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.
