Adaptis Reach-in chambers are equipped
with a damper for fresh and exhaust air
exchange. A single lever located inside the
chamber cabinet adjusts both the intake and
exhaust air simultaneously.
Recommendation: Adjust exhaust air before
every experiment.
Adaptis chambers cannot be connected
to a building central exhaust or fresh air
supply as they are. They require adapters
to the mechanical dampers located on the
chamber roof.
All Adaptis reach-in chambers present added
humidity as a standard feature. The mist
is generated using ultrasonic humidifiers
capable of providing a fine mist without the
need for high pressure systems that require
maintenance. A connection to a water source
is required when additive humidity is to be
used. See requirements below.
Maximum allowable pressure in all Adaptis
units is 4 bar (60PSI). Minimum pressure
required: 0.3 bar (5 PSI).
See Chamber Start-up section for details
Water Connection points are always at the
back of the cabinet – no need to open the
machine compartment. Connection is made to
the water inlet with a compression fitting. The
supply line should be M6 (1/4 inch) in diameter.
pH: 7.0 ± 0.5
Filtration: <2 microns or 0.00008 inch
Purity: Resistively 0.5 to 5.0 Meg
Ohms or Conductivity
2.0 to 0.2µSiemens
When not in use, the humidity box (located
inside the machine compartment), must be
drained and cleaned. Close the water supply
valve while not in use.
Conviron recommends setting a moderate
RH value in all programs to keep the USH
feature operable without significantly
affecting the experiment.
