Long-Term Cycle Testing
The test interruption function and the 5-cycle count function are standard features, making it easy to perform checks during testing and to add samples mid-test. The liquid tank type has improved airtightness, significantly reducing heat transfer fluid consumption and facilitating continuous operation.

*Can be operated in an ambient temperature from 0 to 40℃, a cooling water inlet temperature from 5 to 38℃, and a power supply voltage within ±10% rated voltage.
*Performance values are given under these conditions: (1) ambient humidity of 23℃/60% or less, cooling water inlet temperature of 25℃, and The power supply voltage is within ±5% of the rated voltage. However, conditions will vary for the following:
*1: The temperature return time is the point in time where the temperature reaches ±2℃ of the set high temperature or low temperature.
*2: The listed number of cycles available for continuous operation assumes no testing cycle suspension and no testing tank door opening/closing.
*When using continuous operation, be sure to perform defrosting with the following guidelines in mind.
(1) Two-zone operation: This testing apparatus can be set to continuous operation for up to 1,000 cycles (but only for up to 500 hours). However, ambient
temperature conditions or usage conditions could cause frost to form on the low-temperature tank cooler, preventing continuous operation. In such a
case, set a shorter continuous operation time and perform defrosting.
(2) Three-zone operation: Set one defrosting operation every 12 to 24 hours at maximum (but only once per 10 to 20 cycles maximum). These are
recommendations for continuous operation, and are not meant to guarantee temperature cycle performance. Excessive continuous operation could
cause frost to form on the cooler inside the low-temperature chamber, which could activate the safeguard and stop the system in error.

| Series | Cooling method | Sample basket capacity | heating medium |
| Excellent (Liquid-to-Liquid) |
Air-cooling | 5.6L | Liquids |
| 9.4L |
The Liquid-to-Liquid type immerses samples alternately in high- and low-temperature liquids. The system uses a heat transfer fluid to change sample temperature faster than in Air-to-Air type systems.

The system uses a heat transfer fluid to change sample temperature faster than in Air-to-Air type systems.
Three Measures to Reduce Heating Medium Consumption
- The miniaturization of the test chamber reduced the evaporation volume of the heat transfer fluid.
- We have increased the airtightness of the test system to prevent external fluid leakage.
- The test system incorporates a “heat transfer fluid steam recovery system” to reduce consumption by efficiently recovering and reusing the heat transfer fluid.
Heat transfer fluid consumption reduced by approximately 75% in 1,000 cycles
