3.2.2 Standard Function Tempering (Heating)
1 Finned heating element and radial fans (in
back wall, not visible)
2 Pt100 temperature sensor
The temperature in the incubation chamber is regulated using a
Pt100 temperature sensor with a PID controller. Four radial fans
ensure constant air circulation and keep the temperature distribu-
tion in the incubation chamber as constant and gradient-free as
possible. A finned heating element heats the air in the incubation
chamber. In order to reach temperatures below the ambient tem-
perature, the equipment can be fitted with an optional cooling sys-
tem.
The temperature sensor serves exclusively to measure the tem-
perature of the air in the incubation chamber. The temperature
sensor must not be removed from the holder and immersed in
the liquid in the cultivation vessel.
Operation
The Temperature parameter is operated using the operating panel.
Beside the actual value, the symbol Temp and unit °C
appear on
the display.
For an exact description of how to set the parameters, see chapter
7.4 "Adjusting, Activating and Deactivating Parameters", page 81.
Technical data and setpoints
For a detailed description of the technical data and possible maxi-
mum or minimum temperatures, see chapter 12.3.2 "Temperature
Parameter (Heating and Ventilation)", page 134.
