The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system that records all relevant test data, including temperature and humidity histories, air ventilation profiles, and any changes in the physical properties of the test samples. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for further analysis and reporting.
Versatile Sample Fixturing and Placement
The interior of the chamber is designed to accommodate a wide variety of sample sizes and shapes. It can be equipped with adjustable racks, trays, and custom-made holders to ensure proper positioning and exposure of the test samples. The sample fixturing is made of materials that are compatible with the test environment and do not contaminate the samples. This flexibility allows for the testing of different products, from small electronic components to large furniture pieces or building materials. For example, furniture can be placed in the chamber with proper spacing to ensure uniform air circulation and exposure to temperature and humidity, while electronic circuit boards can be mounted on racks to mimic their actual installation conditions.
3. Specific Parameters
Maximum Temperature Swing and Accuracy
With a temperature range spanning from -40°C to +80°C, the chamber can achieve a maximum temperature swing of 120°C. The accuracy of ±0.5°C ensures that the test conditions are precisely maintained, providing reliable and repeatable results. This wide temperature spectrum is crucial for testing products that may be exposed to extreme cold, such as in outdoor electronics or building materials in cold climates, or extreme heat, like in automotive interiors or electronics near heat sources.
Humidity Range and Rate of Change Accuracy
The humidity range of 20% to 95% RH, with a rate of change accuracy of ±3% RH, allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the effect of moisture on products. The ability to precisely control the humidity level and its rate of change helps in understanding how products respond to different moisture environments, such as the drying process of building materials or the moisture absorption and desorption of furniture. This is particularly relevant for products that need to maintain their integrity and functionality in humid or dry conditions.
Air Ventilation Parameters
The air velocity can be adjusted from 0.1 m/s to 5 m/s, allowing for the simulation of gentle breezes to strong winds. The air volume flow rate can range from 10 m³/h to 1000 m³/h, depending on the chamber size and test requirements. The direction of the airflow can be set to horizontal, vertical, or a combination thereof. These customizable air ventilation parameters enable the testing of products under a wide range of airflow conditions, such as the cooling effect of air on electronics or the drying and curing processes of materials that rely on proper air circulation.
Testing Volume and Payload Capacity
The chamber offers a customizable testing volume, with options ranging from 1 m³ to 20 m³. The payload capacity can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the test samples, with a maximum capacity of up to 2000 kg. This allows for the testing of a significant number of samples or larger and heavier products. For example, in the building materials industry, multiple samples of large concrete blocks or insulation panels can be tested simultaneously, saving time and resources.
Data Sampling Frequency and Resolution
The data acquisition system samples data at a frequency of up to 50 Hz, providing a detailed record of the temperature, humidity, and air ventilation changes. The resolution of the temperature data is 0.1°C, the humidity data is 0.1% RH, and the air ventilation data has a resolution of 0.01 m/s for air velocity and 1 m³/h for air volume flow rate. This high-resolution data is invaluable for identifying subtle trends and potential failure points, allowing for a more accurate assessment of product performance.
