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
Fault: The remote control protocol is maliciously attacked, resulting in program tampering and cloud storage failure, resulting in the loss of test evidence chain.
Strategy recommendations
Intelligent diagnosis: configure vibration analyzer to predict the failure of compressor bearing, and use infrared thermal imager to scan the electrical connection points regularly.
Reliability design: key components such as evaporator are made of SUS316L stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance, and redundant temperature control modules are added to the control system.
Maintenance innovation: implement a dynamic maintenance plan based on operating hours, and establish an annual refrigerant purity testing system。
The solutions to these problems need to be analyzed in combination with the specific model of the equipment, the use environment and the maintenance history. It is recommended to establish a collaborative maintenance mechanism including the OEM of the equipment, third-party testing institutions and user technical teams. For key test items, it is recommended to configure a dual-machine hot standby system to ensure the continuity of testing.

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.
The high and low-temperature impact test chamber is designed for reliability testing of industrial products under both high and low temperatures. It is used to evaluate the performance of components and materials in industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and weaponry, as well as in higher education and research institutions, under alternating cycles of high and low temperatures. The main features include:
Excellent Conductivity: The alloy cable, made by adding rare earth elements and copper, iron, silicon, and other elements from China, undergoes special processing to achieve a conductivity 62% higher than that of copper. After this process, the cross-sectional area of the alloy conductor is increased by 1.28 to 1.5 times, making the cable's current-carrying capacity and voltage drop comparable to those of copper cables, effectively replacing copper with new alloy materials.
Superior Mechanical Properties: Compared to copper cables, the rebound performance of the high and low-temperature impact test chamber is 40% lower, and its flexibility is 25% higher. It also has excellent bending properties, allowing for a much smaller installation radius compared to copper cables, making it easier to install and connect terminals. The special formulation and heat treatment process significantly reduce the creep of the conductor under heat and pressure, ensuring that the electrical connections of the alloy cable are as stable as those of copper cables.
Reliable Safety Performance: The high and low-temperature impact test chamber has been rigorously certified by UL in the United States and has been in use for 40 years in countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico without any issues. Based on advanced American technology, the test chamber has been tested and inspected by multiple domestic institutions, ensuring its reliable safety.
Economic Performance Savings: When achieving the same electrical performance, the direct procurement cost of high and low-temperature impact test chambers is 20% to 30% lower than that of copper cables. Since alloy cables are only half the weight of copper cables and have excellent mechanical properties, using alloy cables can reduce transportation and installation costs by more than 20% in general buildings and over 40% in large-span buildings. Using high and low-temperature impact test chambers will have an immeasurable impact on building a resource-efficient society.
Excellent Anti-corrosion Performance: When exposed to air at high temperatures, alloy cables immediately form a dense oxide layer that is highly resistant to various forms of corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments. Additionally, the optimized internal structure of the alloy conductor and the use of silane cross-linked polyethylene insulation material extend the service life of alloy cables by more than 10 years compared to copper cables.
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.
