Custom Temperature Humidity Chamber For Institution Academic Research And Education

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Adaptable Chamber Structure
  • The chamber is constructed with high-quality materials that ensure durability and stability. The exterior is made of corrosion-resistant steel, providing a long service life and protection against the rigors of a laboratory environment. The interior is crafted with smooth, non-reactive surfaces to prevent any interference with the samples being tested. The chamber's size and layout can be customized to fit the available space and specific experimental requirements of the university. It features adjustable shelves and racks, allowing for flexible accommodation of different experimental setups, whether it's small vials and Petri dishes or larger equipment prototypes.
• Precision Temperature and Humidity Control System
  • Temperature Range and Accuracy: Capable of achieving a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +80°C. The temperature control is highly accurate, with an error margin of within ±0.2°C. This level of precision is crucial for experiments that demand strict temperature control, such as the study of phase transitions in materials or the growth of crystals.
  • Humidity Range and Control: The humidity control system can maintain relative humidity levels from 5% to 95%. It employs advanced humidification and dehumidification techniques to ensure rapid and accurate adjustments. This is essential for research in fields like microbiology, where humidity can significantly impact the growth and viability of microorganisms, or in the study of hygroscopic materials and their properties.
  • Programmable Environmental Profiles: The chamber's control panel allows for the creation and execution of complex, custom temperature and humidity profiles. Researchers can define specific temperature and humidity sequences, dwell times, and cycling patterns to mimic real-world or theoretical environmental conditions. For example, in climate change research, simulating the temperature and humidity fluctuations of different seasons or geographical regions.
• Intuitive User Interface and Data Monitoring
  • The control panel is designed with user-friendliness in mind, enabling both experienced researchers and students to easily operate the chamber. It provides a clear and intuitive display of the current temperature, humidity, and other relevant parameters. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system that records all environmental data at a high frequency, typically up to 500 Hz. This data can be stored in the chamber's internal memory or exported to external storage devices for in-depth analysis. The system also allows for real-time monitoring and graphing of the data, providing instant feedback on the environmental conditions during an experiment.
• Safety and Security Features
  • To ensure the safety of users and the protection of valuable research samples and equipment, the chamber is equipped with multiple safety features. These include over-temperature and over-humidity protection systems, which automatically shut down or adjust the chamber if the set limits are exceeded. There are also emergency stop buttons and alarms that alert users in case of any malfunctions or abnormal conditions. The chamber door is designed with a reliable locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized access and maintain the integrity of the internal environment.

3. Specific Parameters

• Temperature and Humidity Uniformity
  • The chamber is engineered to provide excellent temperature and humidity uniformity throughout the testing space. Even in the corners and at different heights within the chamber, the temperature variation is minimal, typically within ±0.5°C, and the humidity variation is within ±3% relative humidity. This ensures that all samples are exposed to the same environmental conditions, eliminating any potential biases in experimental results.
• Testing Volume and Payload Capacity
  • The chamber offers a flexible testing volume, usually ranging from 0.5 m³ to 5 m³, depending on the specific requirements of the university. The payload capacity is designed to handle a variety of sample weights and sizes. It can support small, lightweight samples such as biological specimens or larger, heavier objects like engineering prototypes, with a maximum payload capacity of up to several hundred kilograms.
• Data Sampling and Resolution
  • The data acquisition system samples temperature and humidity data with a high resolution. The temperature data has a resolution of 0.1°C, and the humidity data has a resolution of 0.5% relative humidity. This fine-grained data collection allows for detailed analysis of even the slightest environmental changes and their effects on the samples.

4. Product Functions

• Research Support
  • Enables a vast array of research activities, from basic scientific inquiries to applied research projects. For example, in chemistry, it can be used to study the kinetics of chemical reactions under different temperature and humidity conditions, providing insights into reaction mechanisms and optimal reaction parameters. In biology, it helps in understanding the survival and adaptation strategies of organisms in varying climates, which is crucial for ecological and evolutionary studies.
• Teaching and Training Aid
  • Serves as an excellent teaching tool in university courses. In laboratory sessions, students can conduct experiments to observe the effects of temperature and humidity on different materials and systems. For instance, in a materials science course, students can study the expansion and contraction of metals or the degradation of polymers under different environmental stresses. This hands-on experience enhances their understanding of theoretical concepts and equips them with practical skills essential for future careers in research and industry.
• Interdisciplinary Research Facilitation
  • Facilitates interdisciplinary research by providing a common environmental testing platform. Researchers from different fields, such as engineering and environmental sciences, can collaborate on projects related to the performance and durability of materials and systems in various environmental conditions. For example, in the development of sustainable building materials, the chamber can be used to evaluate their thermal and moisture resistance properties under different temperature and humidity scenarios.
• Data Generation and Analysis
  • Generates a wealth of accurate and detailed data on temperature and humidity conditions and their effects on samples. This data can be used for statistical analysis, model validation, and the development of new theories and hypotheses. For instance, in climate modeling research, the chamber can provide experimental data to validate and refine computer models of atmospheric processes.
