Constant Temperature Incubator 136 L AF-HN136S ATOMFAIR®

Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 136 L

Research-grade laboratory product

Product Overview

Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 136 L is a practical chamber for bacterial culture, fermentation, constant-temperature experiments and laboratory incubation tasks. It brings together 136 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 450 x 550 x 550 mm and an external footprint of 585 x 700 x 860 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 600 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 must be operated on a stable surface with the exhaust vent unobstructed to maintain proper airflow and temperature control. The unit requires a power supply of AC220V 50Hz and must be kept upright during transport and installation to prevent damage.

Power Supply Requirement: The incubator requires a power supply of AC220V 50Hz as specified in the technical specifications.
Handling and Positioning: The unit must be kept upright during unloading and positioning to avoid damage to internal components.
Ventilation Constraint: The top exhaust vent must remain clear and the cabinet airflow path unobstructed during operation.
Temperature Range: The chamber operates within a temperature range of RT+5 to 100°C with a fluctuation of ±0.5°C.
Installation Space: The liner type, shelving, and installation space should be checked before placing the unit to ensure compatibility.

HowTo

Follow these steps to safely install and prepare the incubator for operation. Proper handling and ventilation are critical for reliable performance.

Required Equipment:

Inspect the Liner and Installation Space
Inspect the liner type, shelving, and installation space before placing the unit to ensure compatibility with the intended application.
Clear the Exhaust Vent
Verify that the top exhaust vent is clear and that the cabinet airflow path is unobstructed to maintain proper ventilation.
Keep the Unit Upright
Keep the incubator upright during unloading and positioning to prevent damage to internal components.
Match the Power Supply
Ensure the power supply matches the required AC220V 50Hz specification before connecting the unit.
Set the Temperature
Set the desired temperature using the smart digital PID controller, which supports timing and over-temperature alarm functions.

FAQ

How does the natural convection design affect temperature uniformity compared to forced-air incubators, and what is the stated temperature fluctuation?

The incubator uses natural convection, which provides stable temperature distribution for standard incubation tasks. The stated temperature fluctuation is ±0.5°C, with a resolution of 0.1°C. This trade-off means that while it is suitable for routine bacterial culture and fermentation, it may not achieve the same rapid recovery or uniformity as forced-air systems for high-throughput or sensitive applications.

Can the AF-HN136S incubator be integrated with external monitoring systems, and what communication interfaces are available?

Yes, the incubator supports optional RS485/232 interface and communication software, embedded printer, USB data storage, and a wireless alarm system for monitoring. Additionally, optional CO2 inlet and controller, as well as light-intensity detection and control, are available. These allow integration into data logging or remote monitoring setups, but the base unit does not include these interfaces; they must be ordered as optional accessories.

What are the critical installation and handling requirements for this precision constant temperature incubator to ensure proper operation?

The unit must be kept upright during unloading and positioning, and the exhaust vent must remain clear to avoid blocking airflow. The internal dimensions are 450 x 550 x 550 mm, and the external footprint is 585 x 700 x 860 mm, requiring adequate benchtop space. The power supply is AC220V 50Hz, 600W. The silicone sealing ring and top exhaust vent help maintain insulation and release moisture, so proper ventilation is essential.

Assessment

The AF-HN136S 136 L precision constant temperature incubator uses natural convection and a PID controller with self-tuning to maintain ±0.5 °C fluctuation from RT+5 to 100 °C, suitable for routine bacterial culture and fermentation. The galvanized cold-rolled steel liner and powder-coated exterior offer corrosion resistance and cleanability, but the 600 W input and AC220V 50Hz power requirement demand specific lab 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 tracking and rapid recovery after door openings for routine incubation tasks.
Natural convection stability: Natural convection provides uniform temperature distribution within the 136 L chamber (450 x 550 x 550 mm), supporting reliable day-to-day culture and fermentation without forced airflow disturbance.

Trade-offs

Power supply constraint: The unit requires AC220V 50Hz input at 600 W, which may not be compatible with 110V or 60Hz lab installations without a step-up transformer or frequency converter.
Galvanized liner corrosion risk: The S version uses a galvanized iron liner, which is less corrosion-resistant than stainless steel options; prolonged exposure to humid or acidic conditions may require more frequent cleaning or liner replacement.
