  • The data acquisition system samples data at a frequency of up to 100 Hz, providing a detailed record of the temperature, humidity, and other environmental parameter changes. The resolution of the temperature data is 0.1°C, and the humidity data is 0.1% RH. 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 Environmental Conditions
  • The primary function of the chamber is to provide a precise and reliable simulation of temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions. By subjecting large volumes of test specimens to controlled environmental stresses, it allows manufacturers and researchers to evaluate their performance and durability. This is crucial for ensuring the quality and reliability of products, as any weaknesses or failures identified during testing can be addressed before the products reach the market.
• Product Design Optimization and Quality Control
  • Through a series of tests on different product prototypes or batches, the data obtained from the chamber can be used to optimize product designs. Engineers can analyze the behavior of various materials and components under different temperature, humidity, and other environmental stresses and make modifications to enhance the overall performance and integrity. The chamber also serves as a vital tool for quality control, ensuring that each batch of products meets the required environmental resistance standards. For example, in the automotive industry, testing large assemblies in the chamber can help identify potential issues with seals, connectors, or electronic components, leading to improvements in design and manufacturing processes.
