The Conviron Growth House™ offers the large growth capacity of a research greenhouse with the tight temperature, light and humidity controls of a reach-in chamber.

Lighting

• Various lighting configurations are available.  For example, units can be designed with a High IntensityDischarge (HID) lighting and support system similar to that used in a high-performance researchgreenhouse.  This enables units to achieve light level intensities similar to those of Conviron's standardwalk-in rooms.  Other lighting systems, features and options can be designed to your specifications.

Airflow

• Using an innovative design, a top-down airflow pattern uniformly disperses conditioned air from the topof each plenum and returns the air through conditioning coils located at the bottom of the chamber area.Filtered and adjustable fresh air intake and exhaust openings enable researchers to manage exchange air tothe chamber.

Refrigeration

• Cooling for the Conviron Growth House™ is provided by a self-contained water-cooled condensing unit withhot gas bypass for continuous compressor operation.  An electronic modulating valve provides tight temperaturecontrol while ensuring quiet operation.  Pressure transducers monitor the status of the refrigeration system.Alternative refrigeration methods are available depending on site-specific and/or user defined requirements.Information on heat rejection and other refrigeration options are available upon request.

Experiment Protection

• User programmable alarms track the unit’s operation versus user-defined set points.  This allows forexceptionally accurate monitoring without the need for adjustment every time the set point is redefined.Backup “high/low” alarms provide a further level ofprotection while visual and audible notification is providedwhen any alarm is activated.  Contacts for connection to abuilding management system are also included.
