Bohlender Sicco V1914-01 automatische exsiccator 311 liter

Bohlender Sicco V1914-01 Auto-Maxi 1 exsiccatorkast

With automatic drying that can maintain a constant humidity of between 20% and 30%, SICCO Automatic Desiccators are suitable for long-term storage. Even frequent opening of the door is compensated automatically. They are the ideal solution for storing reference samples, electronics, photo equipment, papers, valuable cultural assets and much more.

SICCO Electronic Dehumidification System

How it works:

The essential components of the drying unit are dustless, colour-changing silica gel desiccant beads and two fans.

The automatic dehumidification and desiccant regeneration cycle operates continuously every 20 minutes as follows:

The circulating fan draws for 14 minutes interior chamber air across the desiccant and thus dehumidifies the chamber. During this phase, the oneway flap valves are open to the interior of the desiccator and closed to the exterior.

Afterwards the cirulating fan is stopped and the silica gel is heated electronically to initiate its regeneration. After one minute, the regeneration fan starts to operate and draws air in an opposite direction to the first fan. Due to the air flow, the one-way flap valves to the interior of the chamber are closed and the valves to the exterior environment are open. The desiccant is heated for another four minutes to release the captured moisture to the ambient air.

At the end of the cycle, the circulating fan operates for one minute with ambient air to cool down the desiccant to the ambient temperature.
Then the cycle starts again.

Drying Performance

Test procedure:

After a pre drying period of 10 minutes, a humidity of 100 % is simulated in an Automatic-Desiccator. The desiccator is switched on, the door remains closed tightly until the end of the test. The curves show relative humidity versus time.

Results:

After only 10 hours, the relative humidity inside the desiccator is down to 10 % due to automatic drying. Frequent controls are not necessary. The storage space is bigger since it is not necessary to use silica gel and process errors are avoided.
