CO2 Control: Thermal Conductivity or Infrared?
Revco incubators are offered with thermal conductivity (temperature transmission sensor) or infrared (light diffraction sensor) control systems to suit your preference for automatic CO2 control. The IR sensor is ideal for precise CO2 control in fluctuating temperature and humidity applications. The thermal conductivity sensor provides accurate CO2 control for applications with more consistent temperature and humidity levels.
Both control systems use a sensor assembly positioned at the top of the interior chamber. A small blower wheel gently mores interior air across the sensor to compare actual % CO2 against the setpoint. Continuous sampling maintains the highest CO2 accuracy and initiates automatic recovery following door openings. The IntrLogic™ II controller reads data from the sensor to inject gas upon demand and to operate display and alarm functions.
Gas Control
The CO2 system requires a gas input pressure of 15 PSIG from a two-stage regulator (see accessories)
- CO2 range 0% to 20%
- CO2 control sensitivity 0.1%
- CO2 stability ± 0.1%
- CO2 auto shut-off upon door opening
- Touchpad adjust calibration of CO2
- CO2 factory calibrated at 5% and 10%
Consistent Temperature Control
A water-jacket surrounds the interior chambers for thermal stability and uniform heating. Gentle upward air flow within the chamber assures top-to-bottom temperature uniformity at all shelf levels, and up to 96% RH at +37°C to minimize desiccation of small volume samples. The blower wheel automatically shuts off when the inner glass door is opened. The illustration shows the incubator with the HEPA filter option and the air flow within the chamber.
