Control Panel Thermal Shock Test Chambers Meets EN 60204-1:2006/AC: 2010 Standards

In the electrical equipment manufacturing industry, compliance with international standards is non-negotiable. The Custom Thermal Shock Chambers, designed to meet the EN 60204-1:2006/AC: 2010 test standards, emerge as a cornerstone in ensuring the safety and durability of electrical equipment.

This bespoke thermal shock chamber is dedicated to subjecting electrical equipment and its components to the comprehensive testing regimen stipulated by the EN 60204-1:2006/AC: 2010 standard. It serves electrical equipment manufacturers, testing laboratories, and research institutions.

The primary objective is to evaluate the ability of equipment such as control panels, motors, transformers, and circuit breakers to withstand rapid and extreme temperature changes. By simulating the thermal shock conditions that these components may encounter during their operational lifespan, manufacturers can identify potential weaknesses, optimize design and manufacturing processes, and enhance the overall quality and reliability of their electrical products.

• Robust and Thermally Efficient Chamber Design
  • The chamber is constructed with heavy-duty materials that can endure the rigors of thermal shock testing.
  • The walls are made of high-strength steel with advanced thermal insulation to minimize heat transfer between the different temperature zones.
  • The door is equipped with a precision sealing mechanism and a viewing window, allowing operators to closely monitor the testing process without interfering with the internal environment.
  • The interior is engineered with a unique layout to create distinct hot and cold regions, ensuring rapid and uniform temperature transitions.
• Precision Temperature Control System
  • Temperature Range and Cycling: Capable of achieving a wide temperature range, typically from -50°C to +150°C.
  • The system can execute rapid temperature cycling between the hot and cold zones, with a transition time as short as a few minutes.
  • This is crucial for replicating the sudden temperature changes that electrical equipment may experience, such as when power is suddenly applied or removed, or when exposed to external heat sources.
  • The temperature control is accurate to within ±0.3°C, providing reliable and repeatable test results.
• Intuitive Control Panel and Data Acquisition Interface
  • The control panel is designed for user-friendliness, enabling operators to effortlessly set and adjust test parameters.
  • They can define temperature levels, dwell times in each zone, and the number of thermal shock cycles.
  • The panel also displays real-time information about the current temperature in both zones, the testing status, and any alarms or warnings.
  • The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system that records all relevant test data.
• Safety Features and Alarms
  • To ensure the safety of operators and the protection of the test samples and the chamber itself, a suite of safety features is incorporated.
  • These include over-temperature and over-current protection, emergency stop buttons, and alarms for abnormal temperature fluctuations, equipment malfunctions, or any other safety-related issues.
  • The chamber is also equipped with proper ventilation and exhaust systems to handle any potentially harmful gases or vapors that may be generated during the testing process.
