Hot & Cold Chambers

Some Essential Features of Hot & Cold Chambers

These chambers are designed for reliability, accuracy, and long-term durability, with several key features:

• Wide Temperature Range

  • Typical range: -70°C to +180°C (custom ranges possible).
  • Fast ramp rates (e.g., 3–10°C/min or higher).

• Precise Temperature Control

  • High accuracy and uniformity with tight tolerances (±0.5°C or better).
  • PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers for stability.

• Thermal Cycling Capability

  • Repeated rapid transitions between hot and cold extremes.
  • Used for reliability, fatigue, and stress testing.

• Programmable Controller

  • Touchscreen interface.
  • Preloaded or user-defined test profiles.
  • Data logging, alarms, and remote monitoring capabilities.

• Humidity

  • Some chambers also integrate humidity control (20–98% RH).
  • Enables combined temperature-humidity testing.

• Construction & Insulation

  • Stainless steel interior and robust outer casing.
  • Stainless steel interior and robust outer casing.

• Safety Features

  • Over-temperature protection.
  • Door interlocks.
  • Emergency shutoff systems.
  • Alarms for temperature or humidity deviations.

• Observation & Access

  • Viewing windows with heaters to prevent fogging.
  • Internal lighting.
  • Access ports for wiring or sensors.

• Compliance & Standards

  • Meets international testing standards (e.g., IEC, ASTM, MIL-STD).
  • Often used in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and defense industries.

• Portability & Size Options

  • Available in benchtop, floor-standing, or walk-in configurations.
  • Custom sizes for larger or specialized applications or our fix model as per below table.
