1. Preparation for Load-bearing and Dimensional Adaptation
• The load-bearing capacity of the site floor shall strictly meet the core requirement of ≥500kg/m², which is a key prerequisite for ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment and avoiding equipment deformation or safety hazards caused by insufficient load-bearing capacity.
• It is necessary to accurately confirm the external dimensions of the test chamber specified in the technical specification in advance. Combined with the on-site actual survey of the transportation and installation path, ensure that the equipment can smoothly pass through all key passage nodes such as elevators, laboratory doors and corridors, so as to avoid delay in delivery and installation due to inconsistent dimensions.
2. Preparation for Installation Site Conditions
• The floor of the installation site shall be flat without protrusions and depressions, and the ventilation conditions shall meet the basic standards for equipment operation. At the same time, there shall be no flammable, explosive, corrosive gases or dust in the environment, as such substances will seriously affect the service life of equipment components and the accuracy of test data.
• Strong electromagnetic radiation sources such as high-voltage lines and large motors should be actively avoided near the equipment installation location, as strong electromagnetic interference may cause disorder of the equipment control system, thereby affecting the temperature and humidity control accuracy of the test chamber.
• A floor drain that meets the drainage standards must be provided within 2 meters of the equipment's refrigeration unit. This requirement is to timely discharge the condensed water generated during the operation of the refrigeration system, so as to avoid water accumulation soaking the equipment or polluting the site environment.
• Sufficient maintenance and operation space shall be reserved around the equipment in accordance with specifications. The specific requirements strictly follow the following standards: Area A ≥80cm, Area B ≥60cm, Area C ≥110cm, Area D ≥110cm.

It serves as the core support for reliable test processes and accurate results, building a solid safety barrier for product quality verification.
In environmental reliability testing, high-low temperature humidity test chambers and constant temperature and humidity test chambers are easily confused due to similar names, but they differ significantly in testing capabilities, applications and technical characteristics. Accurate distinction and selection are key to ensuring valid test data. This blog will analyze the core differences and provide selection suggestions.
I. Core Definition: Essential Distinction of Functional Boundaries
The core difference between the two starts with functional positioning, which directly determines the applicable scenarios.
The core of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber is "maintaining stability". It can accurately control and maintain the set temperature and humidity for a long time, and is used to simulate the long-term performance of products in specific environments, such as electronic component stability testing and textile temperature-humidity sensitivity testing. Its core requirement is "steady-state environmental performance verification".
The high-low temperature humidity test chamber focuses on "dynamic simulation". In addition to precise temperature and humidity control, it has a wide-range fluctuation capability, which can simulate environments such as high-low temperature cycles and alternating humidity and heat, such as extreme temperature differences during product transportation and diurnal temperature-humidity changes of outdoor equipment. Its core requirement is "dynamic environmental reliability verification".
II. Key Differences: Multi-dimensional Analysis from Technology to Application
1. Temperature and Humidity Range and Fluctuation Capacity
The constant temperature and humidity chamber has a mild temperature and humidity range (temperature 0℃-100℃, humidity 30%-95%RH) and high control precision (temperature fluctuation ±0.5℃, humidity ±2%RH), but no extreme temperature-humidity impact capability.
The high-low temperature humidity chamber has a wider temperature and humidity coverage (temperature -70℃~200℃, humidity 10%-98%RH) and rapid change capability (heating rate 3℃/min-15℃/min, cooling rate 1℃/min-10℃/min), which can realize rapid cycle switching between "high temperature and high humidity - low temperature and low humidity"—a feature unavailable in the former.
2. Differences in Core Technical Architecture
The constant temperature and humidity chamber adopts single-stage compression refrigeration, conventional resistance heating, and steam or ultrasonic humidification. Its system design focuses on "energy saving and stability", with simple structure and low operating cost.
To meet extreme needs, the high-low temperature humidity chamber uses cascade refrigeration, rapid-heating tubes, and its humidity system includes a fast-response dehumidification module, with a thicker insulation layer on the chamber wall. Its technical complexity and manufacturing cost are much higher than the former.
3. Applicable Scenarios and Testing Purposes
The constant temperature and humidity chamber is used for steady-state environmental adaptability testing, such as electronic component aging and pharmaceutical storage simulation, to verify the performance consistency and durability of products in a fixed environment.
The high-low temperature humidity chamber focuses on dynamic reliability testing, such as high-low temperature cycling of auto parts and extreme environment simulation of aerospace products, to expose product defects (material aging, structural deformation, etc.) under drastic environmental changes.
In summary, the constant temperature and humidity chamber guards the steady-state environment, while the high-low temperature humidity chamber challenges the dynamic environment. There is no absolute advantage or disadvantage between the two. Only by matching needs, clarifying scenarios and budgets can the test truly guarantee product quality.
The over-temperature protection of the temperature test chamber is a multi-level and multi-redundant safety system. Its core purpose is to prevent the temperature inside the chamber from rising out of control due to equipment failure, thereby protecting the safety of the test samples, the test chamber itself and the laboratory environment.
The protection system usually consists of the following key parts working together:
1. Sensor: The main sensor is used for the normal temperature control of the test chamber and provides feedback signals to the main controller. An independent over-temperature protection sensor is the key to a safety system. It is a temperature-sensing element independent of the main control temperature system (usually a platinum resistance or thermocouple), which is placed by strategically at the position within the box that best represents the risk of overheating (such as near the heater outlet or on the top of the working chamber). Its sole task is to monitor over-temperature.
2. Processing unit: The main controller receives signals from the main sensor and executes the set temperature program. The independent over-temperature protector, as an independent hardware device, is specifically designed to receive and process the signals from the over-temperature protection sensor. It does not rely on the main controller. Even if the main controller crashes or experiences a serious malfunction, it can still operate normally.
3. Actuator: The main controller controls the on and off of the heater and the cooler. The safety relay/solid-state relay receives the signal sent by the over-temperature protector and directly cuts off the power supply circuit of the heater. This is the final execution action.
The over-temperature protection of the temperature test chamber is a multi-level, hard-wire connected safety system designed based on the concepts of "redundancy" and "independence". It does not rely on the main control system. Through independent sensors and controllers, when a dangerous temperature is detected, it directly and forcibly cuts off the heating energy and notifies the user through sound and light alarms, thus forming a complete and reliable safety closed loop.
