Two reasons why the constant temperature and humidity test chamber does not refrigerate

2025-08-14

One reason 1. Because the temperature of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber cannot be maintained, observe whether the refrigeration compressor can start when the test chamber is running, and whether the compressor can start when the environmental test equipment is running, indicating that the circuit from the main power supply to each compressor is normal and the electrical system has no problem.

2. There is no fault in the electrical system. Continue to check the refrigeration system. First, check whether the exhaust and suction pressure of the low temperature (R23) compressor of the two sets of refrigeration units are lower than the normal value, and whether the suction pressure is in the vacuum state, indicating that the refrigeration dose of the main refrigeration unit is insufficient.

3. Touch the exhaust pipe and suction pipe of the R23 compressor with your hand, and find that the temperature of the exhaust pipe is not high, and the temperature of the suction pipe is not low (no frost), which also indicates that the R23 refrigerant in the host is insufficient.

Another reason: 1. The cause of the failure has not been determined, and further confirmation is made in combination with the control process of the constant temperature and humidity test chamber. The test chamber has two sets of refrigeration units.

One is the main unit, and the other is the auxiliary unit. When the cooling rate is high, both units operate simultaneously at the beginning of the temperature maintenance phase. Once the temperature stabilizes, the auxiliary unit stops, and the main unit maintains the temperature. If the R23 refrigerant leaks from the main unit, its cooling efficiency will be significantly reduced. During the cooling process, both units operate simultaneously, ensuring stable temperatures and a gradual decrease in cooling rate. In the insulation phase, if the auxiliary unit stops, the main unit loses its cooling function, causing the air inside the test chamber to rise slowly. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the control system activates the auxiliary unit to cool down, after which the auxiliary unit stops again. The cause of the production failure has been identified as a low-temperature (R23) refrigerant leak from the main unit. Upon checking the refrigeration system for leaks, a crack was found on the valve stem of the hot gas bypass solenoid valve, measuring about 1cm in length. After replacing the solenoid valve and recharging the system with refrigerant, the system returned to normal operation. This analysis shows that the fault diagnosis follows a step-by-step approach, starting from the 'external' aspects and moving inward, then focusing on 'electricity' and finally on 'cooling.' A thorough understanding of the test chamber's principles and operational processes is essential for accurate fault diagnosis.

2025-08-14

  The high and low-temperature impact test chamber is designed for reliability testing of industrial products under both high and low temperatures. It is used to evaluate the performance of components and materials in industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, and weaponry, as well as in higher education and research institutions, under alternating cycles of high and low temperatures. The main features include:

  1. Excellent Conductivity: The alloy cable, made by adding rare earth elements and copper, iron, silicon, and other elements from China, undergoes special processing to achieve a conductivity 62% higher than that of copper. After this process, the cross-sectional area of the alloy conductor is increased by 1.28 to 1.5 times, making the cable's current-carrying capacity and voltage drop comparable to those of copper cables, effectively replacing copper with new alloy materials.
  2. Superior Mechanical Properties: Compared to copper cables, the rebound performance of the high and low-temperature impact test chamber is 40% lower, and its flexibility is 25% higher. It also has excellent bending properties, allowing for a much smaller installation radius compared to copper cables, making it easier to install and connect terminals. The special formulation and heat treatment process significantly reduce the creep of the conductor under heat and pressure, ensuring that the electrical connections of the alloy cable are as stable as those of copper cables.
  3. Reliable Safety Performance: The high and low-temperature impact test chamber has been rigorously certified by UL in the United States and has been in use for 40 years in countries like the United States, Canada, and Mexico without any issues. Based on advanced American technology, the test chamber has been tested and inspected by multiple domestic institutions, ensuring its reliable safety.
  4. Economic Performance Savings: When achieving the same electrical performance, the direct procurement cost of high and low-temperature impact test chambers is 20% to 30% lower than that of copper cables. Since alloy cables are only half the weight of copper cables and have excellent mechanical properties, using alloy cables can reduce transportation and installation costs by more than 20% in general buildings and over 40% in large-span buildings. Using high and low-temperature impact test chambers will have an immeasurable impact on building a resource-efficient society.
  5. Excellent Anti-corrosion Performance: When exposed to air at high temperatures, alloy cables immediately form a dense oxide layer that is highly resistant to various forms of corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments. Additionally, the optimized internal structure of the alloy conductor and the use of silane cross-linked polyethylene insulation material extend the service life of alloy cables by more than 10 years compared to copper cables.                      high and low temperature shock test chamber

What should I do if the high and low temperature test chamber has problems?

2025-08-14

High and low temperature test chamber may encounter a variety of problems in the process of use, the following is a summary of potential faults and their causes from different perspectives:

1. Core system failure

Temperature out of control

Reason: PID control parameters are out of balance, ambient temperature exceeds the design range of the equipment, multi-zone temperature interference.

