Why Humidity Testing Chambers?
Humidity testing chambers play a crucial role in:
- Reliable and Accurate Testing Results: Ensures your products perform as expected under varied environmental conditions.
- Simulation of Real-World Conditions: Mimics real-life scenarios such as high humidity and temperature cycling.
- Stress and Accelerated Testing: Tests products under extreme conditions to predict long-term performance.
- Freeze/Thaw and Condensation Simulation: Alternates between high humidity and cold/freezing temperatures to simulate environmental stress.
Common Applications
- Stable Control: Maintains consistent temperature and humidity levels for accurate testing.
- Durable Construction: Designed for reliable, long-term use.
- Advanced Technology: Features like programmable touch-screen controllers and USB/Ethernet connectivity.
Customization and Optional Features
ESPEC chambers can be tailored with various options:
- Water Filtering
- Water Supply Tanks (with recirculation mode)
- Humidity Sensor Types (wet-bulb or solid state)
- Leak Pans and Alarms
Support and Services
- Water Supply: Chambers
need a water source; a filter is required if using city water, or a
local water supply tank can be purchased if no water source is
available.
- Drainage: Chambers require a gravity drain to remove spent water. The drain must be near and lower than the chamber.
- Free “Remote Start-Up” Service: Get quick and efficient setup assistance for your humidity operation.
