The TCR walk-in room provides a multi-tier modular platform available in increments of 60 ft2.

Lighting

• The standard lighting package for the TCR model generates low to moderate light intensities and incorporates fluorescent lamps. Intensities are ideally suited for tissue culture research. Multiple lighting levels can be programmed with the CMP6060 control system while higher light intensities are available as an option.

  
  

Airflow

• A center column conditioning coil directs air through pressurized sidewall plenums which is then directed into each individual air shelf. Uniform vertical airflow from each shelf ensures that a precise volume of air is directed upward around the media containers. Filtered and adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust openings enable researchers to manage exchange air to the chamber.

Refrigeration

• The standard refrigeration system for the TCR incorporates a water-cooled condensing unit for heat exchange while an electronic modulating valve provides tight temperature control for ensuring quiet operation. Pressure transducers are included for monitoring the status of the refrigeration system. Alternative refrigeration methods are available for this equipment platform depending on site-specific and/or user-defined requirements. Consult the factory for heat rejection information and other options for cooling.

Experiment Protection

• User programmable “set and forget” alarms track the chamber’s operation versus user-defined set points. This allows for exceptionally accurate monitoring without the need for adjustment every time the set point is redefined. Backup “high/low” alarms provide a further level of protection while visual and audible notification is provided when any alarm is activated. Contacts for connection to a building management system are also included.
