Home > Other Products > Walk-In BOD Incubator

Incubators are used for the growth of microorganisms in many fields, including pharmaceuticals, agricultural, environmental, food, and industrial microbiology; public health; basic research; and education.

Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD, also called Biological Oxygen Demand) is the amount of dissolved oxygen needed – demanded – by aerobic biological organisms to breakdown organic materials present in a given sample at certain temperature over a specific time period.

BOD incubators are normally rated in the range of 20°C to 60°C.

Standard Features:

- Prefabricated modular structure with PUF/Rockwool insulated panels and reinforced floor panel.
- Racks & trays made of Stainless Steel with adjustable tray heights.
- Adequate illumination inside the chamber.
- Glass view panel with specially designed leak proof door
- PLC based control system with 7” colour touchscreen HMI.
- CFC free refrigeration systems.
- Works on 230/415 volts 50/60 Hz or as per requirement.

Man, Machine, Product and Environment Safety

- Safety system to cut off the power supply in case of overshoot and undershoot of Temperature conditions giving audio visual alarms.
- Additional safety thermostat to cut off the power supply in case of temperature overshoots.
- Emergency push button inside the chamber to de-energise magnetic lock.
- Panic switch inside the chamber with audible alarm outside.
- Manual unlocking mechanism for door from inside the walk-in chamber.

Hydronic Cooling System

- Thermolab has innovated a unique chilled water circulation system which reduces the electrical consumption by 60%.
- Factory assembled refrigeration system, avoiding on-site piping work.
- This unique design enables maintenance of optimum cooling coil temperatures depending on the chamber conditions and resultant Dew Point.
- The life of compressor increases as the running time of compressor has enormously decreased.
- Compact plug and play design and can be placed behind the chamber or in the technical area.

Air Processing Unit (APU)

- Designed to achieve optimum energy utilization with Integrated Cooling and Heating system.
- The airflow is designed to have uniform conditions throughout the chamber.
- Custom designed supply and return air ducts particularly for chambers having larger storage volumes.
- Sleek APU design resulted in increased storage volume.

Additional features:

- Desktop based or Server based SCADA software for data management having support for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
- 100% redundant refrigeration systems with automatic changeover.
- 8 point temperature monitoring sensors for online mapping.
- Standby temperature sensors.
- Printer interface and data storage facility.
- Email and mobile alert systems.
- Ethernet communication protocol.
- Door Access Security system.
- Remote audio visual alarm.

Documentation:

- Complete with IQ, OQ, PQ documents
- Operation and Maintenance manuals
- Training to end users

Technical Data:
