What Is a Temperature/Humidity Chamber?

Temperature/humidity chambers (Thermo-hygrostat) are devices that creates an environment of constant temperature and humidity, and is necessary for durability and reliability testing of manufactured products in various fields of modern industry, especially in product testing laboratories.

It is mainly used to predict the durability of a product under normal conditions by testing it for a certain period of time in an environment that is more extreme than the required conditions.

There are a variety of temperature control ranges from -20°C to +180°C, humidity control ranges from 5 to 98% rh, and chamber capacities from 120 to 1000 liters, so you can choose according to the temperature range, humidity range, and chamber capacity.

Uses of Temperature/Humidity Chambers

Temperature/humidity chambers are used in testing and inspection rooms, production sites, factories, universities, and research institutes of all industries that require temperature and humidity control.

They are mainly used in the fields of electronics, precision machinery, textiles, food, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering, optical material components, quality assurance, transportation, etc.

Specifically, it is used for the following applications:

• Long-term storage tests
• Accelerated testing (ICH guidelines)
• Temperature and humidity testing
• Quality degradation testing of raw materials
• Food quality testing
• Temperature evaluation testing
• Environmental testing of resins, materials, chemical products, automotive parts, electrical and electronic parts, equipment, etc.
• Plant and microorganism cultivation
• Degradation testing of automotive parts

Principle of Temperature/Humidity Chambers

Temperature/humidity chambers consist of a part that heats, cools, dehumidifies, and humidifies the inside of the device, a part that maintains a constant temperature and humidity distribution, and a part that has a control function.

When the necessary settings are entered in the controller with control function, the installed temperature/humidity equipment detects changes in temperature and humidity, and the temperature and humidity are adjusted using a sirocco fan or other device that forcibly replaces the air inside the equipment.

The temperature and humidity are then precisely and finely controlled by refrigerators and heaters that humidify and dehumidify as necessary.

If the temperature and humidity distribution inside the chamber cannot be maintained uniformly, accurate results cannot be obtained depending on the amount and location of the sample.

The system is also equipped with a multilingual display for global support, and by connecting to a LAN port, it is possible to send alarms via Email in case of abnormalities, such as internal conditions, completion of tests, and maintenance time, etc. allowing for remote monitoring and operation from a remote location away from the Temperature/humidity chamber. The system is also equipped with a function that allows remote monitoring and operation from a remote location.
