Which climatic chamber is best for my product?

We need to carry out climatic tests on our developed or developing product, but which is the best climatic chamber for us? The answer lies in the product(s) you want to test, as the climatic chamber should be adapted to your needs and not the product to the climatic chamber. Not all standard chambers will be suitable for testing your product. For example, if I am a manufacturer of a pharmaceutical product and I want to perform stability tests, I will not need a climatic chamber with a temperature range from -70ºC to +180ºC, a chamber from +10ºC to +50ºC will be enough. Each market has its own environmental tests.
In order to configure the ideal equipment, the manufacturer of the chamber must have all the information about the product to be tested, to be able to advise you and offer you the climatic chamber that best suits your needs, as well as to be able to advise you about the construction details of the equipment.

Important points to bear in mind:
– Test standards to be used.
The standards establish the environmental criteria to which the parts will be subjected. These standards establish temperature ranges, gradients and times.
– Type of sample to be tested.
The thermal behaviour of each material is different and may affect the performance of the equipment. For example, conditioning 23 kg of aluminium at negative temperatures costs more than conditioning 23 kg of cardboard, their specific heat is different and the heat release during the cycles will be different as well.
– Additional safeguards.
Also the type of specimen to be tested will define whether additional safety features are necessary in case the specimen may release volatile substances during the test or have elements that may explode. If the sample to be tested is very expensive, you will certainly want to protect it.
– Dimensions and number of samples to be tested.
To calculate the optimum chamber volume for your product by optimising the airflow.
– Sample weight.
Important in order to know the total thermal inertia. It is not the same to test 1 kilogram of cardboard than 1 ton of car, the climatic chamber must take into account this point to be reinforced or not.
– Dissipation capacity.
If the sample generates its own heat, the climatic chamber must compensate the energy generated, the mass and therefore must have more cooling capacity to be able to reach the test temperature points established in the standard.

With all these data, DYCOMETAL will be able to define the equipment that best suits your needs and offer you the most suitable climatic chamber for your product.

What would be the ideal volume (size) for your climate chamber?

When we are going to buy a chamber, the first point we usually take into account is the interior volume of the chamber that we are going to need to carry out the test. Each chamber usually has different dimensions in height, width or depth, but which chamber volume is optimal?

The volume of the chamber to be selected will depend on the size of the sample to be introduced and the number of samples to be tested in parallel. Testing one box is not the same as testing several boxes in parallel, which will take up much more space.

First of all, it is important to bear in mind that in order to condition the samples correctly, it is necessary for the air to move around them. Do not block the airflow of the fans at the back of the chamber. Sufficient free space should be left to allow fluid air movement. The standards set a minimum distance between sample and sample, and sample and chamber walls of 50 mm, but if more space is left, the samples will homogenise more quickly.

Also, do not select a chamber that has too much space around a sample, as the energy consumption of the chamber will be higher than what is really necessary. There is virtue in balance.

Therefore, when purchasing a climatic chamber, consider the amount of space you will really need, taking into account the sample(s) you will be testing.

HOW TO SELECT THE IDEAL CHAMBER TO YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL TESTS?

 When a company develops a new product and wants to test it to ensure quality and reliability, under the climatic conditions that it will withstand during its life use, transport or storage, it is time to select a climatic chamber to perform the test. What will be the criteria for choosing the chamber? Price, quality, options,…

Many people are tempted to buy equipment based solely on the cheapest price, but there are several points to take into consideration before making the final decision.

Quality, reliability and after-sales service will add value to your purchase. This will ensure a long lifetime of the climatic chamber, which will result in a lower cost of the equipment in the long run.

Nowadays there is a great variety of climatic chambers, so the application for which it is going to be used will determine the type of chamber you need to carry out the most appropriate tests. If you provide as much information as possible to our sales representatives, DYCOMETAL will select the best chamber for your application.

Before purchasing the chamber there are many questions to ask such as:
– Chamber volume
– Temperature ranges
– Humidity ranges
– Temperature gradients
– Standard to be applied
– Water-cooled or air-cooled
– etc…

All these questions will lead you to the chamber that best suits your testing needs.

ISO 6270-2, DETERMINATION OF RESISTANCE TO CONDENSATION IN PAINTS AND VARNISHES

ISO 6270-2 (Determination of resistance to humidity. Part 2: Procedure for exposing test specimens in condensation-water atmospheres) establishes conditions and procedures for the conditioning of samples in order to evaluate the behaviour and defects that can develop when samples are subjected to high humidity environments. This test establishes 3 different types of atmospheres: CH – Condensing atmosphere with constant humidity; AHT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating humidity and air temperature; AT – Condensing atmosphere with alternating air temperature.

Normally, condensing chambers are presented in a vertical format with a capacity of approximately 300 litres, but… What happens when we want to test large parts? In this case, Dycometal’s solution is the condensing chamber in horizontal format with a large width dimension in order to be able to introduce the largest samples. This horizontal design allows several samples to be positioned in parallel for testing. Volumes of 1000 or 2000 litres provide more than enough capacity to accommodate large specimen lengths.

CYCLIC CORROSION CHAMBER FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ISO 11997-1 – PAINTS AND VARNISHES, SSCK

ISO 11997-1 (Determination of resistance to cyclic corrosion conditions) describes the method for the determination of the resistance of coatings to one of the 4 defined cycles under humidity (salt spray)/dryness/humidity conditions using specific solutions. This method is used to compare the resistance of different coatings to cyclic salt spray exposure. It is most commonly used to provide a rating scale for a series of painted specimens that show significant differences in resistance to cyclic salt spray exposure. This standard has different types of cycles: A: based on Japanese standards, B: based on VDA 621-415 used in Europe, C: developed in the UK for water soluble paints or latex paint, D: based on Japanese standards.

Our SSCK cyclic corrosion models have been developed for compliance with this standard in any of its cycles. With 5 different volumes, they can be adapted to the space requirements of customers and their programmer with associated software will allow the test to be recorded and a full report to be produced.

CLIMATIC CHAMBER FOR CONSTRUCTION TESTS WITH GWP LESS THAN 150 ACCORDING TO F-GAS, CCK-30/3000T

 Building materials are diverse and made of different materials, each with a different resistance to weathering or indoor conditions, which means that tests on materials are diverse and under different environmental conditions. The technological centres of accreditation in construction materials need chambers with a wide range of tests in order to be able to cover a large number of tests and to be able to make the investment profitable.

The climatic chamber model CCK-30/3000T has been built to be able to fulfil a large number of tests for different materials and under different climatic conditions, from freezing tests to high temperature and high humidity tests. The equipment has been internally reinforced to withstand heavy weights and made of high quality stainless steel on the inside. In addition, the chamber has been manufactured with a refrigeration system with a GWP of less than 150 in accordance with the new European refrigerant gas standard, F-gas.
