Environmental Stress Chambers (AR Series)
For faster change rates and demanding heat loads the AR series comes in 32 configurations. The line up is split into rapid-rate chambers (5, 10, 15K/minute) and standard rate (~4K/minute) chambers.
These models are made to accelerate test time and meet German OEM test specifications including LV-124 and LV-148, along with a variety of IEC and ISO automotive standards. Tests like humidity-freeze, and rapid-rate cycling are the drivers for the development of these models.
Built-in remote monitoring and control is provided so there’s no external computer or software required. An innovative web browser application allows to monitor and control the chamber with a computer via the chamber standard Ethernet/LAN port. Mobile PC, tablet, and smart phone with multiple chamber connections possible by wireless connection.
Totally frost free operation for long term cycling use - frosting will not appear on any part of the unit despite the temperature & humidity control range of range from 10 to 98%rh. Eradicating the need to remove frosting provides stable and continuous operations.
Depending on the configuration the chamber can handle up to massive 9500W of heat load from the test samples.
