Rate Of Change
To calculate rate of change for a particular condition, take the difference between the Start Temp and End Temp and divide by the Transition Time.
Cool Down Example: From +50°C to -40°C = 90°C / 27 min = 3.33°C/min.
Heat Up Example: From -40°C to +50°C = 90°C / 11 min = 8.18°C/min.


*Note: Transition times are measured after a 2 hour soak at the respective start temperature with an empty chamber, as indicated on the temperature controller, 23°C ambient. Measured with setpoint beyond the start and end temperatures. Does not include the effect of proportional band when approaching setpoint. Performance is reduced by 17% with 50 Hz input power.

Input may be configured for single or three phase in the field by changing jumpers. Three phase load is semi-balanced. Call for 50 Hz operation. Performance is reduced by 17% with 50 Hz input power.

Customer power source must be hard-wired to the chamber by a qualified electrician. Power cord and plug is not included.

NOTE: Performance is typical and based on operation at 23°C (73°F) ambient and nominal input voltage. Designed for use in a normal conditioned laboratory. Operation at higher ambient temperatures may result in decreased cooling performance. Additional ports and shelves will also affect performance. Operation above 30°C (85°F) or below 16°C (60°F) ambient is not recommended.
