WHAT ARE TEMPERATURE CHAMBERS?

Temperature Chambers, often interchangeably referred to as Thermal Chambers, are specialized enclosures designed to create controlled thermal environments.

These chambers enable precise temperature simulations ranging from extreme cold to elevated heat to provide a stable setting where researchers can test products or materials for their resilience, durability, and overall performance.

The role of temperature chambers is pivotal in research and development phases across industries. Temperature chambers subject a product to various thermal conditions it is likely to encounter in the real world.

This simulative testing is essential to quality assurance processes, ensuring that products meet the safety and performance standards required.

By replicating various temperature scenarios, temperature chambers allow manufacturers and researchers to identify potential design flaws early, thus saving both time and resources in the long run.

HOW DO THERMAL CHAMBERS WORK?

A thermal chamber is a complex assembly of various components that create a controlled thermal environment. At its core are heating and cooling systems that can generate the required temperatures. These systems often use electric heaters for heating and a combination of compressors and refrigerants for cooling.

Insulation is critical to maintaining the chamber’s internal environment. Specialized materials help ensure that temperature changes are well-contained. Airflow management is also key; fans and ducts circulate the air to create uniform conditions throughout the chamber.

The “brains” of a thermal chamber are its controls and sensors. These are responsible for monitoring the temperature and ensuring it remains within set parameters.

Many thermal chambers utilize PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controllers to maintain temperature accuracy. PID controllers continuously calculate the difference between the desired and current temperatures, making real-time adjustments to the heating and cooling systems to keep the temperature within a predefined range.

All these components come together to power a system that can simulate a wide range of temperature conditions, making thermal chambers invaluable tools in product development and quality assurance processes.

Some companies equip their refrigeration systems with a wide array of components, ensuring that every part mentioned in textbooks is included. However, is it truly necessary to install all these components? Does installing all of them always bring benefits? Let's analyze this matter and share some insights with fellow enthusiasts. Whether these insights are correct or not is open to interpretation.

Oil Separator

An oil separator allows most of the compressor lubricating oil carried out from the compressor discharge port to return. A small portion of the oil must circulate through the system before it can return with the refrigerant to the compressor suction port. If the system's oil return is not smooth, oil can gradually accumulate in the system, leading to reduced heat exchange efficiency and compressor oil starvation. Conversely, for refrigerants like R404a, which have limited solubility in oil, an oil separator can increase the saturation of oil in the refrigerant. For large systems, where the piping is generally wider and oil return is more efficient, and the oil volume is larger, an oil separator is quite suitable. However, for small systems, the key to oil return lies in the smoothness of the oil path, making the oil separator less effective.

Liquid Accumulator

A liquid accumulator prevents uncondensed refrigerant from entering or minimally entering the circulation system, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. However, it also leads to increased refrigerant charge and lower condensation pressure. For small systems with limited circulation flow, the goal of liquid accumulation can often be achieved through improved piping processes.

Evaporator Pressure Regulating Valve

An evaporator pressure regulating valve is typically used in dehumidification systems to control the evaporation temperature and prevent frost formation on the evaporator. However, in single-stage circulation systems, using an evaporator pressure regulating valve requires the installation of a refrigeration return solenoid valve, complicating the piping structure and hindering system fluidity. Currently, most test chambers do not include an evaporator pressure regulating valve.

Heat Exchanger

A heat exchanger offers three benefits: it can subcool the condensed refrigerant, reducing premature vaporization in the piping; it can fully vaporize the return refrigerant, reducing the risk of liquid slugging; and it can enhance system efficiency. However, the inclusion of a heat exchanger complicates the system's piping. If the piping is not arranged with careful craftsmanship, it can increase pipe losses, making it less suitable for companies producing in small batches.

Check Valve

In systems used for multiple circulation branches, a check valve is installed at the return port of inactive branches to prevent refrigerant from flowing back and accumulating in the inactive space. If the accumulation is in gaseous form, it does not affect system operation; the main concern is preventing liquid accumulation. Therefore, not all branches require a check valve.

