High and low temperature test chamber may encounter a variety of problems in the process of use, the following is a summary of potential faults and their causes from different perspectives:
1. Core system failure
Temperature out of control
Reason: PID control parameters are out of balance, ambient temperature exceeds the design range of the equipment, multi-zone temperature interference.
Case: In a special environment workshop, the external high temperature causes the refrigeration system to overload, resulting in temperature drift.
Humidity is abnormal
Reason: poor water quality of humidification leads to scaling and nozzle blockage, failure of ultrasonic humidifier piezoelectric sheet, and incomplete regeneration of dehumidification desiccant.
Special phenomenon: reverse condensation occurs during high humidity test, resulting in the actual humidity in the box being lower than the set value.
2. Mechanical and structural problems
Air flow is disorganized
Performance: There is a temperature gradient of more than 3℃ in the sample area.
Root cause: the customized sample rack changed the original design air duct and the accumulation of dirt on the centrifugal fan blade led to the destruction of dynamic balance.
sealing failure
New failure: the magnetic force of electromagnetic sealing door decreases at low temperature, and the silicone sealing strip becomes brittle and cracks after-70℃.
3. Electrical and control system
Intelligent control failure
Software level: After firmware upgrade, the temperature dead zone setting error occurs and the historical data overflow causes the program to crash.
Hardware level: SSR solid state relay breakdown causes continuous heating and bus communication is subjected to inverter electromagnetic interference.
Security protection vulnerabilities
Hidden dangers: the synchronous failure of the triple temperature protection relay and the false alarm caused by the expiration of the refrigerant detector calibration.
4. Challenges of special working conditions
Specific temperature shock
Problem: -40℃ to +150℃ rapid conversion of the evaporator weld stress cracking, thermal expansion coefficient difference resulting in the failure of the observation window seal.
Long-term operation attenuation
Performance degradation: after 2000 hours of continuous operation, the compressor valve plate wear leads to a decrease of 15% in refrigeration capacity and drift of ceramic heating tube resistance value.
5. Environmental and maintenance impact
Infrastructure adaptation
Case: The power oscillation of PTC heater caused by the fluctuation of power supply voltage and the water hammer effect of cooling water system damaged the plate heat exchanger.
Preventive maintenance blind spots
Lesson: Ignoring the positive pressure of the box leads to water entering the bearing chamber and biofilm growth and blockage in the condensate discharge pipe.
6. Pain points of emerging technologies
New refrigerant application
Challenges: system oil compatibility problems after R448A replaces R404A, and high pressure sealing problems of subcritical CO₂ refrigeration systems.
IoT integration risks

The Guangdong Hongzhan Dust Test Chamber is primarily used to simulate natural sand and dust environments, testing the dust resistance of various products. In industries such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace, products may face challenges from sand and dust. If a product's dust resistance is inadequate, sand and dust particles can penetrate the equipment, leading to malfunctions, performance degradation, or even damage. Therefore, accurately assessing a product's dust resistance is crucial, and the Guangdong Hongzhan Dust Test Chamber provides a reliable testing platform for companies.
(1) Box structure: combination of robust and durable and sealing
The test chamber is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which not only provides excellent corrosion resistance and protection against sand and dust erosion but also ensures good sealing to prevent sand and dust leakage, maintaining the stability of the testing environment. The interior is meticulously divided into functional areas such as the sample testing zone, sand and dust circulation duct, heating system, and control system, facilitating both operation and maintenance.
(2) Dust generation system: accurate simulation of dust environment
This is one of the core components of the test chamber. It consists of a sand and dust storage unit, a sand and dust conveying unit, and a sand and dust dispersion unit. The storage unit can hold sand and dust of various sizes and compositions as required by the test. The conveying unit delivers the sand and dust into the test chamber using either a screw conveyor or an air conveying method. The dispersion unit ensures that the conveyed sand and dust is evenly distributed in the air, creating a stable and suitable sand and dust environment for testing, ensuring that each sample is thoroughly tested under uniform conditions.
(3) Air circulation system: create stable dust airflow
The air circulation system consists of a fan, ducts, and an air filter. The fan provides the necessary power to ensure the air circulates within the test chamber. The ducts guide the airflow effectively, ensuring that the air passes through the sand and dust generation system and the sample testing area, allowing the sand and dust to fully contact the samples. The air filter effectively removes sand and dust particles from the circulating air, protecting the fan and other equipment from damage and extending their lifespan.
