mechanism to prevent unauthorized access and maintain the stability
of the internal environment. Additionally, it has proper
ventilation and exhaust systems to handle any potentially harmful
gases or vapors that may be generated during testing, such as those
from cosmetic ingredients or electronic component degradation.
- Temperature and Thermal Shock Parameters
- The chamber is engineered to provide excellent temperature
uniformity throughout the testing volume. The temperature variation
within the chamber is typically within ±1°C, ensuring that all
samples are exposed to consistent thermal conditions. The number of
thermal shock cycles can be adjusted according to the specific
needs of the product, ranging from a few dozen to several thousand.
The dwell time in each temperature zone can also be customized,
from minutes to hours, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of
product performance under different thermal stress durations.
- Testing Volume and Payload Capacity
- The chamber offers a flexible testing volume, usually ranging from
0.5 m³ to 10 m³, to accommodate a significant number of consumer
products and cosmetic samples. The payload capacity is designed to
handle a variety of weights and sizes. It can support small,
lightweight items like cosmetic compacts and bottles as well well
as larger, heavier consumer electronics and appliances, with a
maximum payload capacity of up to several hundred kilograms.
- Data Sampling and Resolution
- The data acquisition system samples temperature data at a high
frequency, typically up to 300 Hz. The temperature data has a
resolution of 0.2°C, providing a detailed record of the temperature
changes during testing. This high-resolution and frequent sampling
enable the detection of even the slightest temperature fluctuations
and trends, allowing for a more accurate analysis of product
behavior under thermal shock.
