Ecological Chambers Inc.

Enconair

Manufacturer of Plant Growth Chambers & Rooms, Tissue Culture Chambers & Rooms, Incubators, Seed Germinators, and Environmental Rooms.

The company, Ecological Chambers Inc. trades under the name
'Enconair'. Enconair manufactures Plant Growth Chambers,
Environmental Rooms, Tissue Culture Chambers/Rooms, Seed
Germinators and Incubators. Expertise is in the enginering and
manufacturing of Chambers where Temperature, Lighting, Humidity
and Carbon Dioxide control is of critical importance. The
company's 'Growth Room' series of products was designed as a cost
effective replacement for greenhouses, and experience has shown
that Plant Growth Rooms are less expensive to buy than Research
Greenhouses. Enconair has developed the vertical air flow system
through the shelves as used in the Tissue Culture Chambers and
Rooms, with the advantage that condensation does not form on
petrie dishes. This system has become the standard in the Plant
Growth Industry.

Four more new leading edge products have recently been developed:

- A new Computer Controller that is sold with each chamber
manufactured by Enconair, which runs a Windows 95 software
program to control Temperature, Lights, Humidity and Carbon
Dioxide. Enconair software is very user friendly and has a
touchscreen interface. Each of the control parameters can be
graphed and data saved to disk.

- A new Refrigeration Defrost System that will allow Plant
Scientists to conduct experiments at -5 degrees C. without
deviation for defrost. This system is less expensive to purchase
than other systems in the market and the technology can be
adpated to small Plant Growth Chambers. The result is Plant
Scientists can study the effects of freezing on plants for a lot
less money.

- The company has produced the first energy-efficient Plant
Growth Chamber in the marketplace. This new design results in a
significant reduction in electrical consumption. An
'Energy-Efficient Plant Growth Chamber' is presently being tested
at an Agriculture Canada Research Station.

- Enconair has the ability to anticipate the failure of
Refrigeration System on Plant Growth Chambers before it happens.
The Refrigeration is monitored by the use of Pressure and
Temperature Sensors that are strategically located in the
refrigeration system, giving advance notice of when a failure
will occur; thus preventing the loss of a plant experiment. With
a modem installed on the Chamber Controller, this critical
information can be sent via the telephone lines back to the
factory.

Other products which Enconair is presently developing include
improved Temperature Control, improved Humidity Control, improved
Carbon Dioxide Control, HID and LED Lighting Systems.

Ecological Chambers Inc. is presently working towards becoming
ISO 9001 Certified. Projected completion date in June 1998.
