OverviewUV accelerated aging test chamber simulates environmental conditions including solar ultraviolet radiation, rain, high temperature, high humidity, dew condensation and darkness. The chamber executes these conditions in programmed cycles and provides automated monitoring of blackboard and water tank temperatures. An optional irradiance measurement and control device (UV-SI-260) allows measurement and stable control of irradiance (e.g. 0.76 W/m2/340 nm).
Design and ConstructionEquipped with fluorescent UV lamps that reproduce the UV spectrum of sunlight and expose specimens to alternating cycles of UV light and moisture at controlled elevated temperatures. Dew and rain are simulated by condensing humidity and/or water spray.
