2.2 Description
Appliance size 110 to 1060 Description
HPPeco & IPPecoplus The appliance can heat the interior up to +70 °C and cool it down to +5 °C. 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).
HPPeco Additionally, the humidity in the interior can be regulated between 10% rh and 90% rh
(rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by the evaporation of water from
a tank which is then fed into the interior and reduced by 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 %.
Appliance size 1400 to 2200 Description
HPPeco & IPPecoplus The appliance can heat the interior up to 60 ºC and cool it down to 15 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).
Constant climate chambers HPPeco Additionally, the humidity in the interior can be regulated between 15% rh and 80% rh
(rh = relative humidity). The humidity is increased by the evaporation of water from
a tank which is then fed into the interior and reduced by condensation on a Peltier
module.
