Technologies applied

Heating/cooling technology
The Peltier technology is particularly economical at temperatures close to the ambient temperature.

Documentation
Quality included: Long-term log memory, Celsius remote control and logging software, interfaces for programming, storage and printout, as well as a MEMory Card for programming and documentation. 

Control Technology Peltier-cooled Incubator

Excellent control accuracy with Peltier elements

Heat and cool down seamlessly with Peltier elements: Excellent controllability as well as extremely low control fluctuations make the Memmert Peltier-cooled incubator IPP stand out. 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 5 °C to 70 °C with a display and setting accuracy of 0.1 °C
  • Over and under temperature protection: An adjustable over/under temperature controller TWW protection class 3.3 (optional adjustable electronic temperature limiter TWB protection class 2) 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 function is switched off in case of overtemperature, cooling function is switched off in case of undertemperature.
  • 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, weekday, time, and number of ramps
  • Visual and acoustic alarm in case of over-/undertemperature
  • Alphanumeric text display in different languages (D/UK/E/F/I)
  • Function signals for stand-by, operating mode, heating, cooling and malfunction over/undertemperature
  • Internal log memory with 1024kB to save temperature 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)

Products of interest

Constant climate chamber HPP

Peltier technology as well as active humidification and dehumidification in the constant climate chamber are optimally adjusted for doing an ongoing-stability test or a long-term material test.

Compressor-cooled incubator ICP

Storing, incubating, breeding: The Memmert compressor-cooled incubator excels with its control accuracy while heating up and cooling down, as well as being astonishingly quiet and smooth-running. 

Solutions in practice

Application Zoology

Breeding bees in the Memmert Peltier-cooled incubator: The Würzburg BEEgroup is carrying out basic research into the health of bees.

Material test

The Fraunhofer-Institut IKTS Dresden performs research using the constant climate chamber (Peltier technology) and demonstrates that humidity has an effect on source materials and intermediate products during the manufacture of hard metals.