(4) Control system: intelligent and accurate operation core
The control system employs an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) and a touch screen interface. Operators can easily set and monitor test parameters, such as temperature, humidity, dust concentration, and wind speed, via the touch screen. It also features automatic adjustment capabilities, allowing it to continuously monitor and precisely adjust the various parameters inside the test chamber according to preset values, ensuring that the testing environment always meets the required standards. Additionally, the control system includes fault alarm and protection functions, which can promptly issue warning signals and take protective measures in case of any abnormal conditions, ensuring the safety of both equipment and personnel.
(5) Complete workflow: efficient and rigorous testing process
During the preparation phase, operators select appropriate sand and dust particles based on the test requirements and place them in the storage device. They then clean and inspect the test chamber and properly position the samples within the testing area. Once the test chamber is activated, the sand and dust generation system begins to operate, conveying and dispersing the sand and dust into the air. The air circulation system ensures a stable flow of sand and dust air. The control system continuously monitors and adjusts various parameters to maintain a stable test environment. During the sample testing phase, the test chamber operates according to the set schedule
When the Guangdong Hongzhan ice water impact test chamber is used in summer, the following matters should be paid special attention to to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the test results:
1. Environment and heat dissipation management
Enhance ventilation and heat dissipation High temperature in summer is easy to lead to the decrease of equipment heat dissipation efficiency. Ensure that at least 10cm space is reserved around the equipment to promote air circulation. If the equipment adopts air cooling system, the condenser surface dust should be cleaned regularly to prevent poor heat dissipation and overheating of the compressor.Control the environmental temperature and humidity. Avoid placing the equipment in the direct sunlight area. It is recommended that the laboratory temperature be kept at 25±5℃ and the humidity be lower than 85%. High temperature and high humidity environment may accelerate the accumulation of frost or condensation water on the equipment, so it is necessary to increase the dehumidification measures.
2. Refrigeration system maintenance
Water quality and tank management Bacteria are easy to breed in summer, so use deionized water or pure water to avoid hard water scaling and blocking pipes. It is recommended to change the tank water every 3 days, and empty and clean the tank before long-term disuse.Refrigeration efficiency monitoring High temperature environment may lead to overload operation of the refrigeration system. The compressor oil condition should be checked regularly to ensure sufficient refrigerant. If the water temperature exceeds the set value (such as 0~4℃), the machine should be stopped immediately for troubleshooting.
3. Frosting and defrosting treatment
Prevent frost aggravation When the humidity is high in summer, the frost rate inside the equipment may accelerate. It is recommended to perform a manual defrosting process after 10 cycles: set the temperature to 30℃ and keep it for 30 minutes, and then drain water to clean the ice crystals on the evaporator surface.
Optimize the test interval to avoid continuous long-term low temperature testing. It is recommended to reserve 15 minutes of buffer time between high temperature (e.g., 160℃) and ice water shock cycle to reduce the impact of thermal stress on the equipment.
4. Adjustment of operation specifications
Parameter setting optimization According to the characteristics of the summer environment, the normal temperature recovery stage time can be shortened appropriately (the reference standard is to complete the temperature switch within 20 seconds), but it must ensure that it meets the requirements of GB/T 2423.1 or ISO16750-4 standards.Safety protection should be strengthened. Anti-freezing gloves and goggles should be worn during operation to avoid the adhesion of hands and low-temperature parts caused by sweating. Before opening the door after high temperature test, the temperature inside the box should be confirmed to be below 50℃ to prevent scalding from hot steam.
5. Emergency and long-term shutdown preparation
Fault response If the equipment has E01 (temperature out of tolerance) or E02 (water level abnormal) alarm, you should immediately cut off the power supply and contact the technical support of the manufacturer. Do not disassemble the refrigeration pipeline by yourself.Long-term protection When not used for more than 7 days, the water tank should be emptied, power should be cut off and dust cover should be covered. At the same time, power should be on for 1 hour every half a month to keep the circuit board dry.
Through the above measures, the impact of high temperature and humidity environment in summer on the ice water shock test chamber can be effectively reduced to ensure the reliability of test data and the service life of the equipment. The specific operation details should be adjusted according to the equipment manual and actual working conditions.
