BINDER MK 240 dynamic climate chamber – Excellence for accelerated thermal testing
The BINDER MK 240 is a high-precision climate chamber designed to meet the most stringent environmental simulation requirements. It enables rapid thermal testing in a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +180 °C, making it an indispensable tool for research laboratories, quality departments, and industrial environments where the reliability of materials and components is crucial.
Thanks to the exclusive APT.line™ technology, the MK 240 guarantees perfect temperature uniformity throughout the chamber, even during extreme variations. This chamber preheating technology ensures uniform heat distribution, eliminating cold spots and ensuring reproducible results regardless of the load volume.
The chamber is equipped with a compressor cooling system using an environmentally friendly CFC-free refrigerant (R-452A). It offers an average heating rate of 5 K/min and a cooling rate of 4.5 K/min, enabling fast and controlled thermal transitions. The temperature drop time from 180°C to -40°C is only 110 minutes, optimising test cycles and reducing waiting times.
The user interface is intuitive and modern, with a colour touchscreen for real-time or segmented programming. The user can configure temperature ramps, activate condensation protection and monitor data via an integrated graphic recorder. Measurement data is recorded by an internal data logger and can be exported in open format via USB, facilitating analysis, traceability and regulatory compliance.
The MK 240 also features a heated window with LED lighting, allowing clear viewing of the sample without fogging. The stainless steel interior chamber ensures perfect hygiene and high durability. The class 2 thermal safety system, compliant with DIN 12880, protects sensitive samples in the event of a failure.
Connectivity is provided by a standard Ethernet interface, with the option of adding an RS 485 interface for integration into centralised management systems via the APT-COM™ software. This software allows multiple units to be managed, test parameters to be documented and compliance with GLP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards to be ensured.
The BINDER MK 240 is much more than just a climate chamber: it is a complete, reliable and scalable solution for accelerated thermal testing. It combines precision, safety, performance and flexibility, while complying with the most stringent environmental and industrial standards.
