CCK-40/1000T-3, CLIMATE CHAMBER FOR TESTING ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 In the automotive sector, the quality and durability of interior components must be guaranteed even when the vehicle is exposed to extreme environmental conditions. Therefore, all elements located in the passenger compartment—such as trim, electronic modules, panels, plastics, or decorative elements—must undergo tests that reproduce the most severe climatic agents in order to evaluate their stability, resistance, and long-term performance. 

Among the most widely used procedures are the VW PV 1200 and VW PV 2005-A standards, which establish accelerated climate stress cycles designed to intensively simulate abrupt changes in temperature and humidity, as well as prolonged exposure to critical environments. These cycles include phases in which the water content in the air must be kept strictly limited, requiring very precise climate control to ensure the reproducibility and reliability of the test.

The DYCOMETAL CCK-40/1000T-3 is a climate testing chamber with a volume suitable for testing medium-sized parts. With a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and relative humidity control between 10% and 98%, it allows for most automotive testing. All of this is controlled via a 7” touchscreen interface and associated logging software.

LARGE VOLUME THERMAL SHOCK CHAMBER - 2500 LITRES, MODEL: CRT2H-40/2500

Thermal shock chambers are a fundamental element for the thermal fatigue testing of materials, equipment and automatisms. They are predominantly used in the following industries: aeronautics, automotive, military, electronics, telecommunications, space and, in general, in the materials research industry. The configuration of these chambers is usually vertical, but when the parts have a very large volume, it is necessary to opt for a horizontal design that allows the thermal shock to be carried out from right to left and vice versa.

The CRT2H-40/2500 thermal shock chamber was a great challenge for Dycometal, since few chambers with this volume have been manufactured, nor so demanding. The development of the chamber was carried out by our technical and design department with the customer, designing equipment in accordance with their requirements.

PRODUCT BULLETIN: CCK-45/8000, Climatic Chamber for VW Tests

Two of the most difficult tests to comply in the automotive markets are the VW PV 1200 and VW PV 2005 standards. These standards require a specific control of the humidity during the cycle.

CCK-45/8000 is a climatic chamber with big dimensions to introduce several samples at the same time. The exterior system of the car has big dimensions, so the chamber has been designed with a big width to introduce the samples easily. The removable ramp facilitates the introduction of the samples to the workspace.

PV 1200, Resistance to environmental cycle test

PV 1200 describes an environmental cycle test (elevated temperature/low temperature cycle) for testing units.

The samples will be placed in the test chamber, and will be exposed to an atmosphere of 80%RH and +80ºC (80/80). These conditions will be modified along the test to -40ºC and then will be rise to room temperature. The duration of the test will be 720 minutes.

DYCOMETAL, company with over 25 years experience in developing simulation chambers for environmental testing, offers customers Climatic Chambers to carry out such tests.

Climatic Test Chamber: PV 2005 – Variant A

PV 2005 is used in automotive parts to do quality tests in order to evaluate their behavior during an accelerated climatic stress cycle.

Variant-A will be applied over the single parts, and it will be done in a climatic chamber. The duration for one cycle will be 12 hours, with temperature range between 80ºC and -35ºC, and with humidity range between 30 and 80% RH. It will exist a limitation in the water content of the air during the heating cycle.

The number of cycle depends of the specification of the product.

Special Climatic Chamber for Test Bench

Climatic test reproduce the climatic conditions in temperature and humidity, to which the equipment or materials will be subjected during operation, transport or storage.

It’s necessary, do these tests in the validation plan of a new product or over its production, to evaluate equipment behavior, in its climatic use conditions, and prevent malfunctions in the market. Climatic chambers simulate humidity and temperature conditions that will affect to the product along its lifetime

Sometimes, it’s necessary to put the samples under a specific temperature and humidity conditions, during a test in a test bench. Introduce the test bench in a standard climatic chamber is complicated. For this reason, Dycometal manufactures an external conditioner system to obtain the necessary temperature and humidity conditions to do the test.

Combined Climatic chamber with vibration systems (AGREE chamber)

These chambers combined, also called AGREE chambers, combine the own conditions of temperature and humidity in a climate chamber, with vibration, to simulate climatic and vibrational conditions, similars to those must bear the equipment or material throughout its life useful during operation.

These chambers were demanded in the military industry, and now, their function has been extended to other markets like: automotive, aerospace, etc.

The agree chamber are manufactured with an adapted floor in order to introduce a vibrational system below the chamber. This vibrational system holds the device under test. The chambers have a high temperature change rate, subjecting the sample to a highly accelerated stress.

The chambers have a flexible design, because in the market exists a lot of models and sizes of vibrational systems.

The floor of the chamber can be changed by a rigid floor without hole, so the chamber could be used like climatic chamber independently.

Thermal Shock Chamber

Thermal shock chambers are a fundamental element to do thermal fatigue in materials, equipments and automatism. They are used in automotive, aeronautical, aerospace, electronic, telecommunication and generally in the research and develop study in materials.

The chamber has two separated compartments, with different temperature and humidity conditions. One compartment has high temperature (around 200ºC/ 392ºF) and the other one has a lower temperature (-70ºC/ -94ºF). The sample is placed in one mobile platform, and with the movement of the platform between the compartments, is submitted to sudden changes in temperature. This movement is doing in a few seconds.

Standards like: MIL-STD 810, MIL-STD 883B, MIL-STD 202E, NFC 20-605, NFC 20-705, CEI 68.2.14, etc, requiere these type of tests.