Case: In a special environment workshop, the external high temperature causes the refrigeration system to overload, resulting in temperature drift.

Humidity is abnormal

Reason: poor water quality of humidification leads to scaling and nozzle blockage, failure of ultrasonic humidifier piezoelectric sheet, and incomplete regeneration of dehumidification desiccant.

Special phenomenon: reverse condensation occurs during high humidity test, resulting in the actual humidity in the box being lower than the set value.

2. Mechanical and structural problems

Air flow is disorganized

Performance: There is a temperature gradient of more than 3℃ in the sample area.

Root cause: the customized sample rack changed the original design air duct and the accumulation of dirt on the centrifugal fan blade led to the destruction of dynamic balance.

 sealing failure

New failure: the magnetic force of electromagnetic sealing door decreases at low temperature, and the silicone sealing strip becomes brittle and cracks after-70℃.

3. Electrical and control system

Intelligent control failure

Software level: After firmware upgrade, the temperature dead zone setting error occurs and the historical data overflow causes the program to crash.

Hardware level: SSR solid state relay breakdown causes continuous heating and bus communication is subjected to inverter electromagnetic interference.

Security protection vulnerabilities

Hidden dangers: the synchronous failure of the triple temperature protection relay and the false alarm caused by the expiration of the refrigerant detector calibration.

4. Challenges of special working conditions

Specific temperature shock

Problem: -40℃ to +150℃ rapid conversion of the evaporator weld stress cracking, thermal expansion coefficient difference resulting in the failure of the observation window seal.

Long-term operation attenuation

Performance degradation: after 2000 hours of continuous operation, the compressor valve plate wear leads to a decrease of 15% in refrigeration capacity and drift of ceramic heating tube resistance value.

5. Environmental and maintenance impact

Infrastructure adaptation

Case: The power oscillation of PTC heater caused by the fluctuation of power supply voltage and the water hammer effect of cooling water system damaged the plate heat exchanger.

Preventive maintenance blind spots

Lesson: Ignoring the positive pressure of the box leads to water entering the bearing chamber and biofilm growth and blockage in the condensate discharge pipe.

6. Pain points of emerging technologies

New refrigerant application

Challenges: system oil compatibility problems after R448A replaces R404A, and high pressure sealing problems of subcritical CO₂ refrigeration systems.

IoT integration risks

Fault: The remote control protocol is maliciously attacked, resulting in program tampering and cloud storage failure, resulting in the loss of test evidence chain.

Strategy recommendations

Intelligent diagnosis: configure vibration analyzer to predict the failure of compressor bearing, and use infrared thermal imager to scan the electrical connection points regularly.

Reliability design: key components such as evaporator are made of SUS316L stainless steel to improve corrosion resistance, and redundant temperature control modules are added to the control system.

Maintenance innovation: implement a dynamic maintenance plan based on operating hours, and establish an annual refrigerant purity testing system。

The solutions to these problems need to be analyzed in combination with the specific model of the equipment, the use environment and the maintenance history. It is recommended to establish a collaborative maintenance mechanism including the OEM of the equipment, third-party testing institutions and user technical teams. For key test items, it is recommended to configure a dual-machine hot standby system to ensure the continuity of testing.

 

Working principle of Guangdong Hongzhan dustproof test chamber

2025-08-14

 

  The Guangdong Hongzhan Dust Test Chamber is primarily used to simulate natural sand and dust environments, testing the dust resistance of various products. In industries such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace, products may face challenges from sand and dust. If a product's dust resistance is inadequate, sand and dust particles can penetrate the equipment, leading to malfunctions, performance degradation, or even damage. Therefore, accurately assessing a product's dust resistance is crucial, and the Guangdong Hongzhan Dust Test Chamber provides a reliable testing platform for companies.

(1) Box structure: combination of robust and durable and sealing

The test chamber is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, which not only provides excellent corrosion resistance and protection against sand and dust erosion but also ensures good sealing to prevent sand and dust leakage, maintaining the stability of the testing environment. The interior is meticulously divided into functional areas such as the sample testing zone, sand and dust circulation duct, heating system, and control system, facilitating both operation and maintenance.

(2) Dust generation system: accurate simulation of dust environment

This is one of the core components of the test chamber. It consists of a sand and dust storage unit, a sand and dust conveying unit, and a sand and dust dispersion unit. The storage unit can hold sand and dust of various sizes and compositions as required by the test. The conveying unit delivers the sand and dust into the test chamber using either a screw conveyor or an air conveying method. The dispersion unit ensures that the conveyed sand and dust is evenly distributed in the air, creating a stable and suitable sand and dust environment for testing, ensuring that each sample is thoroughly tested under uniform conditions.

