Product Advantages

Energy-Efficient Air Cooling System

Eliminates the need for water chillers, reducing energy consumption by up to 40% compared to traditional water-cooled models.

Low-noise operation (<60 dB) ensures a quiet testing environment.

Cost-Effective Maintenance

No water pipes, filters, or coolant replacements required. Simplified design minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.

Rapid Thermal Cycling

Achieve temperature shifts from -20°C to 80°C in <10 minutes, accelerating test cycles without compromising accuracy.

Advanced Spectral Control

Precision filters mimic natural sunlight (UV, visible, and IR spectra) for realistic aging simulation.

User-Centric Design

10.4” touchscreen with intuitive interface, multi-language support, and remote monitoring via Wi-Fi/Ethernet.

Product Features

Dual-Mode Cooling Technology

Combines forced-air convection with a high-efficiency heat sink to stabilize lamp temperature during prolonged tests.

Intelligent Irradiance Control

Closed-loop feedback system maintains ±0.02 W/m² irradiance accuracy (300–400 nm range).

Programmable Climate Control

Independent settings for temperature (-20°C to 100°C), humidity (10%–95% RH), and rainfall simulation (0–50 cycles/hour).

Safety First

Overheat protection, emergency stop, and UV-shielding acrylic door ensure operator safety.

Modular Expandability

Add-on modules for ozone control, salt spray corrosion, and mechanical stress testing.
