Construction and description
2.2 Description
The appliance can heat the working chamber up to 70 ºC and cool it down to 5 ºC. Low-
noise, long-life and energy-saving Peltier cooling and heating technology is used for this. In
heating operation, a part of the required energy is extracted from the surroundings (heat
pump principle).
Additionally, the humidity in the interior of constant climate chambers HPP can be regulated
between 10 and 90 % rh (rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by water from a
tank being evaporated and fed into the interior, and is reduced through condensation on a
Peltier module.
Optionally, the appliance can be equipped with a light module, making it possible to adjust
the interior lighting in steps of 1 %.
2.3 Working range of constant climate chambers HPP
The temperature-humidity diagram (Fig. 3) specifies at what range of temperature and humid-
ity a permanent, condensation-free operation of the constant climate chamber HPP is possible.
Caution:
If in operation for long periods at the upper level or outside the working range, puddles
of water may form inside the chamber and water may force its way out of the door seal.

D24030 | Date 11/2018 11
Construction and description
Range A:
In this range, temperature and humidity can be combined as you please, without resulting in
any significant condensation. If there are extreme ambient conditions, the working range may
be restricted.
Range B:
If the specified range is exceeded upwards, e.g. 80 % rh at 60°C, the hot steam fed in will im-
mediately condense, due to the dew-point, at the coldest point in the appliance.
Range C:
At low temperatures and low relative air humidity, the effective range is heavily dependent on
the degree of humidity of the chamber load.
2.4 Material
For the outer housing, MEMMERT deploys stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4016 – ASTM 430) and
for the interior, stainless steel (Mat.No. 1.4301 – ASTM 304) is used, which stands out through
its high stability, optimal hygienic properties and corrosion-resistance towards many (but not
all!) chemical compounds (caution for example with chlorine compounds).
The chamber load for the appliance must be carefully checked for chemical compatibility with
the materials mentioned. A material resistance table can be requested from the manufacturer.
2.5 Electrical equipment
