MTPS Series

Product catalog summary

Product Overview and Applications
Conviron's MTPS series offers a modular, multi-tier chamber designed for plant growth research, particularly suitable for C3 and low-light plants. The chamber is ideal for mass-screening and large-scale plant propagation, featuring three independently lit tiers with pressurized side-wall plenums for air distribution.

Lighting
The MTPS chambers use a combination of T8 fluorescent and halogen incandescent lamps to provide a broad light spectrum. Lighting levels can be adjusted using the CMP6060 control system, with options for higher intensities and flexible lamp canopy arrangements.

Airflow
Uniform horizontal airflow is achieved through perforated sidewall plenums, allowing for the use of multiple plant trays without airflow obstruction. Adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust openings facilitate air exchange management.

Refrigeration
The chambers are equipped with a water-cooled condensing unit and hot gas bypass for continuous operation. An electronic modulating valve ensures precise temperature control. Alternative refrigeration options are available based on specific requirements.

Experiment Protection
User-programmable alarms provide accurate monitoring of chamber conditions, with backup alarms for additional protection. Visual and audible notifications are included, along with connectivity to building management systems.

Key Product Attributes

Modular design for variable sizes
Multi-tier configuration for maximizing growth area
Horizontal airflow for unobstructed use of plant flats
Certifications: CCSAUS (NRTL), CE

Performance Data
