1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Weather-Resistant Chamber Construction
  • The test chamber is constructed with a heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant steel frame and walls. The materials are chosen to withstand not only the continuous high-pressure water spray but also the potential effects of UV radiation and other environmental factors. The chamber is sealed with high-quality, durable gaskets and advanced sealing mechanisms to prevent any water leakage. The door is equipped with a reliable locking system and a pressure-resistant viewing window, allowing operators to monitor the test process without compromising the chamber's integrity.
• Powerful and Adjustable High Pressure Spray System
  • The heart of the chamber is its high-pressure spray system. It can generate water pressure ranging from 3 bars to 180 bars, with an accuracy of ±0.8 bar. The system features a variety of adjustable spray nozzles that can produce different spray patterns. These include a fine mist for simulating light rain or fog, a concentrated jet for replicating heavy downpours or high-pressure water sources like waterfalls, and a wide-angle spray to cover a large surface area. The nozzles are strategically placed within the chamber to ensure uniform water distribution and comprehensive coverage of the test samples. The water pump is highly efficient and can maintain a consistent water flow rate even at maximum pressure.
• Accurate Temperature and Humidity Control
  • In addition to water pressure, the chamber offers precise control over temperature and humidity. The temperature can be adjusted within a range of -5°C to 55°C, with an accuracy of ±0.4°C. The humidity control range extends from 15% to 90% relative humidity, with an accuracy of ±2.5% RH. Temperature and humidity can have a significant impact on the performance and durability of outdoor equipment, especially in relation to waterproofing. The control system ensures that these environmental factors are maintained at the desired levels, providing a more accurate simulation of real-world outdoor conditions.
• Intuitive Control Panel and Data Acquisition Interface
  • The equipment is equipped with an intuitive control panel that simplifies the operation and parameter setting. Operators can easily adjust the water pressure, spray pattern, temperature, humidity, and test duration using the user-friendly interface. The control panel also provides real-time displays of the current test conditions, as well as any alarms or warnings. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system. It records all relevant test data, such as water pressure profiles, temperature and humidity histories, and any changes in the physical or functional properties of the test samples. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for further analysis. The system can also generate detailed test reports in various formats, facilitating easy documentation and sharing of results.
• Versatile Sample Fixturing and Placement
  • The interior of the chamber is designed to accommodate a wide variety of outdoor equipment 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 resistant to water and do not contaminate the test environment. This flexibility allows for the testing of different products, from small camping lanterns and handheld tools to large tents and backpacks. For example, a tent can be set up inside the chamber to test its overall waterproofing and seam integrity, while a power tool can be mounted on a holder to evaluate the water resistance of its electrical components and housing.

3. Specific Parameters

• Maximum Water Pressure and Accuracy
  • With a maximum water pressure of 180 bars and an accuracy of ±0.8 bar, the chamber can subject outdoor equipment to extremely high water forces. This is essential for testing the durability of products like waterproof backpacks that might be exposed to heavy rainstorms or even submersion in water bodies. The accurate control of water pressure ensures that the test results are reliable and reproducible, enabling manufacturers to make informed decisions about product design and waterproofing enhancements.
• Temperature and Humidity Range and Accuracy
  • The temperature range of -5°C to 55°C, with an accuracy of ±0.4°C, and the humidity range of 15% to 90% RH, with an accuracy of ±2.5% RH, provide a comprehensive assessment of the effect of environmental conditions on outdoor equipment waterproofing. For instance, a camping stove might need to function properly in cold and humid conditions, and this chamber can accurately replicate such scenarios to evaluate its performance.
• Spray Pattern Options and Coverage
  • The spray nozzle offers multiple spray pattern options. The fine mist has a droplet size ranging from 25 microns to 120 microns, the focused jet has a diameter of 0.8 mm to 6 mm, and the wide-angle spray covers an area of up to 300 degrees. The coverage of the spray is carefully engineered to ensure that all parts of the test sample receive an equal amount of water exposure. This flexibility in spray patterns allows for the testing of products under different types of water ingress scenarios, such as a gentle drizzle or a powerful jet of water.
• Testing Volume and Payload Capacity
  • The chamber offers a customizable testing volume, with options ranging from 0.8 m³ to 8 m³. The payload capacity can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the test samples, with a maximum capacity of up to 1500 kg. This allows for the testing of a significant number of samples or larger and heavier outdoor equipment, such as large generators or industrial-grade camping trailers.
• Data Sampling Frequency and Resolution
  • The data acquisition system samples data at a frequency of up to 120 Hz, providing a detailed record of the water pressure, temperature, humidity, and spray pattern changes. The resolution of the water pressure data is 0.08 bar, the temperature data is 0.1°C, the humidity data is 0.1% RH, and the spray pattern data includes precise measurements of droplet size and spray angle. This high-resolution data is invaluable for identifying even the slightest trends and potential failure points, allowing for a more accurate assessment of product waterproofing performance.

4. Product Functions

• Accurate Simulation of High Pressure Water Exposure for Outdoor Equipment
  • The primary function of the chamber is to provide a precise and reliable simulation of high pressure water spray conditions that outdoor equipment may face. By subjecting products to controlled water pressure, temperature, humidity, and spray patterns, it allows manufacturers and researchers to evaluate their waterproof performance. This is crucial for ensuring the reliability and durability of items like tents, sleeping bags, and outdoor electronics, as it helps identify potential failure modes and allows for design improvements. For example, testing a waterproof tent's seams and fabric under high pressure and varying temperature conditions can help determine if it can withstand the stress of heavy rain and wind-driven moisture.
• Product Design Optimization and Quality Control
  • Through a series of tests on different outdoor equipment prototypes, the data obtained from the chamber can be used to optimize product designs. Engineers can analyze the behavior of various materials and components under high pressure water exposure and make modifications to enhance the overall waterproofing. The chamber also serves as a vital tool for quality control, ensuring that each batch of products meets the required waterproof standards. For instance, in the manufacturing of outdoor power tools, testing in the high pressure spray chamber can help detect any weaknesses in the tool's casing or electrical insulation, leading to improvements in product quality and preventing water damage to the internal components.
