The DKL-601C is the 150-liter, 115V top-of-range oven in Yamato's economical DKL forced-convection family, the largest chamber of the basic, non-programmable DKL line, for high-throughput drying, curing, and general heating. A 10W Sirocco forced-air fan sustains ±2.5°C temperature-distribution accuracy at 260°C even across the 150L volume, the uniformity margin that makes forced convection the right choice over natural/gravity convection when a full chamber of samples must all see the same heat. This is the 115V half of the 150L 601C/611C pair.

Application Profile
The DKL-601C fits high-throughput and larger-labware drying and heating (bulk glassware/labware drying, moisture removal, curing, sterilization prep, and elevated-temperature holds to 260°C) where volume or tall items exceed the 90L chamber. With 12 shelf steps, it supports many racks or tall vessels in a single run. Forced convection remains essential for even, repeatable heat in a fully loaded large chamber, which a natural-convection oven cannot deliver.
Design Architecture
A 10W Sirocco fan circulates air through a stainless-steel (SUS430) chamber inside glass-wool insulation and a powder-coated SPCC steel exterior. A 1.5 kW SUS304 pipe heater under SSR control is governed by PID control from a microprocessor reading a K-thermocouple. Digital setpoints (menu + ▲/▼ keys); operation modes Fixed temperature, Quick Auto-Stop, Auto-Stop, Auto-Start plus calibration offset. No programmable ramp/soak on the DKL class, step up to DKV for profiles. Standard: one 30 mm I.D. cable port (right) and two 30 mm I.D. exhaust ports (top).
Safety: self-diagnostic functions (sensor error, memory error, automatic overheat prevention, measured-temperature error), an MCB with over-current protector, and an independent hydraulic standalone overheat-prevention device. Never use in flammable/explosive atmospheres or with flammable materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the chamber capacity of the DKL-601C? 150 L, with internal dimensions of 610 × 500 × 500 mm and 12 shelf steps at 35 mm pitch; it ships with 2 shelf plates rated 15 kg each, the largest chamber in the DKL line.
What temperature range and uniformity does it deliver? Room temperature +10°C to 260°C, with ±1°C control accuracy and ±2.5°C temperature-distribution accuracy at 260°C, even across the 150 L volume.
Is it forced or natural convection? Forced air, via a 10W Sirocco fan, essential for even, repeatable heat in a fully loaded large chamber, which a natural-convection oven cannot deliver.
Is the DKL-601C programmable? No. It is a non-programmable oven with Fixed-temperature, Quick Auto-Stop, Auto-Stop, and Auto-Start modes. For programmable ramp/soak profiles, step up to the DKV series.
What voltage does it require? AC115V, 13.5A, 50/60Hz, supplied with a plug. The 220V sister model is the DKL-611C.
Ordering & Configuration
Ships with the chassis, 2 stainless-steel shelf plates and 4 brackets, and standard ports. The 150L supports the ON61C stand (Q020101002), the OD60C stacking kit (Q010101002), extra shelf sets (Q110101003), alternate cable ports (Ø25/Ø50 mm), and a seismic mat (296902).
Confirm at quote: this is the 115V, with-plug unit (choose DKL-611C for 220V); note the 13.5A draw for circuit planning; confirm capacity fit (150L vs 90L/401C vs 27L/301C), stand vs stacking-kit configuration, cable-port diameter, and lead time. Warranty per Yamato standard capital-equipment terms.
