HM-436
Floor
The Model HM-436 is a steady-state temperature and humidity test chamber specially designed for hydrogen-maser atomic clocks.
With 34.6 cubic feet of workspace, the HM-436 is designed to generate and control temperature and humidity environments at and above +23°C (+73.4°F) at 35% relative humidity.
The test chamber is designed for minimal maintenance. Run long-term tests at a constant, steady-state temperature and humidity, or cycle testing with well-tuned reliability. It is known for its ability to run unparalleled tight temperature and humidity control.
HM test chambers feature heating systems equipped with open ceramic-core nichrome heaters for reliable and accurate temperature control within ±0.5°C (±1.0°F).
The humidity system is tuned to operate at a constant 35% relative humidity. For humidification, a vapor generator system incorporating stainless steel blower wheels is used to introduce water vapor into the chamber. The system utilizes safeties to de-energize the vapor generator in the event of no water to the generator tank. Dehumidification is accomplished with a mechanical refrigeration system.
The cooling system consists of a self-contained, compact, mechanical, single-stage refrigeration system.
The HM-436 has casters to increase mobility and offer flexibility in your laboratory. Two doors, front and back, open fully into the workspace and includes a removable ramp. Two power outlets are housed inside the workspace. A 3-inch port on the right side is centered in the workspace from top-to-bottom and front-to-back.
The standard instrumentation includes two manual-set digital controllers for independent control of the temperature and humidity.

*Rise and pull-down rates calculated using IEC 60068-3-5 standard. Custom options available.
*Ideal ambient temperature conditions for test chambers is 23°C (73.4°F). The temperature and humidity range of assured performance is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F/77°F) and 30-50% relative humidity. Conditions outside this range may affect the performance of your test chamber and reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
Notice for California Customers (SB1206):
For test chambers shipped to California, please consult our sales team regarding the use of R449A refrigerant (where applicable). This substitution ensures compliance with SB1206 regulations.
