PGC-150 Series LED Plant Growth Chambers (Natural Environment Simulation)

The entire PGC plant growth chamber series uses an LED lighting system designed for plant research and a wide range of applications. It provides precise, healthy environmental conditions and accurate control for plant growth, supporting reproducible and reliable experimental results. Applications include general plant growth and specimen cultivation for intermediate and higher plants; Arabidopsis/algae growth; plant tissue culture; and seed germination.

Intelligent Color Touchscreen

• An intelligent touchscreen controller provides program control of temperature, humidity, illuminance and time, with multi-segment gradient programming to simplify complex testing procedures and enable automatic control and operation;

LED Lighting System

Advantages of the LED Light Source

• No thermal interference: The LED beam produces no heat and selects useful light beneficial to plant growth;
• Energy saving and environmental protection: The LED light source consumes very little energy, approximately 80% less than ordinary light sources;
• Compact size: The LED light source features a compact, planar design with flexible configuration possibilities;
• Long service life: Provides precise, stable lighting with a service life exceeding 10,000 hours;
• Fast response: Overhead planar lighting ensures that cultures receive ample, uniform light, maintaining consistent experimental results; LED lighting system
• Control system: PGC plant growth chambers are equipped with an independently developed LED lighting control system that provides uniform, reliable illuminance;
• Modular design: LED lighting panels are modular, expandable and waterproof, with uniform distribution and a long service life;

Energy-Saving Refrigeration Control Technology

• An internationally branded compressor ensures continuous operation of the test equipment over extended periods. Environmentally friendly refrigerant (R134a), high efficiency and low energy consumption help save energy;
• Cooling-balanced PID automatic electronic expansion valve regulation provides high efficiency, low energy consumption and low temperature fluctuation, achieving overall energy savings of more than 30%;

Intelligent Data Processing

• USB data storage (optional) provides 4G of memory storage space. USB media can be used to store and download data;
• The wireless alarm system (optional), i.e. the SMS alarm function, immediately sends abnormal condition information to the designated recipient’s mobile phone when an equipment fault occurs, enabling prompt troubleshooting and resumption of testing to avoid accidental losses;
• Tiered access management (optional) provides multiple assignable accounts. Controller operating permissions can be assigned at three account levels—administrator, operator and visitor—according to equipment management requirements;

Safe and Stable Construction Design

• SUS304 stainless steel chamber;
• Polyurethane foam construction throughout the unit saves energy, is environmentally friendly and has low energy consumption;
• Shelf supports are freely removable, with adjustable vertical spacing;
• An effective air duct design maintains temperature and humidity uniformity at each shelf within a stable range;

Humidity Control (H & HC Series)

• A high-accuracy humidity sensor capable of operating at high temperatures precisely monitors humidity in real time;

CO2 Concentration Monitoring and Control (Optional)

• CO2 concentration control range: I: 0-1%, II: 0-2%, III: 0-10% (choose one of the three)
• An IR infrared CO2 concentration sensor is unaffected by temperature and humidity, providing accurate, reliable control;

Illuminance Monitoring and Control (Optional)

• An optical sensor monitors and controls illuminance, reducing attenuation and errors caused by lamp aging and overcoming shortcomings in existing domestically manufactured illuminated plant chamber monitoring and control systems;

Safety Functions

Equipment Protection:

A secondary temperature limit alarm system conforming to international standards automatically cuts off heating if heating becomes uncontrolled or the maximum temperature limit is exceeded, and alerts the operator audibly and visually to ensure safe equipment operation without accidents;

Protection of Key Components:

Key electrical components have overcurrent, overtemperature, overload and other safety protections to prevent equipment accidents;

Sample Protection:

When the chamber temperature exceeds the set temperature, an alarm is triggered, the heater is disconnected, and audible and visual warnings alert the operator, protecting normal sample testing against accidents;

Optional chamber door safety lock: Prevents unauthorized personnel from opening the door and affecting testing, and prevents accidental door opening during testing that could expose laboratory personnel to harmful UV light;

Protection of operating settings: A password-protected user control panel prevents incorrect operation by non-laboratory personnel. Fault information: When an equipment fault occurs, fault information appears on the display so that it is immediately apparent;
