Plant Growth Chamber For Research Plant Growth Chambers – Standard and Hi Spec Plant Growth Product Overview/Applications The MPGC20 offers an unprecedented growth area-to footprint ratio. With the entire refrigeration and electrical systems top-mounted, the provides 20 ft2 (1.8 mm2) of growth area in a footprint of less than 25ft2. Using a counter-balanced light canopy, the growth height extends to a maximum of 59” (1500mm) inches making the MPGC20 an ideal candidate for research involving tall plant species to full maturity. Please consult Meditech regarding specific requirements. Lighting The standard lighting configuration for the MPGC20 combines fluorescent and incandescent lamps thus providing a broad based light spectrum. The light fixture is counter-balanced for ease of height adjustment between the lamp canopy and the plants. Standard light intensity is 700 micromoles/m2/s which is measured by a quantum light meter and transmitted to the controller for user readout. Airflow Airflow for the MPGC20 is distributed uniformly upward using Meditech’s innovative Uni-floor air distribution plenum. The airflow is sufficient to promote uniformity as well as proper gas exchange at the plant’s leaf surface. Refrigeration Cooling for the MPGC20 is provided by a top mounted water cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass for continuous compressor operation. An electronic modulating valve provides tight temperature control while ensuring quiet operation. Pressure transducers are included for monitoring the status of the refrigeration system.
