Precise temperature control

For specific applications, e.g. environment simulation in biology or building physics, the stable and exactly adjustable temperature (above room temperature) and humidity play a crucial role in the creation of physiologically ideal environment conditions for the chamber load. In the Memmert humidity chamber HCP, a multifunctional fuzzy controller (P class), with permanent performance adjustments and integrated self-diagnosis system, as well as two high-quality platinum temperature sensors Pt100, ensure absolutely reliable temperature control and the highest process safety and control accuracy.

Technical specifications

  • Temperature range with activated humidity control 20 °C (at least 8 °C above ambient) to 90 °C with a display accuracy of 0.1 °C; 20 °C to 160 °C with deactivated humidity control
  • Automatic sterilisation programme via the Memmert STERICard for 4 hours at 160 °C. All sensors and fittings can remain installed during sterilisation
  • Multiple overtemperature protection: If the electronic heating control should fail, heating is switched off at a fixed level of 3 °C above the setpoint. An adjustable overtemperature controller TWW protection class 3.1 takes over control in case of failure  at a preset temperature. ASF Automatic Safety Function - a unique safety function - for over- and undertemperature automatically following the setpoint in a freely selectable tolerance range. An alarm sound is activated in case of over- /undertemperature, and the heating is switched off in case of overtemperature. In addition a mechanical temperature limiter, TB, switches off heating permanently if the maximum permitted oven temperature is exceeded by approx. 10 °C.
  • 2 high-grade platinum temperature sensors Pt 100 in a 4-wire circuit (for stable long-term transmission of measurement signals) communicate with each other and ensure uninterrupted error-free temperature control at constant working temperature
  • Digital programme control (programmable to the minute) for temperature profiles consisting of up to 40 ramps
  • Weekly timer programmable to the minute
  • Simultaneous display of all parameters, such as temperature, humidity, weekday, time, number of ramp
  • Visual and acoustic alarm in case of over-/undertemperature, excess/lack of humidity, if water tank is empty or if door is opened
  • Alphanumeric text display in different languages (D/UK/E/F/I)
  • Function signals for stand-by, operating mode, heating and over/undertemperature and for water supply container
  • Internal log memory with 1024kB to save temperature, humidity and error states, with timestamp to the minute
  • Chip card control including 1 MEMoryCard XL with 32 kB memory capacity (max. 40 ramps)
  • Serial USB-interface and software Celsius to read out the appliance's internal log memory
  • Parallel printer interface for printout of log data via an external PCL3-compatible inkjet printer (USB available via converter)
