Product Overview/Applications
The MTR30 Plant Growth Chamber offers a doubled growth area compared to the MPGR15, with two shelves providing 30ft² (2.79m²) of growth space and 25 inches (635mm) of growth height. It is ideal for short to medium height plants requiring moderate light intensity. The chamber is fully assembled, fits through standard doorways, and is suitable for spaces with low ceilings. Meditech offers consultation for specific applications and research needs.

Lighting
The chamber features a standard light intensity of 600 micromoles/m²/s using T8 fluorescent and halogen incandescent lamps, providing a broad lighting spectrum. Lighting is adjustable in two levels per lamp type and monitored by a quantum light meter. The refrigeration system manages lamp heat.

Experiment Protection
User-programmable alarms allow for precise monitoring of chamber operations against set points, with backup high/low alarms for additional protection. Visual and audible notifications are provided for alarm activation, and connections to building management systems are included.

Key Product Attributes

• 31ft² growth area and 25 inches growth height over two shelves.
• Low overall height of 78 inches for low ceilings.
• Fully assembled and fits through standard doorways.
• CE certified.

Airflow
Airflow is distributed through two Meditech Uni-floor systems, ensuring uniform air distribution. Adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust ports allow up to 20 ft³/min (0.57m³/min) of air exchange.

Refrigeration
The chamber uses a self-contained water-cooled condensing unit with hot gas bypass for continuous operation. An electronic modulating valve ensures tight temperature control and quiet operation, with pressure transducers for monitoring.