1. Dust adhering to the condenser can cause the high-pressure switch of the compressor to trip and issue false alarms. Therefore, dust attached to the cooling grid of the condenser can be removed with a vacuum cleaner every month, or by using a hard-bristled brush after turning on the machine, or by blowing it off with a high-pressure air nozzle.2. The area around the machine and the ground at the bottom should be kept clean at all times to prevent a large amount of dust from being sucked into the unit or reducing equipment performance and causing accidents.3. When opening or closing the door or taking samples from the test chamber, do not touch the sealing strip on the door.4. The core of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber - the refrigeration system should be inspected once a year. Check for leaks in the copper tubes and at each joint and interface. If there are any, inform the manufacturer.5. The humidifier and water tank should be cleaned frequently to avoid scaling and affecting steam emission. Clean them after each test. Timely descaling helps extend the lifespan of the humidification tube and ensures smooth water flow. When cleaning, use a copper brush and then rinse with water.6. The distribution room should be cleaned and inspected more than once a year. Loose nodes can put the entire equipment in a dangerous working state, burn out components, cause fires, alarms, and endanger lives.7. The dry and wet bulb wicks should be checked frequently. Replace them promptly if they become hard or dirty. It is recommended to replace them every three months.8. Inspection and maintenance of the water circuit. The water pipes in the water circuit are prone to clogging and leakage. Regularly check for leaks or blockages. If found, remove them promptly or notify the manufacturer.
When operating a constant temperature and humidity test chamber, it is important to be aware of potential issues during the process and ensure proper operation. Improper handling can easily lead to equipment malfunctions. However, over time, some faults will inevitably occur. In this article, we will discuss several common faults and their solutions.
Fault: If the temperature does not reach the set value during high-temperature testing, the first step is to check the electrical system and troubleshoot each component. If the temperature in the constant temperature and humidity test chamber rises too slowly, check the air circulation system to ensure the adjustment damper is functioning properly. If the temperature rises too quickly, adjust the PID settings. If the temperature rises too quickly and triggers the over-temperature protection, the controller may be faulty; in this case, replace the control panel or solid-state relay.
Fault: If the constant temperature and humidity test chamber fails to meet the low-temperature test requirements, investigate whether the temperature drops very slowly or if it stabilizes at a certain point before rising again. If the temperature drops very slowly, check if the chamber was dried before the low-temperature test to maintain dryness. Ensure the samples are not placed too densely to prevent inadequate air circulation. After ruling out these issues, consider whether the refrigeration system is malfunctioning; in such cases, seek professional repair from the manufacturer.
Fault: If the constant temperature and humidity test chamber malfunctions during operation, with the control panel displaying a fault message and an audio alarm, the operator can refer to the troubleshooting section of the equipment's user manual to identify the type of fault. Professional maintenance personnel should then perform the necessary repairs to ensure the test proceeds smoothly. Other environmental experimental equipment will have other conditions in use, which need to be dealt with according to the current situation.
Une raison 1. Étant donné que la température de la chambre d'essai à température et humidité constantes ne peut pas être maintenue, observez si le compresseur de réfrigération peut démarrer lorsque la chambre d'essai fonctionne et si le compresseur peut démarrer lorsque l'équipement de test environnemental fonctionne, indiquant que le circuit de l'alimentation principale à chaque compresseur est normal et que le système électrique n'a aucun problème.2. Le système électrique est en bon état. Poursuivez la vérification du système de réfrigération. Vérifiez d'abord si les pressions d'échappement et d'aspiration du compresseur basse température (R23) des deux groupes frigorifiques sont inférieures à la normale, et si la pression d'aspiration est à vide, indiquant une dose de réfrigération insuffisante du groupe frigorifique principal.3. Touchez le tuyau d'échappement et le tuyau d'aspiration du compresseur R23 avec votre main et constatez que la température du tuyau d'échappement n'est pas élevée et que la température du tuyau d'aspiration n'est pas basse (pas de