Associated Environmental BD-104 Benchtop Chamber

**Associated Environmental BD-104 Technical Overview**

The Associated Environmental BD-104 is a liquid-cooled laboratory oven designed for environmental testing. It features forced hot air circulation and rapid cooling capabilities, utilizing liquid nitrogen (LN2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) for cryogenic temperatures. This benchtop unit is constructed with a durable powder-coat finish over heavy-gauge steel and a stainless steel interior, offering efficient thermal insulation for longevity. The BD-104 is suitable for applications such as aging, baking, curing, and drying, providing precise temperature control for repeatable results in compact laboratory or production environments.