Suction Accumulator

For refrigeration systems in environmental testing equipment with variable operating conditions, a suction accumulator is an effective means to avoid liquid slugging and can also help regulate refrigeration capacity. However, a suction accumulator also interrupts the system's oil return, necessitating the installation of an oil separator. For units with Tecumseh fully enclosed compressors, the suction port has an adequate buffer space that provides some vaporization, allowing the omission of a suction accumulator. For units with limited installation space, a hot bypass can be set up to vaporize excess return liquid.

Cooling Capacity PID Control

Cooling capacity PID control is notably effective in operational energy savings. Moreover, in thermal balance mode, where temperature field indicators are relatively poor around room temperature (approximately 20°C), systems with cooling capacity PID control can achieve ideal indicators. It also performs well in constant temperature and humidity control, making it a leading technology in refrigeration systems for environmental testing products. Cooling capacity PID control comes in two types: time proportion and opening proportion. Time proportion controls the on-off ratio of the refrigeration solenoid valve within a time cycle, while opening proportion controls the conduction amount of the electronic expansion valve.

However, in time proportion control, the lifespan of the solenoid valve is a bottleneck. Currently, the best solenoid valves on the market have an estimated lifespan of only 3-5 years, so it's necessary to calculate whether the maintenance costs are lower than the energy savings. In opening proportion control, electronic expansion valves are currently expensive and not easily available on the market. Being a dynamic balance, they also face lifespan issues.

To achieve the desired test conditions in a constant temperature and humidity test chamber, it is inevitable to perform humidification and dehumidification operations. This article analyzes the various methods commonly used in Labcompanion constant temperature and humidity test chambers, highlighting their respective advantages, disadvantages, and recommended conditions for use.

Humidity can be expressed in many ways. For test equipment, relative humidity is the most commonly used concept. Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in the air to the saturation vapor pressure of water at the same temperature, expressed as a percentage.

From the properties of water vapor saturation pressure, it is known that the saturation pressure of water vapor is solely a function of temperature and is independent of the air pressure in which the water vapor exists. Through extensive experimentation and data organization, the relationship between water vapor saturation pressure and temperature has been established. Among these, the Goff-Gratch equation is widely adopted in engineering and metrology and is currently used by meteorological departments to compile humidity reference tables.

Humidification Process

Humidification essentially involves increasing the partial pressure of water vapor. The earliest method of humidification was to spray water onto the chamber walls, controlling the water temperature to regulate the surface saturation pressure. The water on the chamber walls forms a large surface area, through which water vapor diffuses into the chamber, increasing the relative humidity inside. This method emerged in the 1950s.

At that time, humidity control was primarily achieved using mercury contact conductivity meters for simple on-off regulation. However, this method was poorly suited for controlling the temperature of large, lag-prone water tanks, resulting in long transition processes that could not meet the demands of alternating humidity tests requiring rapid humidification. More importantly, spraying water onto the chamber walls inevitably led to water droplets falling on the test samples, causing varying degrees of contamination. Additionally, this method posed certain requirements for drainage within the chamber.

This method was soon replaced by steam humidification and shallow water pan humidification. However, it still has some advantages. Although the control transition process is lengthy, the humidity fluctuations are minimal once the system stabilizes, making it suitable for constant humidity tests. Furthermore, during the humidification process, the water vapor does not overheat, thus avoiding the addition of extra heat to the system. Additionally, when the spray water temperature is controlled to be lower than the required test temperature, the spray water can act as a dehumidifier.

Development of Humidification Methods

With the evolution of humidity testing from constant humidity to alternating humidity, there arose a need for faster humidification response capabilities. Spray humidification could no longer meet these demands, leading to the widespread adoption and development of steam humidification and shallow water pan humidification methods.

Steam Humidification

Steam humidification involves injecting steam directly into the test chamber. This method offers rapid response times and precise control over humidity levels, making it ideal for alternating humidity tests. However, it requires a reliable steam source and can introduce additional heat into the system, which may need to be compensated for in temperature-sensitive tests.

Shallow Water Pan Humidification

Shallow water pan humidification uses a heated water pan to evaporate water into the chamber. This method provides a stable and consistent humidity level and is relatively simple to implement. However, it may have slower response times compared to steam humidification and requires regular maintenance to prevent scaling and contamination.

