description
Multi-Tier Plant Growth Rooms
Controlled Environment Plant Growth Rooms with multi-tier growth modules divided by a center aisle. With an optimized spectra for plant growth, lights are located at the ceiling in a self refrigerated lamp-loft to keep environmental conditions uniformand stable throughout the growth area.
- FitoClima ‘PLH’ walk-in plant growth rooms with sizes ranging from
5.000 liters of internal volume, up to 25.000 liters or custom designed
dimensions specially developed for plant sciences. - With total control and great uniformity of environmental conditions,
these chambers can simulate temperature, light, humidity, CO2 and
even wind in order to replicate all conditions your research may require. - Multi-tier growth modules with height adjustable shelving allow for
small to medium plants to grow under the most suitable lighting solution. - Easily program all conditions with ClimaPlus:
a user friendly color touch-screen interface.
Key Features
- Temperature, Humidity, Light intensity and Air Flow
controlled with consistent precision through the years - Adaptive future proof design with easily removable
trays and height adjustable shelves - Lighting options to suite multiple research requirements
and stages of plant development - All environmental conditions easily programmable with
the new ClimaPlus® multicolour touchscreen interface - Stainless steel shelves for maximum resistance,
durability and easy cleaning - Research protection features, with configurable
high / low temperature and humidity alarms
and automatic remote notifications
Construction
- Exterior: EN 14509 sandwich type high density injected polyurethane
foam modular panels, 80 mm thick (other thicknesses available for
different specific insulation requirements) with galvanized steel in light
gray plastic finish. CFC-free. - Floor: slip resistant AISI 304 stainless steel floor
- Walls: Galvanized steel with white epoxy paint
- Shelving and trays: highly resistant AISI 304 stainless steel
- 80mm Ø side port
- New generation multi-color touch-screen ClimaPlus controller
- Door with sealing gasket, observation window,
key lock and safety opening mechanism from the inside - Open door alarm with configurable time-out function
- Free slots for connecting and integrating external devices with the
ClimaPlus controller (CO2, O2 control, Auto Irrigation, Aeration,
Radiometers and other) - Entomology and Insect rearing rooms have ‘flicker-free’ ceiling lights
and special low-noise blower. In addition to a particulate air filter
located on the evaporator inlet, the system is also protected by
a phenolic resins coating
Climatic Control
- Air based, CFC free, mechanical refrigeration by sealed condenser group
- Dual heating technology with hot gas by-pass and stainless steel electric
heaters - Humidification by centrifugal humidifier with very low power
consumption and hygienic automatic washing cycles - Dehumidification by condensation on the cooling system evaporator
- PT100 RTD temperature sensor and capacitive humidity sensor
Air Flow
- Dynamic airflow with EC (variable) blower
- Forced in upward direction through perforated floor
- Horizontal laminar airflow across the shelves to assure
uniformity to all growth area - Air renovation through adjustable lateral port-holes
- Airflow velocity adjustable at the ClimaPlus© controller
Research Protection & Security
- Independent thermostats for maximum and minimum temperature limits
- Automatic cut-off function, in case of excessive heating or cooling
- Configurable maximum and minimum temperature and humidity limits
- Visual and audible alarms for temperature and humidity band limits