gel), ce qui indique également que le réfrigérant R23 dans l'hôte est insuffisant.Autre raison : 1. La cause de la défaillance n'a pas été déterminée, et une confirmation supplémentaire est apportée par le processus de contrôle de la chambre d'essai à température et humidité constantes. Cette chambre d'essai est équipée de deux groupes frigorifiques.L'une est l'unité principale et l'autre l'unité auxiliaire. Lorsque la vitesse de refroidissement est élevée, les deux unités fonctionnent simultanément au début de la phase de maintien en température. Une fois la température stabilisée, l'unité auxiliaire s'arrête et l'unité principale maintient la température. Une fuite de réfrigérant R23 de l'unité principale réduit considérablement son efficacité de refroidissement. Pendant le processus de refroidissement, les deux unités fonctionnent simultanément, garantissant des températures stables et une diminution progressive de la vitesse de refroidissement. En phase d'isolation, si l'unité auxiliaire s'arrête, l'unité principale perd sa fonction de refroidissement, ce qui entraîne une lente remontée de l'air à l'intérieur de la chambre d'essai. Lorsque la température atteint un certain niveau, le système de contrôle active le refroidissement de l'unité auxiliaire, après quoi celle-ci s'arrête à nouveau. La cause de l'échec de production a été identifiée comme une fuite de réfrigérant basse température (R23) de l'unité principale. Lors de la vérification des fuites du système de réfrigération, une fissure d'environ 1 cm a été constatée sur la tige de l'électrovanne de dérivation des gaz chauds. Après le remplacement de l'électrovanne et la recharge en réfrigérant, le système a retrouvé son fonctionnement normal. Cette analyse montre que le diagnostic des pannes suit une approche progressive, commençant par les aspects « externes » et se dirigeant vers l'intérieur, puis se concentrant sur « l'électricité » et enfin sur le « refroidissement ». Une compréhension approfondie des principes et des processus opérationnels de la chambre d'essai est essentielle pour un diagnostic précis des pannes.
1. Le condenseur (ou radiateur) de l'unité de réfrigération dans le chambre d'essai de choc thermique et froid Le condenseur doit être entretenu régulièrement pour rester propre. La poussière qui adhère au condenseur peut déclencher le pressostat haute pression du compresseur et provoquer de fausses alarmes. Le condenseur doit être nettoyé une fois par mois à l'aide d'un aspirateur pour éliminer la poussière de la grille de refroidissement. Après la mise en marche, utilisez une brosse à poils durs ou soufflez la poussière avec une buse à air haute pression.2. Lors de l'ouverture ou de la fermeture de la porte ou du retrait de l'objet à tester du four, ne laissez pas l'objet toucher le bord en caoutchouc de la porte pour éviter que le bord en caoutchouc ne soit endommagé et que sa durée de vie ne soit réduite.3. Gardez le sol autour et sous le fuselage propre à tout moment pour éviter les accidents et la dégradation des performances causés par de grandes quantités de poussière aspirées dans l'appareil.4. Le système de congélation de la chambre d'essai de chocs chauds et froids est au cœur de cette machine. Veuillez inspecter tous les six mois tous les tubes en cuivre pour détecter les fuites et l'enneigement, ainsi que toutes les buses et tous les joints de soudure. En cas de fuite d'huile, veuillez en informer l'entreprise ou intervenir directement.5. Le contact de courant fort du tableau de distribution doit être nettoyé et réparé au moins une fois par an dans le local de distribution. Un contact desserré compromettrait le fonctionnement de l'ensemble de l'équipement. Au mieux, cela brûlerait les composants, au pire, cela provoquerait un incendie, une alarme et des blessures. Lors du nettoyage, utilisez un aspirateur pour éliminer la poussière de la pièce.6. Ne modifiez pas la valeur de réglage des deux protections contre la surchauffe du boîtier de distribution électrique de la chambre d'essai de chocs chauds et froids. Ces réglages ont été effectués en usine. Ce dispositif de protection protège le tube chauffant contre les brûlures à vide et les alarmes. La valeur de réglage est comprise entre 20 et 30 °C.7. Chambre d'essai de choc froid et chaud Lorsque le produit d'essai est prélevé lorsque le moment arrive, il doit être à l'état éteint et le personnel doit porter des gants secs, anti-électricité et résistants à la température pour prendre et mettre le produit.8. Nettoyer et entretenir l'intérieur et l'extérieur de la chambre d'essai de chocs thermiques et froids. 9. Avant de mettre en service la chambre d'essai de chocs thermiques et froids, éliminer toute impureté interne. 10. Le local de distribution électrique doit être nettoyé au moins une fois par an. Utiliser un aspirateur pour enlever la poussière. L'extérieur de la chambre doit être nettoyé au moins une fois par an à l'eau savonneuse.
