Memmert HCP 240 – Humidity Chamber

• Humidity 20 to 95% rh
• Humidity chamber HCP with TwinDISPLAY
• AtmoCONTROL software
• Active humidity control creates a controlled environment for accelerated life tests and 85/85 tests

HUMIDITY CHAMBER HCP with active humidity control from 20 % to 95 % RH and unsurpassed real temperature humidity homogeneity over the entire interior, this nearly condensation-free climate chamber offers the full range of comfort, reliability, and safety. It is ideally suited for environmental tests, accelerated life tests, stress tests of drug substances according to ICH Q1A, and 85/85 tests to IEC 60068-2-67 and IEC 60068-2-78. It is also used in building physics and biological research.

Optimum homogeneity of humidity and temperature

Active humidity control guarantees ideal homogeneity of temperature and humidity as well as short recovery times after opening the door. In addition, in combination with the heating on all six sides, including the heated inner glass door, it minimizes vaporization in the interior and thus the risk of condensed water dripping onto the test object. An aluminum thermal conduction layer supports the optimal temperature distribution and serves as a heat accumulator if there is a temporary power failure.

Comfortable equipment for accelerated service life tests

Service life tests such as 85/85 tests run over 1,000 hours and more. The humidity chamber HCP offers a wide range of comfort functions: Standard entry ports at the back, battery-buffered ControlCOCKPIT (option), with SetpointWAIT function process time does not start until the set temperature is reached, alarm messages can be sent via e-mail or SMS (option) and much more.

Essential for the exact simulation of environmental conditions in research: intuitive and fast ramp programming. Thanks to the AtmoCONTROL software, different set values of temperature and humidity can be combined on-time ramps.

Not all climate chambers are the same. The humidity content of the chamber load, the ambient conditions, and the respective temperature-humidity working range are decisive factors in the selection of the right appliance. In the adjacent diagram, you can see the possible temperature/humidity combinations for our humidity chambers HCP. Within the respective temperature-humidity range, a permanent operation is possible (at an ambient temperature of 22 °C ± 3 K, relative humidity < 50 %). Condensation may occur in the threshold range. To which extent depends on the humidity content of the chamber load and the ambient conditions.
