It also features a large viewing window made of toughened, heat-resistant glass, allowing for visual inspection of the testing process while maintaining the chamber's environmental integrity.
• Precision Temperature and Humidity Control Systems
  • Temperature Control: Capable of maintaining a vast temperature range, from -70°C to +150°C, with an exceptional accuracy of ±0.3°C. It utilizes advanced cryogenic and heating technologies, along with a sophisticated feedback loop and multiple high-precision temperature sensors. This ensures uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber and minimal temperature gradients. The control panel allows for precise programming of temperature profiles, including rapid ramping, extended dwell times, and complex cycling sequences, mimicking the extreme thermal conditions experienced during aerospace missions, such as the frigid temperatures of space and the intense heat during re-entry.
  • Humidity Control: The humidity control system is equally precise, capable of achieving humidity levels from 0% to 100% RH (Relative Humidity), with an accuracy of ±2% RH. It employs a combination of steam humidifiers and dehumidifiers, along with a carefully designed air circulation system. The chamber is equipped with humidity sensors that continuously monitor the internal humidity, and the control system adjusts the humidification or dehumidification processes accordingly. This allows for the creation of stable and dynamic humidity environments, replicating the diverse moisture conditions that aerospace and defense electronics may face, from the arid conditions of deserts to the humid environments of tropical regions and the potential moisture exposure during spacewalks or underwater operations.

3. Specific Parameters

• Chamber Size and Capacity: Available in various sizes to accommodate different aerospace and defense electronic components and systems. The volume can range from a few cubic feet for testing small circuit boards and sensors to several hundred cubic feet for larger assemblies like satellite payloads or avionics racks. The interior dimensions are optimized for proper air circulation and uniform temperature and humidity distribution, ensuring that all parts of the sample are effectively tested.
• Temperature Cycling Rate: Can perform temperature cycles at a rate of several cycles per hour, depending on the specific requirements of the aerospace or defense application. For example, it can conduct 3 to 5 cycles per hour between -50°C and +100°C, subjecting the sample to repeated and rapid thermal stress, which is essential for evaluating the equipment's resistance to thermal fatigue and its ability to function reliably in fluctuating temperature environments.
• Humidity Cycling Rate: The humidity can be cycled at a rate that allows for the simulation of rapid changes in moisture conditions. The chamber can adjust the humidity levels within a short period, typically within 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the desired test scenario, replicating the sudden humidity shifts that may occur during aerospace operations, such as flying through different cloud layers or transitioning from a dry launch pad environment to a humid oceanic region.
• Data Acquisition Rate: The data acquisition system can sample sensor data at a rate of 500 samples per second, ensuring that even the most minute and rapid changes in temperature, humidity, pressure, or radiation during the test are accurately recorded and can be analyzed in detail. This high sampling rate provides valuable insights into the performance and potential failure modes of the aerospace and defense electronics.
• Compliance with Industry Standards: Complies with a range of aerospace and defense industry standards, including MIL-STD-810, IEC 60068 series for environmental testing, and specific requirements set by space agencies like NASA and ESA. This ensures that the testing is conducted in accordance with the established norms, facilitating market access and compliance with regulatory requirements for aerospace and defense products.

4. Product Functions
