Dear all,
thank you all very much for being on site so quickly on Monday and helping to move the plants.
The cooling system of chamber #21 could be fixed, but we would like to keep it running for another day to check if it is stable now. And I would like to combine this with a cleaning of chamber #21 as it is already empty.
Therefore chamber #21 will be usable again this Friday, 3rd of July from 3pm onwards. You can move your plants back in on Friday afternoon or beginning of next week. You can also keep them in chamber #19 if you prefer that, then
please just adjust the booking online accordingly.
Please find attached also the recordings of chamber #21 on the day of the outage, the maximum temperature that was reached till all plants were moved out of the chamber was 23.5°C (~17:30). If you need more detailed recordings feel free to contact me!
Thank you all very much,
best
Paula

Subject: Outage chamber #21
Dear all,
unfortunately due to the heat the cooling system of chamber #21 is down and the chamber is out of order. Therefore we need to move out all plants immediately. If you have any plants in chamber #21 please come to the chamber now so we can move them to the adjacent
chambers.
The repair will happen as soon as possible but we don't know exactly how long it will take.
Thank you very much!
Paula
