Tabletop Xenon Arc Weathering Tester (SunMaster)

The Water-Cooled Xenon Lamp Weathering Test Chamber is a premium environmental simulation testing device that utilizes high-power water-cooled xenon lamps to replicate the most authentic full sunlight spectrum. By precisely controlling climatic factors such as light exposure, temperature, humidity, and rainfall (spray), this equipment enables you to recreate months or even years of destructive weather conditions found in nature within a short timeframe. Whether evaluating material fading, cracking, or physical property degradation, this chamber delivers highly credible weathering test data, serving as a core tool for ensuring long-term product quality stability.

Application

This equipment enables accelerated aging testing for various high-performance materials, with specific applications including:

Automotive Interiors & Exteriors: UV and thermo-oxidative aging tests for dashboards, steering wheels, bumpers, automotive lighting, and body coatings.

Parameters

Features

Extreme energy simulation: Water-cooled system enables lamps to operate at extremely high power, delivering greater irradiance than standard air-cooled models and significantly shortening test cycles.

Automatic Closed-Loop Irradiance Control: Real-time sensing and compensation for lamp energy fluctuations ensure constant light intensity throughout the experiment.

Superior Temperature/Humidity Consistency: Rotating sample rack design positions all specimens around the central lamp, completely eliminating position-related test variations.

Advanced Water-Cooled Circulation: Efficient heat exchange system maintains optimal lamp operating temperature, extending the lifespan of expensive consumables.

Multiple Protection Mechanisms: Features comprehensive alarm protections against leakage, low water levels, overheating, and fan failures, enabling 24/7 unattended operation.
