This week, We have developed 1 piece 1500 liters rapid-rate thermal cycling chamber for our engineering mechanics research institute customer. This thermal cycling chamber equip with a 50 ton water cooling tower system. Different from other Chinese thermal cycling chambers manufacturers, The technician from Wewon Tech has considered the heat load of the test samples. During the sample’s power-on test, the total power of the 5 test samples reached 20 kW. This is undoubtedly a big challenge, But we have finally accomplished the task brilliantly.
In order to ensure the cooling rate and minimum temperature requirements of the Wewon’s thermal cycling chamber, the machine adopts a dual cascade air-cooled refrigeration system composed of Tecumseh hermetic compressors. The cascade refrigeration system consists of a high-temperature refrigeration cycle and a low-temperature refrigeration cycle. The connecting container is an evaporative condenser. The evaporative condenser plays the role of energy transfer. The heat energy in the working room is transferred out through the two-stage refrigeration system to achieve high temperature purpose.

The design and application of refrigeration system and energy regulation technology is an effective treatment method. It can not only ensure that the refrigeration unit operates under normal conditions, but also can effectively adjust the energy consumption and refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system, so that the operating cost and failure rate of the refrigeration system are reduced to a more economical state. There are many types of enviornmental chambers for environmental simulation test. The thermal cycling chambers and the climatic test chambers are two different equipment for environmental testing.
From the appearance, They are not big but different, and the tests they perform are quite different. The thermal cycle test machine simulates the changes of the external environment through physical cooling and heating methods, and creates extreme environmental temperatures to test the extreme environmental adaptability of the product to ensure stronger weather resistance in subsequent use. The appearance of the rapid-rate thermal cycle chambers are not much different from that of the conventional environmental test chambers, But with its excellent temperature raising and lowering capabilities and higher control technology, It has become one of the first choices of major car companies and research institutes.

Thermal cycling chamber is the use of TEMPERATURE ACCELERATION METHOD [1] to change the external environmental stress under the design strength limit of the product, so that thermal stress and strain are generated in the product, and the DEFECTS LATENT IN THE PRODUCT [2] emerge through the accelerated stress. In this way, It is possible to avoid the failure of the tested products in the future during use and the test of environmental stress, resulting in unnecessary losses.
| ● | TEMPERATURE ACCELERATION METHOD | Refers to the alternating expansion and contraction of the product when circulating within the upper and lower extreme temperatures. |
| ● | DEFECTS LATENT IN THE PRODUCT | Include potential part material defects, process defects, process defects, etc. |
The temperature cycling chamber has a wide range of uses, and its function is similar to that of the thermal shock test chamber. Different from the thermal shock test machine, the temperature change of the thermal cycling chamber is relatively constant, that is, the temperature change rate is relatively stable or to high temperature. The temperature change of the thermal shock chamber is a situation where it will be cold and hot. The reason is that the thermal shock test machine directly uses the air in the high temperature and low temperature regions to perform the thermal change test.
When the user needs to perform a rapid temperature change test, whether to choose a thermal cycling chamber or a thermal shock chamber, They need to choose according to their own product. Some product testing hopes to detect with stable temperature changes, so it is appropriate to use a thermal cycle chamber. If the temperature change efficiency is extremely high, then it is good to use a thermal shock test equipment.

The thermal cycling chamber has a significant effect on improving the yield rate of product shipments and reducing the number of repairs. In addition, The stress screen itself is a process stage, not a reliability test. Therefore, Stress screening is a 100% test test performed on the product.