(3) Air circulation system: create stable dust airflow

The air circulation system consists of a fan, ducts, and an air filter. The fan provides the necessary power to ensure the air circulates within the test chamber. The ducts guide the airflow effectively, ensuring that the air passes through the sand and dust generation system and the sample testing area, allowing the sand and dust to fully contact the samples. The air filter effectively removes sand and dust particles from the circulating air, protecting the fan and other equipment from damage and extending their lifespan.

(4) Control system: intelligent and accurate operation core

The control system employs an advanced programmable logic controller (PLC) and a touch screen interface. Operators can easily set and monitor test parameters, such as temperature, humidity, dust concentration, and wind speed, via the touch screen. It also features automatic adjustment capabilities, allowing it to continuously monitor and precisely adjust the various parameters inside the test chamber according to preset values, ensuring that the testing environment always meets the required standards. Additionally, the control system includes fault alarm and protection functions, which can promptly issue warning signals and take protective measures in case of any abnormal conditions, ensuring the safety of both equipment and personnel.

(5) Complete workflow: efficient and rigorous testing process

  During the preparation phase, operators select appropriate sand and dust particles based on the test requirements and place them in the storage device. They then clean and inspect the test chamber and properly position the samples within the testing area. Once the test chamber is activated, the sand and dust generation system begins to operate, conveying and dispersing the sand and dust into the air. The air circulation system ensures a stable flow of sand and dust air. The control system continuously monitors and adjusts various parameters to maintain a stable test environment. During the sample testing phase, the test chamber operates according to the set schedule

 

What Is a Telescopic Belt Conveyor and How Does It Work?

2025-08-13

In busy logistics hubs and warehouses, moving goods efficiently is a top priority. One tool that’s become increasingly important in this process is the telescopic belt conveyor. If you've ever seen a long conveyor sliding in and out of a truck like a giant mechanical arm, you've likely seen one in action. But what exactly is it, and how does it actually work?

 

Let’s break it down in a way that combines technical understanding with real-world application.

 

A Simple Definition

At its core, a 4 extension loading and unloading conveyor is a kind of conveyor system that can extend and retract, much like a telescope. This movement allows it to reach inside trucks or containers for easier loading and unloading. The design significantly reduces manual handling, improves safety, and speeds up operations.

 

In more technical terms, it's a multi-section conveyor where the nested sections slide out to extend the length. The belt moves continuously along these sections, even as the conveyor extends or contracts.

 

How Does It Work?

Now let’s get into the mechanics—without sounding like a textbook.

 

Imagine you’ve got a truck backed up to your dock. Instead of sending in workers to carry boxes one by one, you roll up the telescopic conveyor. At the press of a button (or using manual control in simpler models), the conveyor slides forward, reaching deep inside the truck.

 

The moving belt—usually made from durable rubber or PVC—carries boxes from the vehicle right into the warehouse or the other way around. Some models even let you adjust the height or tilt the conveyor to match different truck sizes or dock levels.

 

And when the job’s done? Just retract the conveyor back like a telescope and roll it away. Simple, right?

 

Key Features (from a Practical Viewpoint)

While tech specs matter, most warehouse managers care more about how it helps:

Adjustable length – So you can handle different truck sizes.

Height control – For aligning with containers or dock heights.

One-person operation – Reduces manpower costs.

Fast belt movement – Speeds up loading and unloading dramatically.

Safety mechanisms – Like emergency stop buttons and anti-slip belts.

 

Where Is It Used?

You’ll find mobile telescopic belt conveyors in a lot of places:

Logistics centers shipping thousands of parcels daily

Online retail fulfillment hubs (think e-commerce giants)

Courier and express parcel services

Airports, for baggage handling

Warehouses and storage facilities

 

Basically, if there are goods constantly coming in and going out, a telescopic conveyor makes the job smoother.

 

Why Are Telescopic Belt Conveyors So Popular?

Now, let’s get real. Time is money—and in logistics, wasted time equals wasted revenue. A conveyor that extends into a truck eliminates time-consuming, back-breaking labor. Not to mention, it cuts down the chance of workplace injuries.

 

From a formal point of view, telescopic conveyors are recognized as effective solutions for enhancing logistics productivity, operational safety, and space optimization.

 

And let’s not forget the long-term cost savings. Fewer injuries mean fewer insurance claims. Faster operations mean quicker turnaround. That’s good news for your bottom line.

 

Whether you’re running a small warehouse or managing a large distribution center, investing in a telescopic belt conveyor can seriously streamline your operations. It's not just a piece of equipment—it’s a way to modernize your entire loading process.

 

So next time you’re stuck waiting on slow, manual unloading? Just imagine how a telescopic conveyor could slide right in and change everything.
