How to Choose a Temperature Chamber?

Selecting an appropriate RIUKAI temperature chamber involves considering multiple factors to ensure it aligns with your specific testing requirements.

Here are 6 aspects to ponder:

1.Temperature Range:

RIUKAI’s conventional temperature chambers usually feature an extensive temperature scope, capable of achieving temperatures from a chilling -70℃ to an elevated 150℃ (up to 180℃). This broad spectrum allows for a diverse array of tests and simulations.

2.Humidity Range Relative Humidity (RH)

Humidity range typically spans from 20% to 98% RH,(5% to 98% RH) accommodating a wide range of tests.Some applications may require low-humidity testing, while others may not need humidity control at all, which can offer cost savings.

3. Temperature Cycling Rate:

RIUKAI standard chambers have a temperature rise rate of 3℃/min and a temperature fall rate of 1℃/min. Other rates of 5℃/min, 10℃/min, 15℃/min, 20℃/min, etc. can be customized.

4.Internal DimensionSize and Capacity:

Depending on the size of the products being tested, temperature chamber range from small benchtop units to large walk-in or drive-in chambers. Consider future needs as well; opting for a slightly larger chamber might be more cost-effective in the long run.

5.Strategic Considerations for Selecting Environmental Test Chambers:
Selecting Appropriate Environmental Test Chambers: During this selection phase, companies must address not only their present testing requirements but also foresee any future needs that may arise.

6.Test Product in temperature chamber:

Most people mistakenly believe that as long as the product fits inside the box, box performance is irrelevant to space, regardless of the size of the product. What is important is that to ensure effective airflow, the box must have sufficient airflow volume. That’s why it’s important to pick the right size thermostat for your thermostat box. Please contact us and we will recommend the right size for you.

Cooling method:

The air inside the chamber is cooled by the refrigeration system. The heat extracted by the refrigeration system is dissipated through the condenser. There are two main types of condensers: air-cooled and water-cooled.

Air-Cooled cooling systems:

These condensers use ambient air to dissipate heat. Air is usually drawn across the condenser coils by a fan, removing heat from the refrigerant.

Water-cooled cooling systems:

Water-cooled setups generally excel in heat dispersion more effectively compared to air-cooled systems. They are adept at managing greater cooling demands and sustaining steadier temperatures, rendering them ideal for bulkier apparatus.

Selecting between air-cooled and water-cooled setups for environmental test apparatus hinges on the particular demands and circumstances of both the machinery and the testing milieu. For diminutive environmental testing instruments having minimal cooling needs, provided that the temperature regulation and operational criteria throughout the testing phase are sufficiently fulfilled, the air-cooled mechanism offers a viable and cost-effective alternative.

Through a meticulous assessment of these 6 elements, you can choose a temperature chamber that not only accommodates your immediate testing requirements but also offers adaptability for upcoming endeavors.
