Abstract
A thermo-hygrostat device maintains uniform temperature and humidity inside a chamber. One example of such a device can include, among others, a chamber in which a sample is accommodated and internal temperature and humidity can be controlled; a lower duct provided on a first side of the chamber and sending a fluid inside the chamber to an outside of the chamber; a temperature and humidity control portion provided on the lower duct and controlling temperature and humidity of a fluid received from the lower duct.
Claims12
A thermo-hygrostat device comprising:
- a chamber in which a sample is accommodated, in which internal temperature and humidity are controlled to predetermined temperature and humidity, and which comprises a plurality of holes provided on a surface thereof;
- a first duct provided on a first side of the chamber and sending a fluid inside the chamber to an outside of the chamber;
- a temperature and humidity control portion provided on the first duct and controlling temperature and humidity of a fluid received from the first duct;
- a fluid transfer portion provided on the temperature and humidity control portion and sending a fluid received from the temperature and humidity control portion;
- a second duct comprising a first portion of the second duct provided on the fluid transfer portion and a second portion of the second duct provided on the surface of the chamber and communicating with the first portion of the second duct;
- and
- a fluid suction portion provided on the first side of the chamber and configured to send the fluid inside the chamber to the first duct,
- wherein the first portion of the second duct sends a fluid received from the fluid transfer portion to the second portion of the second duct, and the second portion of the second duct sends a fluid received from the first portion of the second duct into the chamber through the plurality of holes,
- wherein the fluid transfer portion sends the fluid toward the first portion of the second duct,
- wherein the second portion of the second duct covers the plurality of holes,
- wherein the fluid suction portion is configured to suck the fluid inside the chamber, and the first duct is provided to cover the fluid suction portion to receive the fluid discharged from the fluid suction portion and deliver the received fluid to the temperature and humidity control portion provided on the first duct,
- wherein the first duct, the temperature and humidity control portion provided on the first duct, and the fluid transfer portion provided on the temperature and humidity control portion are sequentially arranged on the first side of the chamber;
- wherein the fluid suction portion is disposed between the chamber and the first duct and comprises a plurality of openings configured to send the fluid inside the chamber to the lower duct,
- wherein each of the plurality of holes has a predetermined length and width and is spaced apart from an adjacent hole in a width direction, and wherein the predetermined length of each of the plurality of holes extends along the first side of the chamber, wherein the second duct is spaced apart from the plurality of holes to define a space therebetween,
- wherein the first duct is disposed in contact with the first side of the chamber.
