Warm Rooms

BioCold doesn't just build cold rooms. Many of our rooms today are designed as incubators, or as wide-range rooms for operation at a variety of temperature and humidity conditions.

For rooms operating at ambient temperatures and above, BioCold uses a refrigeration reheat system, providing a small, constant refrigeration load to offset the heat generated within the room by fan motors and other system components. Resistive heaters are then pulsed to control room temperature within a few tenths of a degree, using microprocessor-based PID controls.

Many warm rooms also require elevated humidity. BioCold's ultrasonic vapor generator provides a finitely-controlled humidifier which can be autotuned for straightline temperature control. The water vapor is injected directly into the air handler, and dispersed uniformly throughout the room.

Other features of BioCold warm rooms include:

  • Simple, easy-to-use, easy-to-service control systems and wiring circuits. BioCold temperature controllers are "works in a drawer" and can be easily replaced without disconnecting a single wire. PLCs and printed circuit boards have their purpose, but only add unnecessary complexity to a standard cold room.
  • GFCI circuit breakers mounted in the control console load center provide ground fault protection for all receptacles within the room
  • Umbrella airflow air handling system eliminates the need for a drop grid ceiling, eliminating a common, difficult-to-clean, area of dust and mold spore collection
  • 2" thick cam-locked floors, available with foamed-in-place diamond tread finish, offer 20" long ADA ramps and durable nonslip working floor surface supporting up to 600psf without reinforcement
  • Absolutely no wood in wall or floor panels. Particularly in incubator rooms, wood absorbs water, swells, and rots over time, and should be avoided
  • Optional Honeywell chart recorders, Dickson data loggers, and RS485 modbus communications to building automation or monitoring systems
