1. Introduction to Temperature Humidity Chamber
Temperature and humidity chambers, also known as environmental test chambers or climate chambers, are specialized cabinets designed to simulate environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. The purpose of using these chambers is to assess the stability of various materials, components, and equipment when operating in simulated environmental conditions within the chamber. This allows designers to make adjustments for optimal performance of materials, components, and equipment in real-world scenarios.
These temperature and humidity chambers are commonly used in laboratories, testing rooms of manufacturing companies, or research facilities focused on the development of materials and machinery. Additionally, they find extensive use in factories where materials need to be stored under specific temperature conditions.
2. Structure of Temperature Humidity Chamber
The construction of temperature and humidity chambers is relatively straightforward. The components are assembled and designed to function cohesively, supporting each other to ensure optimal performance. The following are the key components of these environmental chambers:
2.1. Cooling and regulation system
In areas close to the cabinet's edges or when the cabinet is fully loaded, temperature may not be uniformly maintained. This component regulates the air to achieve temperature homogeneity.
2.2. Humidification system
Usually integrated with the capacitive humidity sensor. The equipment can quickly provide results through this connection after analyzing the received information. The temperature is restored to its initial state shortly after opening the chamber for a brief period.
2.3. Dehumidification system
Functions just as its name implies, playing a crucial and indispensable role.
2.4. Water supply system
This system is installed within the machine rather than as a separate entity. This design allows for easy movement and usage whenever needed. It is connected to the humidification system, efficiently drawing water.
2.5. Regulation system
Plays a crucial role in the relationship between users and the environmental chamber.
3. Operating principle of Temperature Humidity Chamber
A temperature and humidity testing chamber generates controlled environmental conditions. The air and water supplied to the chamber are passed through cooling and heating systems to meet specific standards before entering the testing chamber. Inside the testing chamber, environmental parameters, including air velocity, are continuously maintained and monitored. Feedback from sensors is sent to the control system to promptly issue appropriate adjustment commands.
Samples within the testing chamber interact with the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment to conduct the desired tests. The test results are collected through direct imaging, cameras, or additional sensors and measuring devices inside the testing chamber.
Conducting various tests by adjusting temperature and humidity parameters will yield the most comprehensive test results for the sample's behavior. Depending on the cooling, heating, and humidification methods, the complexity of the system and the corresponding control types vary for different environmental testing chamber models, meeting diverse testing requirements.
4. Classification of Temperature Humidity Chambers
Based on characteristics and usage purposes, environmental chambers are generally classified into two main types:
- Constant Temperature and Humidity Test Chambers:
Maintains stability in both temperature and humidity. Conditions can be sustained for an extended period.
- Variable Temperature and Humidity Test Chambers:
Allows adjustments to vary both temperature and humidity according to specific needs.
5. Applications of Temperature Humidity Chambers in various fields
- Electronics: Testing the impact of the environment on electronic circuit boards.
- Electronics-Chemical: Testing under specific temperature and humidity conditions that may affect the functionality of electronic-chemical components.
- Pharmaceuticals: Checking medications under high humidity conditions to determine if there is any alteration in their pharmaceutical properties.
- Food: Examining food items to check for contamination or assessing their resistance to environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
- LED Lights: Conducting tests to evaluate the ability of LED lights to withstand environmental conditions.
- Materials: Testing the aging of materials during usage.
- Research:
- Conducting individual tests to assess the environmental effects on test samples.
- Preparing test samples to examine their chemical and physical properties.
- Creating environmental conditions for cultivating germinating seeds and cell cultures.
- Contributing to establishing a suitable controlled environmental condition, including temperature and humidity, within the chamber for a specified duration. The cyclic establishment of a natural environment allows testing the sample's endurance limits before exposure to real-world weather conditions.
- Testing to determine the aging, stability, or accelerated aging of samples on the shelves.
- Creating a stable environment for the storage and preservation of samples.
- Checking the durability and resistance capabilities of samples against natural weather conditions.
