Product Features and Structure
| 1. Ventilation and Cooling System: The temperature‑controlled ventilation and cooling system of the test chamber is automatically regulated by a temperature controller, while the interior is cooled by a refrigeration system. |
| 2. The blackboard thermometer control system employs wired transmission technology, effectively enhancing control accuracy. |
| 3. Fiber-optic transmission is used to measure the radiant intensity of xenon lamps, thereby avoiding measurement errors caused by temperature variations. |
| 4. A blackboard thermometer (BPT) or a black standard thermometer (BST) has been installed on the sample holder. |
| 5. To record the duration of each test, the equipment is equipped with a timer on the control panel, allowing precise time management; once the set time elapses, the device automatically shuts down. |
| 6. Safety Protection Device: To ensure the xenon arc lamp operates properly and remains durable, this safety feature automatically shuts off the xenon lamp when the door is opened and halts all machine functions. |
| 7. It consists of a test chamber, a heating/lighting system, and an electrical control system. |
2. Inner box structure: 1. The air-cooled xenon lamp features two lamp tubes arranged side by side, with a center-to-center distance of 100 mm. 2. The lamp is mounted directly above the inner chamber and is separated from it by a filter. 3. The upper part of the inner box features a conical structure, similar to a lampshade, which helps ensure more uniform illumination. 4. A parallel sample rack is installed in the center of the inner chamber, with adjustable mounting height for the samples. 5. Each compartment is 50 mm; adjust the height to suit the sample dimensions. 6. An irradiance sensor (Teelong) is installed in the middle of the sample holder. (Internal Box Structure Diagram) |
Control system
| The control system is one of the most critical components of this equipment. It features a Kunlun Tongtai full‑touchscreen controller, an integrated electromagnetic compatibility design, and a user‑friendly menu interface. Temperature control is achieved through a PLC program developed in‑house and adaptive temperature‑control technology, simplifying operation and eliminating the drawbacks of conventional PID control—such as the need for repeated parameter tuning and temperature overshoot—while delivering outstanding performance. Parameters such as blackboard temperature, air temperature, irradiance, spray duration, pause time, cumulative irradiation energy, and the number of test cycles can all be directly set and displayed. With microcomputer‑based intelligent control, once the desired temperature is programmed, the instrument automatically regulates the heating power and indicates the heating status, ensuring precise and stable temperature regulation. Over‑temperature alarms trigger automatic shutdown of the heating circuit. The touch‑screen interface is exceptionally intuitive, providing an ideal human–machine interaction. | (Touchscreen controller) |
Refrigeration system
| The main refrigeration components feature either original French‑imported Tecumseh compressors or Emerson/Hitachi units, utilizing DuPont environmentally friendly refrigerants R404 and R23, respectively. These compressor brands have undergone decades of rigorous testing and proven to be among the most reliable medium‑sized refrigeration components worldwide. The compressors are fully hermetic, with a simple yet durable design that ensures long‑term performance and reliability. |
Heating system
| High‑frequency heating wires are critical to this system; if improperly selected, the heating elements have a short service life and are prone to funnel‑type short circuits, which is highly inconvenient and frustrating for demanding users and severely delays production and inspection schedules. To address this, our company has developed a cutting‑edge ceramic heating rack. The ceramic material boasts excellent high‑temperature resistance and superior insulation, eliminating the risk of electrical leakage or short circuits. It incorporates German‑imported heating wires with a thick gauge, designed to withstand extreme temperatures and dry‑burn conditions. A quartz glass tube is inserted between the heating wires, serving to prevent the wires from softening and sagging when red‑hot, thereby avoiding contact with the inner‑box metal and potential short‑circuit failures. This technology represents a domestic first. | (Heating tube) |
Add Wet system
| Humidification tubes are just as critical as heating elements; poor material selection can lead to electrical leakage, short circuits, and frequent malfunctions that prevent proper humidity control. Moreover, humidification systems are categorized into internal and external types: internal humidification delivers rapid moisture but often raises the chamber’s temperature, resulting in unstable temperature regulation and reduced accuracy. To address this, our company employs an external humidification design, which offers steady performance with minimal impact on the chamber’s temperature, ensuring stable thermal rise and optimal humidification. Most importantly, our humidification tubes feature a U‑shaped configuration and include an over‑temperature probe port, while the heating wires are sourced from the same premium imported brands as the heating system, guaranteeing long service life and enduring durability. | (humidifier) |
Safety Protection System
| The safety protection system is of paramount importance to users, and implementing multi-layered safeguards is a critical measure for ensuring their safety. |
| 1. Phase-sequence protection: In three-phase power systems, phase loss or reversed phase sequence can both damage equipment and pose safety risks to testing personnel. |
| 2. Leakage protection: Using heating elements or humidification tubes of substandard quality can both lead to electric shock accidents. |
| 3. Over-temperature protection: Using controllers of poor quality or from unreliable brands may lead to temperature失控, resulting in fire hazards. |
| 4. Exception Protection: When a device’s parameter deviates from its normal operating range, the system automatically issues an alarm indicating the cause and provides troubleshooting instructions, while simultaneously halting operation. The equipment will resume only after maintenance personnel have resolved the issue. |
