Controlled Atmosphere (CA) Chamber

A controlled ambient chamber is a specialized storage facility designed to maintain products at stable ambient conditions—not chilled or frozen, but carefully regulated in terms of temperature, humidity, and air circulation. It’s often used for commodities that don’t require refrigeration but still need protection from fluctuations in the external environment.

Key Features

• Temperature Stability: Maintains a consistent ambient range (often 15 °C to 25 °C), preventing heat spikes or cold drafts.
• Humidity Control: Keeps relative humidity within safe limits to avoid mold, moisture damage, or dehydration.
• Air Quality: Uses filtered airflow to reduce dust and contaminants.
• Insulated Construction: Prefabricated panels help buffer against external climate variations.
• Monitoring Systems: Sensors track and log conditions for compliance and quality assurance.

Applications:

• Pharmaceuticals: Medicines, vaccines, and biologics that require controlled ambient storage (not refrigeration).
• Food Industry: Dry goods, packaged foods, grains, and spices.
• Agriculture: Seeds and certain produce that need stable ambient conditions.
• Electronics & Chemicals: Sensitive materials that degrade under uncontrolled humidity or temperature.

Advantages:

• Prevents spoilage and degradation without the high energy costs of refrigeration.
• Ensures compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and export standards.
• Flexible use for multi-commodity storage.
• Cost-effective compared to cold or freezer rooms.
