  • The two-zone chamber is built with a heavy-duty steel frame that provides exceptional rigidity and stability. The frame is coated with a corrosion-resistant finish, ensuring a long service life even in the most challenging testing conditions. The chamber walls are made of high-quality insulation materials, which minimize heat transfer between the zones and maintain precise temperature levels. The insulation is carefully engineered to withstand rapid temperature cycling and prevent any external factors from interfering with the internal test environment. The chamber is equipped with hermetic door seals for each zone, guaranteeing a leak-free enclosure and consistent test conditions.
• Precision Temperature Control System for Two Zones
  • The integrated control system is a marvel of technological sophistication. It can maintain a wide temperature range in each zone, from -70°C to +180°C, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The system utilizes advanced refrigeration units, electric heaters, and PID controllers. Temperature sensors are strategically placed within each zone to provide real-time feedback, enabling the control system to make instantaneous and highly accurate adjustments. This allows for the creation of independent temperature profiles in each zone, simulating a variety of real-world scenarios such as the temperature differential between the interior and exterior of an electronic device or the hot and cold zones in an industrial process.
• Intuitive Control and Data Acquisition Interface
  • The equipment is equipped with an intuitive control panel and a comprehensive data acquisition system. The control panel allows operators to easily set and adjust the temperature parameters, test durations, and cycle repetitions for each zone. It provides real-time display of the current temperature in each zone, as well as any alarms or warnings. The data acquisition system records all relevant test data, including temperature histories, any changes in the physical properties of the test samples, and system performance metrics. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for further analysis. The system also has the ability to generate detailed test reports in various formats, such as PDF or Excel, facilitating easy documentation and sharing of test results.
• Versatile Sample Fixturing and Placement
  • The chamber is designed with a flexible interior layout to accommodate different sizes and shapes of test samples in each zone. It can be equipped with adjustable shelves, racks, and mounting fixtures, allowing for optimal sample positioning and organization. The interior surfaces are made of non-corrosive and non-reactive materials to prevent any contamination or interaction with the test samples. Additionally, the chamber can be fitted with cable ports, access doors, and viewing windows to facilitate testing, monitoring, and connection of external equipment or sensors.
• Enhanced Safety and Protection Mechanisms
  • Safety is a top priority in the design of this chamber. It is equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including emergency stop buttons strategically located for immediate shutdown in case of any anomalies. The chamber is safeguarded against over-temperature, over-current, and over-pressure conditions, with built-in safety circuits that automatically cut off power when necessary. Additionally, it features advanced refrigerant leak detection and a highly efficient ventilation system to ensure the removal of any potentially harmful gases. The door interlock system for each zone prevents accidental opening during testing, further enhancing operator safety and test integrity.

3. Specific Parameters

• Maximum Temperature Swing in Each Zone
  • With a temperature range spanning from -70°C to +180°C in each zone, 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 cryogenic storage to the searing heat of industrial ovens. 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 in Each Zone
  • The chamber can achieve a temperature change rate of up to 15°C per minute in each zone. 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.
• Testing Volume and Payload Capacity per Zone
  • The chamber offers a customizable testing volume per zone, with options ranging from 0.3 m³ to 3 m³. The payload capacity can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the test samples, with a maximum capacity of up to 300 kg per zone. This flexibility allows for the testing of a wide range of products, from small 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 conditions.
• Temperature Uniformity within Zones
  • The chamber ensures excellent temperature uniformity within each zone. The temperature variation within a zone is typically within ±1°C. This level of uniformity is essential for obtaining accurate and reliable test results, as it guarantees that all parts of the test sample are exposed to the same temperature conditions. In applications where precise temperature control is critical, such as in the testing of sensitive electronic components or high-precision optical devices, this feature is of utmost importance.
• Dwell Time Accuracy in Temperature Cycles
  • The chamber can maintain the specified dwell times at different temperature levels with an accuracy of ±1 minute. Dwell time is an important parameter in temperature cycling tests, as it determines the length of time the product is exposed to a particular temperature. Accurate control of dwell time ensures that the test is conducted in accordance with the defined test plan and provides consistent results. For example, in testing the reliability of a new material, the dwell time at extreme temperatures can help to assess its long-term stability and resistance to thermal degradation.
