Reading a datasheet

What to Compare on a Growth Chamber Datasheet

SpecificationWhat to check
Temperature rangeThe range with lights on and with lights off; high light raises the lowest achievable temperature
Temperature stabilityStated as ± °C; typically ±0.5 °C on Percival chambers
Light intensityµmol/m²/s at a stated distance from the lamps, usually 15 cm
Growing heightClear height from shelf to lamps; decides final plant size
Shelf area and tiersTotal growing area and number of independently lit tiers
Humidity and CO₂Whether included or optional, and the controllable range
Exterior dimensionsCheck door widths and ceiling height at your site
Tender and compliance documents

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, as a reference. Write the specification around your experimental needs, such as temperature range, light intensity at plant height, capacity and options, rather than copying one model. We can help draft it.

Percival states light intensity at a defined distance from the lamps, typically 15 cm. Compare models at the same distance.

The JKG-41 and JKG-66 brochures list the series, specifications and options.
