Plant Growth Chamber For Research
Plant Growth Chambers – Standard and Hi Spec Plant Growth
Product Overview/Applications
The MPGR14 provides a 14 ft2 growth area and a 58 inch growth height making this chamber suitable for a range of applications including plant science, bioengineering, and soil and food sciences. Shipped fully assembled, the MPGR14 fits through standard doorways. The chamber comes standard with a closed loop lighting system that uses 5-foot lamps mounted into fixed canopies. Please consult Meditech with your particular application and area o research and we will provide you with an overview of the available options.
Lighting
The standard light intensity for the MPGR14 is 865 micromoles/ m2/s using both fluorescent and incandescent lamps. The result is a broad based lighting spectrum. Also standard is a closed loop lighting system (programmed in micromoles) which allows for precise and repeatable control of light output while also automatically adjusting for lumen maintenance. Lamp heat is controlled and managed by the refrigeration system.
Airflow
Airflow for the MPGR14 is distributed uniformly upward using Meditech’s innovative Uni-floor air distribution plenum. This airflow configuration promotes uniformity as well as proper gas exchange at the plant’s leaf surface.
Refrigeration
Cooling for the MPGR14 is provided by a side 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.
