EK250 emissions test chamber: precise characterisation of VOCs according to ISO 16000-9
Indoor air quality is directly influenced by the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by materials commonly used in the building industry, such as adhesives, paints, furniture and other furnishings. In order to assess these emissions, international standards recommend the use of specific test chambers. The EK250 chamber from Olfasense meets this need precisely, offering a rigorous testing solution that complies with ISO 16000-9.
With a capacity of 250 litres, this chamber simulates a closed environment in which the products being tested release their gaseous emissions. Its "emission-free" design limits the influence of the external environment on the results, ensuring reliable and reproducible analyses. Its electropolished stainless steel coating (DIN X 5 CrNi 18 10) prevents any interference with the compounds being analysed.
The EK250 can be integrated into a standard climate chamber (BINDER BF 720, optional), allowing tests to be carried out at temperatures up to 70°C. This flexibility is enhanced by a miniClima humidity control device and an adjustable ventilation system that guarantee stable conditions throughout the test. The use of a hot-wire anemometer enables precise measurement of the air velocity above the sample.
Designed for integration into laboratories specialising in VOC emissions, this chamber can also be continuously monitored via a data interface, with monitoring and evaluation options via a computer (optional). It is compatible with several chambers operating in parallel thanks to a serial/IP converter ( optional), which optimises analysis protocols in multi-sample test environments.
Compact (1000 x 600 x 800 mm) and weighing 60 kg, the EK250 combines robustness and efficiency. It is an essential tool for all professionals wishing to characterise material emissions according to strict and reliable criteria, in compliance with current international standards.
