INSECT GROWTH CHAMBER
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
DESCRIPTION:
A controlled environment created to offer ideal growing conditions for plants is called a plant growth chamber, sometimes referred to as a phytotron or plant growth room. These chambers are utilized in plant biology, agriculture, and scientific research to examine how plants develop, physiology, and react to different environmental conditions. An overview of a typical plant growing chamber is provided below:
STRUCTURE:
ENCLOSURE: To restrict entry and leave, plant growing chambers are usually enclosed areas with controlled access points. Typically, the enclosure is composed of metal or other stable and insulating materials.
WINDOWS AND DOORS: While permitting researchers to observe and engage with the plants within, access doors and observation windows are made to cause as little disturbance as possible to the carefully regulated environment.
MANAGED ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS:
CONTROLLING THE TEMPERATURE: To maintain precise temperature ranges ideal for plant growth, plant growth chambers are equipped with sophisticated temperature control systems. This might vary from warmer circumstances for tropical plants to colder temps for specific crops.
CONTROLLED HUMIDITY: To replicate natural conditions, humidity levels are adjusted.
The growth chamber changed to accommodate the different humidity requirements of different plants.
LIGHTING: Artificial lighting systems that mimic sunshine are installed in growth chambers. Often, these lighting systems have spectral ranges that may be adjusted to replicate various solar phases and encourage photosynthesis.
CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) MANAGEMENT: In order to maximize photosynthesis, which is essential for plant growth, CO2 concentration is regulated.
AIR CIRCULATION: The chamber’s gases, humidity, and heat are all distributed equally thanks to the maintenance of adequate air circulation. This is crucial for establishing a consistent environment in which plants can flourish.
ORGANIZING AND SHELVING:
SHELVING UNITS: To allow for various plant sizes and experimental configurations, the growth chamber’s interior is frequently constructed with movable shelving.
IRRIGATION SYSTEM: To guarantee that plants receive the right amount of water, some growth chambers are outfitted with automated or manual irrigation systems.
APPLICATIONS :
This chamber product is widely utilized for research purposes, including illuminating seedling germination and development as well as plant pathology research.
THE ECOCENTRIC SYSTEM:
Dewpoint control is the foundation of chamber operation. Fewer deviations when there is a brief power outage and door opening. smaller utility space more space for storing. minimal running costs. minimal use of water and electricity. decreased variances.
Reduced malfunctions because to the humidification and standby refrigeration systems. The efficiency of this system is boosted with less energy consumption and the on time of the temperature and humidity systems is decreased thanks to PLC HMI & controlling through microprocessor based PID temperature and humidity operations.
FEATURES :
- Easy to move PU wheels that lock and rotate, forced air circulation to maintain a constant temperature, Transportable, chamber fixed with castors.
- Integrated temperature. deviation and visual/auditory alerts.
- Safety thermostat to prevent temperature overshooting. a safety circuit to turn the entire system off.
