DR-H204 Rapid Temperature Change Test Chamber
Run accelerated heating and cooling cycles for environmental stress screening of electronics, automotive components, aerospace assemblies and other temperature-sensitive products. The published 800 L configuration provides selectable low-temperature options and rapid cooling rates up to 25°C/min.
Where Fast-Rate Thermal Cycling Fits
This chamber keeps the specimen stationary while the conditioned air follows a programmed ramp and dwell profile. It is designed for screening and thermal cycling—not the near-instant transfer exposure produced by a two- or three-zone thermal shock chamber.

Expose boards, modules, connectors and power electronics to repeated temperature transitions that help reveal assembly and material weaknesses.
Automotive and aerospace
Cycle controllers, sensors, lighting, avionics and compact assemblies using the applicable product or customer procedure.
Battery and energy systems
Evaluate non-abuse thermal-cycle performance only after specimen heat, electrical interfaces and the required safety scope are defined.

Define the Ramp Before the Chamber Is Sized
Fix the endpoints
State the exact start and finish temperatures. A rate quoted across a narrow central span cannot be assumed across the full chamber range.
Choose the measurement basis
Specify chamber-air control, monitoring sensor positions and whether specimen temperature must follow the same slope.
Add the real load
Include specimen mass, fixture thermal mass, powered watts, duty cycle and cable heat leakage in the cooling calculation.

Engineering Factors That Control Loaded Performance
Refrigeration capacity
The selected low-temperature end, cooling rate, test load and facility cooling conditions determine the required refrigeration system.
Heating and control
Heater capacity and control tuning must reproduce the programmed upward transition without unacceptable overshoot.
Airflow and fixture design
Specimen spacing and low-mass, open fixtures help conditioned air reach all surfaces and reduce local temperature lag.
Powered heat
Live electronics oppose the cooling system. Provide maximum continuous and transient watts rather than a nominal device rating.
Ports and interfaces
Define power, signals, thermocouples and communication cables so feedthroughs can be sized and sealed correctly.
Facility utilities
Confirm electrical supply, heat rejection, cooling-water conditions if applicable, drainage, ambient limits and service access.

Câu hỏi thường gặp
What ramp rates are published for this DR-H204 page?
The current technical table lists 5°C/min heating and 5, 10, 15 or 25°C/min cooling. Confirm the selected rate, temperature span and whether it is average or linear in the quotation.
Does the published rate apply under full powered load?
The visible table does not establish one universal loaded guarantee. Provide fixture mass and maximum powered heat so loaded performance can be calculated and included in FAT criteria.
Is this the same as a thermal shock chamber?
No. A rapid change chamber controls a programmed air-temperature ramp while the specimen remains stationary. A thermal shock chamber typically transfers the specimen between separate zones.
Is humidity standard on the 800 L configuration?
The page discusses optional humidity, but the published 800 L technical table does not establish a confirmed humidity envelope for every rapid-rate configuration. Treat it as an option requiring a separate operating chart.
What power supply is published?
The current 800 L technical table states three-phase 380 V / 50 Hz. Final current and rated power depend on the selected temperature and ramp-rate configuration.
