High and low temperature humidity test chambers are key reliability testing equipment, widely used in electronics, automotive and biomedicine. Their stability directly affects test accuracy. This article summarizes common faults and solutions for efficient troubleshooting.
I. Temperature-related Faults: Core Impact on Test Accuracy
1. Failure to Reach Set Temperature
Fault Performance: Fails to reach target temperature when heating; slow or no cooling.Possible Causes: Abnormal power voltage, burned heater, compressor failure, fan stop, air duct blockage.Solutions: Verify power matches rated specs (220V/380V); check fan operation and clean duct debris; contact professionals to replace faulty parts if heater/compressor fails.
2. Large Temperature Fluctuation and Poor Uniformity
Fault Performance: Excessive temperature difference in the chamber or frequent fluctuations near set value.Possible Causes: Abnormal fan speed, damaged air duct seals, over-dense samples blocking airflow.Solutions: Arrange samples for ventilation; check fan stability and replace damaged seals promptly.
3. Severe Temperature Overshoot
Fault Performance: Temperature overshoots set value significantly before dropping.Possible Causes: Improper controller settings, energy regulation system failure.Solutions: Restart to reset parameters; if unresolved, have technicians calibrate controller or overhaul regulation modules.
II. Humidity-related Faults: Directly Linked to Test Environment Stability
1. Failure to Reach Set Humidity
Fault Performance: Slow or no humidification.Possible Causes: Empty humidification tank, faulty water level sensor, burned humidifier tube, blocked solenoid valve.Solutions: Replenish water; clean valve filter; replace tube or repair sensor if humidifier fails to heat.
2. High Humidity That Cannot Be Reduced
Fault Performance: Humidity remains above set value; dehumidification fails.Possible Causes: Faulty dehumidification system, poor chamber sealing, high ambient humidity.Solutions: Check door seals and reduce ambient humidity; report for repair if dehumidification module fails.
3. Abnormal Humidity Display
Fault Performance: Humidity reading jumps, disappears or deviates greatly from reality.Possible Causes: Aging humidity sensor, contaminated probe.Solutions: Wipe probe with clean cloth; calibrate or replace sensor if inaccuracy persists.
III. Operation and Circulation Faults: Ensure Basic Equipment Operation
1. Fan Not Rotating or Making Abnormal Noise
Possible Causes: Motor damage, foreign objects in fan blades, worn bearings.Solutions: Clean debris after power-off; replace motor or bearings if fault persists.
2. Compressor Abnormality
Fault Performance: Compressor fails to start or stops frequently after starting.Possible Causes: Power phase loss, overload protection trigger, refrigerant leakage.Solutions: Check three-phase wiring; retry after overload reset; report for refrigerant and compressor inspection if fault recurs.
3. Equipment Alarm
Fault Performance: Alarms like "phase loss" or "overload" activate.Possible Causes: Triggered protection from wrong phase sequence, unstable voltage or overheated components.Solutions: Troubleshoot per alarm; restart after 30-minute cooldown for overload; report if ineffective.
IV. Core Notes
1. Always power off before troubleshooting to avoid shock or component damage.2. Contact professionals for complex repairs (compressors, refrigerants, circuit boards); do not disassemble yourself.3. Regularly clean air ducts, filters and sensors to reduce over 80% of common faults.
A variety of products used in home environments (more common test objects) such as televisions, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, smart speakers, routers, etc., as well as environmental protection products used to improve the home environment: such as air purifiers, fresh air systems, water purifiers, humidifiers/dehumidifiers, etc. No matter which category it is, as long as it needs to work stably for a long time in a home environment, it must undergo strict environmental reliability tests. The high and low temperature test chamber is precisely the core equipment for accomplishing this task.
The home environment is not always warm and pleasant, and products will face various harsh challenges in actual use. This mainly includes regional climate differences, ranging from the severe cold in Northeast China (below -30°C) to the scorching heat in Hainan (up to over 60°C in the car or on the balcony). High-temperature scenarios such as kitchens close to stoves, balconies exposed to direct sunlight, and stuffy attics, etc. Or low-temperature scenarios: warehouses/balconies without heating in northern winters, or near the freezer of refrigerators. The high and low temperature test chamber, by simulating these conditions, "accelerates" the aging of products in the laboratory and exposes problems in advance.
The actual test cases mainly cover the following aspects:
1. The smart TV was continuously operated at a high temperature of 55°C for 8 hours to test its heat dissipation design and prevent screen flickering and system freezing caused by overheating of the mainboard.
2. For products with lithium batteries (such as cordless vacuum cleaners and power tools), conduct charge and discharge cycles at -10°C to assess the battery performance and safety at low temperatures and prevent over-discharge or fire risks.
3. The air purifier (with both types of "environmental product" attributes) undergoes dozens of temperature cycles between -20°C and 45°C to ensure that its plastic air ducts, motor fixing frames and other structures will not crack or produce abnormal noises due to repeated thermal expansion and contraction.
4. Smart door lock: High-temperature and high-humidity test (such as 40°C, 93%RH) to prevent internal circuits from getting damp and short-circuited, which could lead to fingerprint recognition failure or the motor being unable to drive the lock tongue.
High and low temperature test chambers are not only applicable but also indispensable for the testing of household environmental products. By precisely controlling temperature conditions, it can ensure user safety and prevent the risk of fire or electric shock caused by overheating or short circuits. Ensure that the product can work stably in different climates and home environments to reduce after-sales malfunctions. And it can predict the service life of the product through accelerated testing. Therefore, both traditional home appliance giants and emerging smart home companies will take high and low temperature testing as a standard step in their product development and quality control processes.