Dehumidification Process

Dehumidification is the process of reducing the partial pressure of water vapor in the chamber. This can be achieved through cooling, adsorption, or condensation methods. Cooling dehumidification involves lowering the temperature of the chamber to condense water vapor, which is then removed. Adsorption dehumidification uses desiccants to absorb moisture from the air, while condensation dehumidification relies on cooling coils to condense and remove water vapor.

Conclusion

In summary, the choice of humidification and dehumidification methods in constant temperature and humidity test chambers depends on the specific requirements of the tests being conducted. While older methods like spray humidification have their advantages, modern techniques such as steam humidification and shallow water pan humidification offer greater control and faster response times, making them more suitable for advanced testing needs. Understanding the principles and trade-offs of each method is crucial for optimizing test chamber performance and ensuring accurate and reliable results.

The Solar Simulation Irradiation Test Chamber, also known as the "sunlight radiation protection test device," is categorized into three types based on test standards and methods: air-cooled xenon lamp (LP/SN-500), water-cooled xenon lamp (LP/SN-500), and benchtop xenon lamp (TXE). The differences among them lie in test temperature, humidity, accuracy, duration, etc. It is an indispensable testing instrument in the series of aging test chambers.

The test chamber utilizes an artificial light source combined with G7 OUTDOOR filters to adjust the system's light source, simulating the radiation found in natural sunlight, thereby meeting the requirements for solar simulators as stipulated in IEC 61646. This system light source is employed to conduct light aging tests on solar cell modules in accordance with IEC 61646 standards. During the testing, the temperature on the back of the modules must be maintained at a constant level between 50±10°C. The chamber is equipped with automatic temperature monitoring capabilities and a radiometer to control the light irradiance, ensuring it remains stable at the specified intensity, while also controlling the duration of the test.

Within the solar simulation irradiation test chamber, the period of ultraviolet (UV) light cycling typically shows that photochemical reactions are not sensitive to temperature. However, the rate of any subsequent reactions is highly dependent on the temperature level. These reaction rates increase as the temperature rises. Therefore, it is crucial to control the temperature during UV exposure. Additionally, it is essential to ensure that the temperature used in accelerated aging tests matches the highest temperature that materials would experience when directly exposed to sunlight. In the solar simulation irradiation test chamber, the UV exposure temperature can be set at any point between 50°C and 80°C, depending on the irradiance and ambient temperature. The UV exposure temperature is regulated by a sensitive temperature controller and a blower system, which ensures excellent temperature uniformity within the test chamber.

This sophisticated control over temperature and irradiance not only enhances the accuracy and reliability of the aging tests but also ensures that the results are consistent with real-world conditions, through this Solar Simulation Irradiation Test Chamber, which can provide valuable data for the development and improvement of solar cell technologies.

This product is designed for the fluorescent ultraviolet (UV) lamp method in laboratory light source exposure testing of various materials. It is primarily used to evaluate the changes in materials when exposed to outdoor conditions, as well as for durability testing of new material formulations and products.

This UV Aging Test Chamber utilizes fluorescent UV lamps that optimally simulate the UV spectrum of sunlight. Combined with temperature and humidity control devices, it replicates the effects of sunlight (UV spectrum), high temperature, high humidity, condensation, and dark cycles, which cause material damage such as discoloration, loss of brightness, reduced strength, cracking, peeling, chalking, and oxidation. Additionally, the synergistic effect of UV light and moisture weakens or nullifies the material's resistance to light or moisture, making it widely applicable for assessing the weather resistance of materials. This test chamber offers the best simulation of sunlight's UV spectrum, low maintenance and operational costs, ease of use, and high automation with programmable controllers for automatic test cycle operation. It also features excellent lamp stability and high reproducibility of test results.

