Constant Temperature Incubator 15.6 L AF-HN16S ATOMFAIR®

Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 15.6 L

Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 15.6 L is a practical chamber for bacterial culture, fermentation, constant-temperature experiments and laboratory incubation tasks. It brings together 15.6 l of usable space, RT+5 to 100 C, so the chamber can keep samples in a steady, repeatable working condition.

The series features a cleanable chamber layout, adjustable shelf spacing, a top exhaust valve for moisture removal and a silicone sealing ring that helps with insulation and noise reduction. The cabinet uses a vertical frame cabinet with high-quality cold-rolled plate forming, a powder-coated exterior, a silicone sealing ring and a top exhaust vent, with an internal working room of 250 x 250 x 250 mm and an external footprint of 385 x 415 x 565 mm. That combination of chamber size, shell build and liner material makes the unit easier to place, clean and use in routine laboratory work.

The series uses natural convection and precise temperature control to keep the chamber stable for routine culture and thermal test work. The stated input power is 300 W, and the timer range is 0 to 9999 min. It is well suited to the day-to-day work listed above, including culture, incubation, climate simulation or illuminated growth tasks, depending on the family.

Performance Features

PID temperature control supports accurate setpoint management during routine incubation. This supports more stable setpoint tracking and quicker recovery after door openings.
Timing, over-temperature alarm, deviation correction and self-tuning improve operating safety and ease of use. This helps protect samples and alerts operators when abnormal conditions occur.
Natural convection provides stable temperature distribution for standard incubation tasks. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
Silicone sealing and a top exhaust vent help maintain insulation while releasing moisture. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
Powder-coated cold-rolled steel construction improves cabinet durability and appearance. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
The S and BS liner options support different cleaning and corrosion-resistance preferences. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Suitable for bacterial culture, fermentation, constant-temperature experiments and laboratory incubation tasks in universities, laboratories, research institutes and quality-control environments that need controlled chamber performance.

HANDLING: Check the liner type, shelving and installation space before placing the unit. Keep the exhaust vent clear and avoid blocking the cabinet airflow path. Every unit is shipped with reinforced packaging for transport safety; keep the unit upright during unloading and positioning.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The controller supports timing, over-temperature alarm, temperature-deviation correction and self-tuning functions. The optional accessories listed on this page are communication, printing, USB storage, alarm and gas-intake add-ons. Any quoted amount refers to the chamber body only and does not include freight. Freight should be confirmed separately according to the delivery destination.

Supplier: Atomfair

Brand: ATOMFAIR®

The incubator requires a grounded AC220V 50Hz power supply and must be placed with the exhaust vent unobstructed to maintain proper airflow. The galvanized steel liner is suitable for standard incubation but may require corrosion monitoring in high-humidity environments.

Power Supply Constraint: The unit must be connected to a grounded AC220V 50Hz power source.
Ventilation Constraint: The top exhaust vent must remain clear to prevent overheating and ensure stable temperature control.
Temperature Range Constraint: The operating temperature range is RT+5 to 100°C with a fluctuation of ±0.5°C.
Liner Material Constraint: The galvanized iron liner (S version) may corrode under prolonged high-humidity conditions; periodic inspection is recommended.

HowTo

Position the incubator on a level surface with clear ventilation. Connect to a grounded AC220V 50Hz supply, set the desired temperature, and load samples on the shelves.

Position the incubator
Position the unit upright on a level surface with the exhaust vent unobstructed.
Connect power
Connect the power cord to a grounded AC220V 50Hz outlet.
Set temperature
Set the desired temperature using the PID controller's digital interface.
Load samples
Place samples on the shelves, ensuring adequate spacing for air circulation.
Activate timer and alarm
Activate the timer if required, and confirm the over-temperature alarm is enabled.

FAQ

What is the temperature fluctuation and control precision of the Atomfair AF-HN16S 15.6 L incubator, and how does the natural convection system affect temperature uniformity?

The temperature fluctuation is ±0.5°C with a resolution of 0.1°C, as specified in the technical datasheet. The natural convection design provides stable temperature distribution suitable for standard incubation tasks, ensuring reliable chamber conditions for bacterial culture and fermentation without the need for forced airflow.

Can the AF-HN16S incubator be upgraded with CO2 control for cell culture applications?

Yes, the incubator supports optional CO2 inlet and CO2 controller accessories, along with optional light-intensity detection and control. While the standard configuration is optimized for bacterial culture and constant-temperature experiments, these add-ons allow expanded use for CO2-controlled applications, though the unit is not certified for mammalian cell culture out of the box.

What are the power and installation requirements for the Atomfair AF-HN16S precision constant temperature incubator?

The incubator requires AC220V 50Hz power supply with 300W input. The external dimensions are 385 x 415 x 565 mm, internal working space is 250 x 250 x 250 mm, and net weight is 13 kg. Ensure the top exhaust vent remains clear, avoid blocking cabinet airflow, and keep the unit upright during transport and positioning. The controller includes over-temperature alarm and self-tuning functions for safe operation.

Assessment

The Atomfair AF-HN16S Precision Constant Temperature Incubator (15.6 L) uses natural convection and a PID controller with self-tuning to maintain ±0.5°C fluctuation from RT+5 to 100°C, suitable for bacterial culture and fermentation. The galvanized steel liner and powder-coated shell offer corrosion resistance, but the 300 W input and AC220V 50Hz requirement limit deployment to facilities with that specific power infrastructure.

Positive

PID control with self-tuning: The smart digital PID controller includes timing, over-temperature alarm, deviation correction, and self-tuning, enabling stable setpoint management and rapid recovery after door openings for routine incubation tasks.
Galvanized steel liner durability: The galvanized cold-rolled steel inner liner and powder-coated exterior shell provide corrosion resistance and cleanability, supporting reliable long-term use in bacterial culture and fermentation applications.

Trade-offs

AC220V 50Hz power requirement: The incubator requires AC220V 50Hz power supply, which may necessitate a voltage converter or dedicated circuit in facilities using 110V or 60Hz mains, adding infrastructure cost and complexity.
Natural convection limits uniformity: Natural convection provides stable temperature distribution for standard tasks but may exhibit slower thermal equilibration and reduced uniformity compared to forced-air systems, particularly at higher setpoints near 100°C.
