YSN 540 Nitrogen Cabinet 540L (YSN540)

The cabinets auto-sense mains voltage and accept AC 110 V or 220 V at 50 or 60 Hz, so the same unit works on either supply without a step-down transformer or an internal change. Power draw is modest and depends on capacity and grade — a 100 L grade A cabinet draws 10 W, while the largest 1430 L grade C cabinet draws 78 W. The figure for each model is listed in the specification table. The ovens are different: models up to 240 L run on single-phase AC 220 V, and from 420 L upward on three-phase AC 380 V.

Shelf load ratings rise with cabinet size: 20 kg per shelf at 100–160 L, 30 kg at 240 L, 40 kg at 320 L, 50 kg at 450–730 L, 60 kg at 880 L and 100 kg at 1430 L. The number of shelves also increases with capacity — from one shelf in the 100 L models to five in the 730 L and larger units, giving up to six storage tiers. If your load is denser than the standard rating, tell us the weight and we will confirm what the frame can take or specify reinforcement.

Low-humidity storage is standard practice for lithium cells and battery components, where moisture uptake degrades both the electrolyte and the electrode materials. Grade C (1–10% RH) is the usual specification for this work, and a nitrogen cabinet is common where oxidation of bare lithium or current-collector foils is also a concern. One point to be clear about: a dry cabinet controls humidity and atmosphere. It is not a fire-rated or explosion-proof enclosure, and it is not a substitute for the safety controls your process requires. Tell us the cell format and quantity and we will confirm the right configuration.

Yes — the cabinet is a closed steel enclosure with a tempered glass window and an internal dehumidifier, so it does not add particles to the room. Stainless steel and acrylic body constructions are available as options where the cleanroom protocol calls for them. If your facility has a specific particle or outgassing requirement, tell us the class and the applicable standard and we will confirm the build that satisfies it.

The body is cold-rolled steel with a 5 mm tempered glass viewing window and a mechanical door lock as standard. Shelves are steel with the load rating listed per capacity. Stainless steel and acrylic body options are available where corrosion resistance or cleanroom compatibility matters, and keypad or mechanical code locks can replace the standard lock for controlled-access situations.

Yes. A YSN cabinet works by displacing oxygen with nitrogen, so it needs a nitrogen line available at the installation point. The cabinet itself still dehumidifies to 1–60% RH, so it remains a humidity-controlled store even between purges. Tell us your available supply (purity, pressure, whether it is already piped to the location) when you enquire and we will confirm the connection requirement for the model you are considering.
