Abstract: A housing for a gassing incubator has an interior container, which can be sealed off thermally with respect to the outer atmosphere, whose interior space is accessible via a front door of the housing; the interior container is at least partially surrounded by a thermally insulating sheath, consisting of at least four plate-shaped, heat-insulating elements, which are connected with one another in the area of their edges and surround the interior container in the form of a jacket; advantageously, the back side of the sheath is also closed with a plate-shaped, heat-insulating element in the area of the back wall of the incubator. The plate-shaped elements are made of material with a low heat conductivity and are placed at a distance to the inside of the outer housing. Thus, an interior space filled with air is formed between the interior container and the outer housing, which is subdivided by the sheath into two spaces, which are sealed off thermally with respect to one another, with their own convection.

Abstract: A climatic cabinet such as a climatic test cabinet or gassing incubator includes a housing bounding a useful space. The useful space communicates with the exterior through a front opening. The housing includes a floor having a back wall and opposing sidewalls upstanding therefrom. The floor is inclined at least at the front opening so as to slope down from the front opening towards the back wall. The floor bounds a trough configured to retain water remote from the front opening.
