Thermostatic test chamber MK 1020

climatictemperatureCO2

Product description
The MK CO₂ series environmental simulation chambers are engineered for dynamic temperature testing and complex temperature profiles. High alternating rates enable rapid temperature changes and ensure reproducible, standards-compliant tests. The standard feature set covers many application needs while using natural CO₂ (R744) as refrigerant for specific refrigeration requirements.
