Constant climate chambers

Temperature range: -0 °C to +70 °C for KBF series and -20 °C to +100 °C for KBF Pro series
Interior volumes: 130 to 1 600 liters
Humidity range: 10 % to 80 % RH for KBF series and 10 % to 98 % RH for KBF Pro series

A constant climate chamber, also known as a climate cabinet or climate chamber, is a unit used to simulate certain environmental conditions (temperature and relative humidity). It is important that the units ensure homogeneous climate conditions in terms of time and space and that the climate conditions are documented continuously during the tests (data log functions for the temperature and humidity process parameters). The outstanding climate homogeneity in BINDER climate chambers is a result of the doubled-sided horizontal air flow. Constant climate chambers are used in many different sectors and industries, wherever stability, shelf-life, and aging tests are required. Constant climate chambers are available in different sizes and with different temperature and humidity ranges.

KBF series, with its large temperature and humidity range from 0 °C to +70 °C and 10 % to 80 % RH is ideal for all test procedures in the pharmaceutical industry according to ICH Q1A: long-term stability testing, accelerated stability testing, and also stress tests, where particularly high temperatures and humidity levels are used.

KBF Pro series, with expanded temperature / humidity range of -20 °C to +100 °C and 10 % to 98 % RH is suitable for demanding material tests, typically at 85 °C and 85 % relative humidity (THB test = temperature humidity bias.

The thermoelectric cooling-based KBF-S ECO series provides a particularly environmentally friendly and energy-saving solution for stability testing. Thanks to thermoelectric heating and cooling, refrigerant is not required and the annual energy consumption is up to 75 percent lower than with compressor-based units. It is possible to carry out particularly energy-saving long-term stability testing and accelerated stability testing according to ICH.
