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.

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
