Walk In Hot & Cold Chambers

Walk In Hot & Cold Chambers

A Walk-In Hot & Cold Chamber is a large, climate-controlled testing environment used to simulate extreme temperature conditions for the evaluation of large products, materials, and equipment. These chambers can subject products to extreme heat (up to +180°C) and freezing cold (down to -70°C) to assess their durability, reliability, and performance under extreme environmental stress.

Walk-In Hot & Cold Chambers are essential for industries such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, pharmaceuticals, defence, and food production. They enable manufacturers to comply with ISO 9001:2015, CE, NABL and other industry standards testing standards. These chambers are widely used for temperature cycling, thermal shock, and stability testing of large-scale products and bulk production batches.

Key Features

From -70°C to +180°C for both hot and cold testing.

Large Walk-In Capacity:

Customizable sizes ranging from 5,000 L to 100,000+ L to test large equipment and multiple products.

Airflow & Circulation:

Uniform airflow system ensures even temperature distribution throughout the chamber.

Temperature Cycling:

Ability to rapidly switch from hot to cold conditions for thermal cycling and shock testing.

Digital Control System:

Thyristorized PID controller, PLC-based, touchscreen HMI for test programming, monitoring, and data logging.

Multi-Zone Testing:

Separate zones for hot, cold, and ambient conditions to test product performance.

Data Logging & Remote Access:

USB, Ethernet, and cloud-based monitoring for real-time test data tracking.

Safety Features:

Over-temperature protection, humidity control alarms, door interlocks, and emergency stop systems.

Humidity Control (Optional):

Humidity range of 10% to 95% RH for comprehensive environmental testing.

Compliance Ready:

Complies with ISO 9001:2015, CE, NABL and other industry standards

Testing Capabilities

Temperature Cycling:

Applies repeated heating and cooling cycles to simulate thermal fatigue and stress.

Thermal Shock Testing:

Subjects products to rapid temperature changes (e.g., -70°C to +180°C) to measure structural integrity.

Humidity Testing:

Optional humidity control from 10% to 95% RH for comprehensive testing.

Cold Chain Simulation:

Simulates storage and transportation conditions for vaccines, pharmaceuticals, and food.

Stability Testing:

Maintains constant temperature and humidity for ICH Q1A stability studies.

Steady-State Testing:

Tests product reliability under long-term exposure to a fixed temperature or humidity.

Multi-Sample Testing:

Tests multiple samples at once, increasing efficiency and throughput.
