Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2

Plant Growth Chamber Product Description

Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 offers two independently controlled growth areas in a single unit making this model ideally suited for applications where smaller experiments need to be conducted in different environments, all in a small footprint. Despite its limited footprint, the Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 offers over 23” (585mm) of growth height in each compartment and over 8.2ft2 (0.76m2) of total growth area. Please consult Meditech for your specific requirements for Plant Growth Chamber.

Plant Growth Chamber Product Overview/Applications

The Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 offers two independently controlled growth areas in a single chamber making this model ideally suited for applications where smaller experiments need to be conducted in different environments, all in a small footprint. Despite its economical footprint, the ME7-2 offers 23.5”(605mm) of growth height in each compartment and 8.2 ft2 (0.76m2) of total growth area. Please consult Meditech for your specific requirements for Plant Growth Chamber.

Lighting of Plant Growth Chamber

The standard lighting system on the Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 provides a broad based light spectrum for plant growth using a combination of T8 fluorescent and halogen incandescent lamps. Excess lamp heat in the canopy is controlled with the refrigeration system. Standard lamp control provides two light levels per lamp type in Plant Growth Chamber.

Airflow

Air flow for the Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 is distributed uniformly upward using Meditech’s innovative Uni-floor air distribution plenum. The maximum air flow is 50 ft/min (15.2m/min) which promotes uniformity as well as proper gas exchange at the plant’s leaf surface. The unit includes fresh air intake and exhaust ports which are adjustable to allow up to 10 ft3/min (0.28m3/min.) of air exchange in Plant Growth Chamber.

Refrigeration

Cooling on the Plant Growth Chamber ME7-2 model is provided by a self contained air-cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass for continuous compressor operation. This results in extended compressor life as well as tight temperature control in Plant Growth Chamber. A proportional valve is employed instead which provides quieter operation and increased system operating life as compared to solenoid valves. Pressure transducers are included for monitoring the condition of the refrigeration system. Alternative refrigeration methods are available depending on site specific and/or user defined requirements Consult the factory for heat rejection calculations and other options for cooling for Plant Growth Chamber

Experiment Protection

User programmable “set and forget alarms” track the chamber’s operation according to the set point. This allows for exceptionally accurate monitoring, without the need for adjustment every time the set point changes in Plant Growth Chamber. Backup “high/ low” alarms are provided for extra protection. Visual and audible notification is provided when any alarm is triggered. Contacts for connection to the building system are also included
