9. Housing ƒ Will be a mono block construction that comprises
all systems necessary for operation.
ƒ Outer material will be primed and phosphated.
ƒ Color Grey (RAL-7032) Epoxy based
Electrostatic powder coating for a good aesthetic
look.
ƒ The exterior surface will have high wear
resistance.
ƒ Cold rolled mild steel for all panels and chassis.
ƒ Leveling pads will be provided for installation.
10. Test Space ƒ Pre-polished stainless steel with high gloss brush
finish.
ƒ 18swg stainless steel with reinforced bottom floor
will be provided to withstand a distributed load of
500Kg/m2.
ƒ All seams will be TIG welded ensuring a vapor tight
enclosure.
ƒ Available with a clear workspace.
ƒ Double continuous seal rings of silicone rubber will
be mounted on a thermal breaker strip as the
gasket to ensure complete sealing and zero
conduction form the test space to the exterior.
11. Insulation ƒ Will be of PUF insulation with low conductivity.
ƒ Insulation Thickness of 75mm.
12. Door ƒ Robust hinges on the right hand side of the
chamber will be provided.
ƒ Spring loaded latch will be provided with a locking
facility.
ƒ The inner surface of the door will be provided with
pre-polished stainless steel and will be mounted
such that conduction is avoided.
ƒ A micro switch is provided for an interlock between
the conditioning fan and the door opening.
13. Viewing Window ƒ A 400 x 400 mm multi-pane insulated window glass
for inspection will be provided on the door.
ƒ The multi pane window will consist of 5 toughened
glasses sealed with silicone and separated by
spacers to form a completely vaccumised window.
ƒ Defogger heaters will be provided with an auto cut-
off.
ƒ Halogen Lighting will be provided to view the
specimen under test.
14. Test Space Conditioning ƒ The air circulation within the chamber will be as
close to laminar ensuring uniform airflow all across
the workspace.
ƒ Standard frame TEFC motor will be used with a
detachable extended shaft.
ƒ Only the co-axial fan blades will be exposed in the
conditioning plenum ensuring the drive motor will be
placed outside.
ƒ The conditioning plenum will be covered with a
removable sheet providing easy access for
maintenance.
15. Refrigeration System ƒ High Capacity ultra-low temperature hermetic
compressor will be used.
ƒ The compressor will be mounted on anti vibration
pads.
ƒ Eco friendly Non-CFC refrigerant R-404a will be
used.
ƒ An air-cooled condenser specially designed for
tropical climates is driven by a co-axial fan.
ƒ The heat exchanger coils will be with Inner grooved
copper tubes and will be finned for maximum heat
transfer.
ƒ Hot gas bypass systems will be used for protection
against No-Load condition and superior stability and
control in temperature.
16. Heating System ƒ Stainless steel sheathed air heaters will be used to
achieve the desired positive set temperature.
ƒ The heaters will be placed in the conditioning
plenum such that there is no direct radiation from
the heaters onto the test specimen.
ƒ Heater outputs are controlled through a SSR for
superior stability and control in temperature.
17. Dehumidification ƒ Refrigeration based de-humidification coils are
used.
ƒ The desired level of lower humidity will be achieved
by maintaining the precise dew point temperature.
ƒ The output will automatically be activated based on
the set point as well as in ramp up mode after a low
temperature cycle.
18. Humidification ƒ A low-pressure droplet free vapor boiler using direct
vaporization system will be used.
ƒ Reservoir will be provided at the side of the
chamber with an 8 x 6mm PU tube quick connector.
ƒ The de-mineralized water which is recommended is
connected to the reservoir and is controlled
automatically through a water-in solenoid.
19. Instrumentation & Control ƒ Provided with a Eurotherm - UK temperature
indicator and controller.
ƒ Special PID control algorithm loaded with auto
tuning features.
ƒ Sensing done through a Platinum resistance RTD
PT-100 for temperature and Capacitive Solid State
sensor for humidity.
ƒ Display of set value & actual value of temperature
in (oC) (ºF) and humidity in %RH.
ƒ Digital Time totalizer will be provided to monitor
usage.
20. Provisions ƒ One standard access port of 50 mm diameter with a
silicone plug.
ƒ Adjustable tray provision with one stainless steel
tray.
ƒ Standard industrial 3 pin 16A plug with 5m cable.
21. User Manual ƒ One set of operating and maintenance manual in
English.
ƒ Complete drawings of mechanical layout,
refrigeration and electrical system with clear
identification will be provided.
22. Safety & Protection Devices ƒ Complete or circuit relevant protection based on
fault with audio-visual alarm.
ƒ Independent temperature protection for test
specimen (T max & T min)
ƒ Software temperature limiter for min. /max. Test
chamber temperature.
ƒ Protection for excess pressure in refrigeration
circuit.
ƒ Bypass protection at No-Load conditions.
ƒ The control and monitoring system will be protected
against input electrical surge and spike.
ƒ Common Earth point will be provided.
ƒ Low water level protection will be provided with an
electrical float switch.
