Warm Rooms

The ideal solution for applications like incubation or ramping, warm rooms offer stable, reliable performance year after year.

Varying in size from small step-in units to large stability storage areas with multiple air handlers—and with a range of temperatures from +10°C to over 70°C (with uniformity of ± 0.5°C)—ES warm rooms can meet the complex demands of anyone seeking a high-quality testing environment.

Our warm rooms can be designed with RH set point-control that allows for humidity control down to +/- 3%.

Environmental Specialties warm rooms can be used for:

• Stability and shelf life studies
• Cell and tissue culture
• Raw material, bulk product storage, and conditioning
• General laboratory incubation and pharmaceutical sterility studies
• Animal holding chambers
• Insect rearing and controlled growth
• Thermal cycling
• Product stress testing and burn in
• TAPPI / ASTM product test chambers

Standard Features

• Modular, metal skinned panels with urethane-insulated tongue-and-groove construction for chamber enclosure
• “Cam-locking” construction with vinyl gasketed seams fitted on the interior and exterior of each panel to provide moisture and vapor-tight seal
• Low-height aluminum ceiling plenum housing of DX and chilled-water evaporator coils
• Totally accessible hinged drain pan for maintenance and cleaning of all interior plenum components
• ECM fan motors for energy efficiency, which are rated for operating temperatures and remoted from chamber interior when necessary
• Automatic defrosting with refrigerant hot gas a for quick and efficient operation set to 0.1ºC unit resolution
• Semi-hermetic, continually operating compressors for extended equipment life and increased control and uniformity
• Air cooled or water-cooled condensing units
• Uniform horizontal and vertical air distribution through a lay-in ceiling air distribution system with anodized aluminum support
• Fully accessible control panel to efficiently and securely house all controls, alarms, recording devices and communication networks
• Bench-testing of complete control panel and electrical devices prior to shipment
• Control panel certification built to MET, UL 508A
• Conformance to FDA 21 CFR11 requirements for data recording, audit trails of controller settings modification, alarm history logs, operator event logs, and secure file transfers
• Touchscreen system control of chamber parameters with 0.1ºC resolution for temperature and 0.1% resolution for RH
• Electrical wiring to National Electric Code (NEC)
• Vapor-proof LED, fluorescent, incandescent, or high-bay light fixtures
• Factory leak testing of all refrigeration assemblies prior to shipment
• Factory leak testing standards: Helium mass spectrometer to 1E-5, nitrogen leak testing unit coolers 300 pounds, condensing units 175 pounds, evacuations minimum 200 microns
