Advanced Hotplate
  • Custom Sweating Hotplate
  • Capable of Operating within a 50 -150% Atmopheric Pressure Range
  • Operates in Ambient Conditions of -40
  • Can Be Oriented from 0 to 180 Degrees
  • Downward Airflow Plenum for Maximum Thermal Accuracy

In 2003 the University of Alberta asked MTNW to build a sweating hotplate system that would be capable of operating within a 50-150% atmospheric pressure range, in ambient conditions as low as -40C, and in orientations from 0-180 degrees. MTNW engineers responded by creating a unique SGHP design with downdraft airflow plenum for maximum thermal accuracy across the entire sample, and contained it all within a stainless steel pressure vessel with rotating stand. External pumps provided water and airspace (pressure/vacuum) conditioning.
