High-power UVC irradiation chamber BSH-02 for UVC curing and spore inactivation

The BSH-02 is a high-power UVC irradiation chamber for UVC curing, UVC bonding and the high-energy irradiation of samples such as bacteria and spores. At 85 mW/cm² it reaches an irradiance 750 % higher than the BS series, so high doses are applied in a short time. Five ozone-free UVC amalgam lamps with a total of 750 W irradiate a sample chamber of 46 × 32 × 25 cm; ozone-generating lamps are available as an alternative. The sample chamber temperature is about 45 °C in operation.

The actual irradiance inside the chamber can be verified with our UV meters and radiometers.

The BSH-02 has compact outer dimensions and the interior irradiation chamber has a base area of 46 x 32 cm and a height of 25 cm. The sample chamber operating temperature is about 45°C so that thermal damage to the specimen is minimized. Due to the high uniformity of the irradiation, the samples may be positioned in any order.

The irradiation control UV-MAT can control two spectral ranges separately and achieves a constant dose independent of lamp aging, contamination or temperature. The dose is measured with calibrated sensors. For this purpose, the sensor already contains an extremely precise analog-digital converter and a temperature sensor. The integrated diffuser ensures the required cosine correction. Excellent long-term stability is achieved through the use of appropriate materials. The sensors are calibrated with traceability to PTB (Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt, the German national test authority); after being calibrated, they are supplied with a factory calibration certificate. The memory in the sensor contains all sensor identifications and the calibration history.

The UV-MAT can optionally be controlled by a PC. This allows multi-stage irradiation and documentation of the irradiation.