The humidity system consists of a water tank and a humidification system. Through the mechanism of moisture condensation, the exposed surface of the sample is wetted, simulating rain, high humidity, and condensation, which, in conjunction with UV light and dark cycles, creates an optimal testing environment. The chamber is equipped with safety protection systems, including water shortage prevention, dry burn protection, over-temperature protection, short-circuit protection, and overload protection, located on the electrical control panel and inside the electrical control cabinet. Upon entering an alarm state, the equipment automatically cuts off the power to the working system, halts operation, and emits an audible alert to ensure the safety of both the equipment and the operator.

Introduction:
To ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products, stability testing must be conducted to estimate their shelf life and storage conditions. Stability testing primarily investigates the impact of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light on the quality of pharmaceuticals over time. By studying the degradation curve of the product, the effective shelf life can be determined, ensuring the efficacy and safety of the drug during its use.

Storage Conditions for Pharmaceuticals

General Storage Conditions

Note 1: If the long-term testing condition is already set at 30°C ± 2°C / 65% ± 5% RH, intermediate testing is not required. However, if the long-term condition is 25°C ± 2°C / 60% ± 5% RH and significant changes are observed during accelerated testing, intermediate testing should be added. The evaluation should be based on the criteria for "significant changes."

Note 2: For impermeable containers such as glass ampoules, humidity conditions may be exempt unless otherwise specified. However, all test items specified in the stability testing protocol must still be performed for intermediate testing. Accelerated testing data must cover at least six months, while intermediate and long-term stability testing must cover a minimum of twelve months.

Storage in Refrigerators

Storage in Freezers

Stability Testing for Formulations in Semi-Permeable Containers

For formulations containing water or solvents that may experience solvent loss, stability testing should be conducted under low relative humidity (RH) conditions when stored in semi-permeable containers. Long-term or intermediate testing should be performed for 12 months, and accelerated testing for 6 months, to demonstrate that the product can withstand low RH environments.

Note 1: If the long-term testing condition is set at 30°C ± 2°C / 35% ± 5% RH, intermediate testing is not required.

Calculation of Water Loss Rate at 40°C

The following table provides the water loss rate ratio at 40°C under different relative humidity conditions:

Explanation: For aqueous pharmaceuticals stored in semi-permeable containers, the water loss rate at 25% RH is three times that at 75% RH.

This document provides a comprehensive framework for conducting stability testing under various storage conditions to ensure the quality, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceutical products throughout their shelf life.

In many outdoor environments, materials can be exposed to humidity for up to 12 hours a day. Research shows that the main factor causing this outdoor humidity is dew, rather than rainwater. The Accelerated Aging Test chamber simulates the outdoor humid erosion through its unique condensation function. During the condensation cycle of the test, the water in the reservoir at the bottom   of the test chamber is heated to generate hot steam, which fills the entire test chamber. The hot steam maintains the relative humidity in the test chamber at 100% and keeps a relatively high temperature. The sample is fixed on the side wall of the test chamber, so that the test surface of the sample is exposed to the ambient air inside the test chamber. The outer side of the sample is exposed to the natural environment, which has a cooling effect, resulting in a temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the sample. This temperature difference leads to the continuous generation of condensed liquid water on the test surface of the sample throughout the condensation cycle.

Since the exposure time to humidity during outdoor exposure can be as long as more than ten hours a day, a typical condensation cycle generally lasts for several hours. The Accelerated Aging Tester provides two methods for simulating humidity. The most widely used method is the condensation method, which is the best way to simulate outdoor humid erosion. All Accelerated Aging Tester models can run the condensation cycle. Because some application conditions also require the use of water spray to achieve the actual effect, some models can run both the condensation cycle and the water spray cycle.

For certain applications, water spray can better simulate the final usage environmental conditions. Water spray is very effective in simulating the thermal shock or mechanical erosion caused by sudden temperature changes and the scouring of rainwater. Under certain actual application conditions, for example, in the sunlight, when the accumulated heat dissipates rapidly due to a sudden shower, the temperature of the material will change sharply, resulting in thermal shock, which is a test for many materials. The water spray of the chamber can simulate thermal shock and/or stress corrosion. The spray system has 12 nozzles, with 6 nozzles on each side of the test chamber. The spray system can run for a few minutes and then be turned off. This short period of water spraying can quickly cool the sample, creating the conditions for thermal shock.
