Why Perform Low-Temperature Xenon Testing?
Unlike standard xenon arc chambers limited to ambient to 100 °C, low-temperature xenon testing reveals how materials respond to extreme cold while under solar radiation. Many polymers, coatings, and adhesives become brittle below freezing, and when combined with UV stress, they may crack, peel, or lose adhesion—behaviors invisible in conventional tests.
This climate solar light chamber is essential for:
Solar panels and photovoltaic coatings, which face sub-zero winters and high solar irradiation.
Automotive exterior coatings, vulnerable to frost and UV-induced cracking.
Outdoor polymers and composites, where low-temperature embrittlement plus UV aging can lead to early failure.
By simulating subzero winter conditions under intense xenon light, manufacturers gain predictive data on material durability, helping reduce field failures, extend product lifespan, and meet stricter quality standards.
Key Advantages of Climatic Chambers for Solar Light Tests
1. High-Precision Solar Simulation
Full-spectrum xenon lamps deliver uniform irradiance ±5 % with intensity up to 150 W/m², accurately replicating sunlight for accelerated aging. Lamp output remains stable over long-duration tests for reproducible and precise results.
2. Broad Environmental Range
Temperature range of –40 °C to +100 °C with ±0.5 °C stability and 20–98 % RH humidity control allows combined UV and environmental stress testing. Low-temperature capability enhances testing scenarios while preserving xenon lamp performance.
3. Long-Life Xenon Lamps & Energy Efficiency
Optimized lamp cooling and dual-stage refrigeration ensure continuous operation, extending xenon lamp life to ≥1,600 h. Energy consumption is reduced by up to 15 %, while maintaining stable UV intensity and climate solar light chamber conditions throughout extended cycles.
4. Intelligent Control & Safety
Programmable PLC touchscreen controller supports multi-step cycles with adjustable UV intensity, temperature ramps, humidity variation, and water spray. Safety features include overheat, overcurrent, lamp cooling monitoring, and anti-freeze protection for reliable operation of both samples and equipment.
5. Condensation / Nighttime Humidity Simulation
The climate solar light chamber can simulate nighttime condensation and high-humidity environments as part of cyclic UV testing. Humidity ramps up to 95 % RH at low temperatures, reproducing morning dew or cold condensation scenarios.
