The insulated walls are made of high-quality materials, carefully selected to minimize heat transfer and maintain stable internal conditions. The door is equipped with a reliable sealing mechanism and a large viewing window, allowing operators to closely monitor the test process without disrupting the internal environment. The overall design is optimized to withstand the rigors of continuous operation and rapid temperature cycling.
• High-Speed Temperature Control System
  • At the core of the chamber lies a sophisticated temperature control system. It can achieve a wide temperature range, typically from -60°C to +180°C, with an accuracy of ±0.3°C. What sets this chamber apart is its ability to change temperature at an extremely rapid rate. It can ramp up or down the temperature at a rate of up to 10°C per minute, depending on the specific requirements. This is made possible by a combination of high-power refrigeration units, advanced heating elements, and a precise control algorithm. The system also incorporates multiple temperature sensors strategically placed throughout the chamber to ensure uniform temperature distribution and accurate feedback for control adjustments.
• 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 temperature setpoints, change rate, test duration, and other parameters using a user-friendly interface. The control panel also provides real-time displays of the current temperature, the rate of change, and any alarms or warnings. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system. It records all relevant test data, such as temperature histories, rate of change profiles, and any observable changes in 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 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 resistant to the wide temperature range and do not contaminate the test environment. This flexibility allows for the testing of different products, from small electronic components and automotive parts to larger aerospace assemblies and materials specimens.
• Safety Features and Alarms
  • To ensure the safety of operators and the integrity of the testing process, the chamber is equipped with a range of safety features. These include over-temperature and over-current protection, emergency stop buttons, and alarms for abnormal temperature fluctuations or equipment malfunctions. The safety features are designed to prevent damage to the chamber, the test samples, and the surrounding environment, providing peace of mind during the testing operation.

3. Specific Parameters

• Temperature Range and Accuracy
  • With a temperature range of -60°C to +180°C and an accuracy of ±0.3°C, the chamber can subject products to a wide spectrum of temperatures. This is essential for testing products that may be exposed to extreme cold, such as in cryogenic applications, or high heat, like in industrial ovens. The accurate temperature control ensures that the test conditions are precisely maintained, providing reliable and repeatable results.
• Rapid Temperature Change Rate
  • The chamber can achieve a rapid temperature change rate of up to 10°C per minute. This allows for the simulation of real-world scenarios where products may experience sudden temperature shifts, such as in automotive engines during startup or in electronics during thermal shock testing. The ability to quickly change the temperature helps in identifying potential weaknesses in products that may not be apparent under static temperature conditions.
• Testing Volume and Payload Capacity
  • The 456L volume provides ample space for testing a significant number of samples or larger individual items. The payload capacity can typically handle up to 300 kg of test samples, depending on the density and size of the objects. This allows for efficient testing of a batch of products or a single, relatively large item.
• Data Sampling Frequency and Resolution
  • The data acquisition system samples data at a frequency of up to 200 Hz, providing a highly detailed record of the temperature changes. The resolution of the temperature data is 0.05°C. This high-resolution data is invaluable for identifying even the slightest trends and potential failure points, allowing for a more accurate assessment of product performance.

4. Product Functions

• Accurate Simulation of Dynamic Temperature Conditions
  • The primary function of the chamber is to provide a precise and reliable simulation of rapid temperature change conditions. By subjecting products to controlled and rapid temperature shifts, it allows manufacturers and researchers to evaluate their performance and durability. This is crucial for ensuring the quality and reliability of products such as electronics, which may malfunction during thermal shock, or automotive components, which need to withstand temperature fluctuations during operation.
• Product Design Optimization and Quality Control
  • Through a series of tests on different product 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 rapid temperature stress and make modifications to enhance the overall performance and safety. The chamber also serves as a vital tool for quality control, ensuring that each batch of products meets the required temperature resistance standards. For example, in the manufacturing of aerospace components, testing in the chamber can help detect any weaknesses in the materials or joints under rapid temperature changes, leading to improvements in product quality.
