3. Specific Parameters

• Maximum Temperature Swing
  • With a temperature range spanning from -70°C to +180°C, the chamber can achieve a maximum temperature swing of 250°C. This wide temperature spectrum allows for the simulation of the most extreme environmental conditions, from the frigid cold of arctic regions or cryogenic storage to the searing heat of industrial ovens or desert environments. For example, in the electronics industry, components may need to withstand significant temperature differentials during operation or storage, and this chamber can accurately replicate such conditions to assess their durability and performance.
• Temperature Change Rate
  • The chamber can achieve a temperature change rate of up to 15°C per minute. This rapid rate of change is crucial for simulating real-world temperature fluctuations, such as those experienced during rapid thermal cycling in manufacturing processes or during the startup and shutdown of equipment. In the automotive industry, for instance, engine components and electronic control units may be subjected to sudden temperature changes, and this chamber enables manufacturers to evaluate their ability to withstand such stress without failure.
• Humidity Cycling Range and Rate
  • The humidity cycling range of 10% to 98% relative humidity, with a rate of change of up to 10% RH per minute, provides a comprehensive assessment of a product's performance under different moisture levels. High humidity can lead to corrosion, electrical short circuits, and degradation of materials, while low humidity can cause drying and cracking. The chamber's precise humidity control allows for the simulation of a wide variety of environmental conditions, from humid tropical rainforests to arid deserts, ensuring that products are tested to withstand the full spectrum of moisture-related challenges.
• Altitude Simulation Range and Pressure Accuracy
  • The altitude simulation range extends from sea level (101.3 kPa) to an altitude equivalent of 50,000 feet (approximately 7.5 kPa). The pressure control accuracy is within ±0.1 kPa. This precise altitude and pressure control is essential for testing the performance of products in different atmospheric conditions. For example, in the aerospace industry, aircraft components and systems need to function properly at various altitudes, and this chamber can accurately replicate those conditions to evaluate their performance and reliability.
• 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 500 kg. This flexibility makes it suitable for testing a vast range of products, from small batches of electronic components to larger industrial equipment or prototypes. For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used to test the stability of drug formulations or the performance of packaging materials under different temperature, humidity, and altitude conditions.
