Temperature and humidity tests are a fixed part of product validation – but one detail is often underestimated: the installation position. The positioning of a test specimen in the climate chamber crucially influences how realistic and reproducible the results are. What does installation position mean? The installation position describes the
Why climate tests? Humidity can be one of the greatest challenges for technical products. While external stresses like vibrations or shocks often visibly lead to damage, humid conditions usually act invisibly—until it’s too late. This is where climate tests come into play. They simulate various environmental conditions and help detect
New regulation, new challenges, new solutions. The new EU regulation on reducing fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) introduces stricter requirements, affecting everyone working with climate chambers, cooling systems, or industrial refrigeration in general. So, it’s high time to take a closer look at CO₂ as a refrigerant. Why CO₂? What changes
👉 Which operating mode is the right one for my test?This decision is crucial.It not only influences the significance of the test results but, in the worst case, can determine the success or failure of the entire test. Why is the operating mode so important? Humidity-heat tests, such as cyclic
No manufacturer wants their product to suddenly fail in rain, heat, or cold. Reliability is key – and that’s exactly what climate testing ensures. What Types of Climate Tests Exist? There are many different tests, but three are particularly important: Constant Humid Heat Test Cyclic Humid Heat Test Cyclic Humid
Climate Testing for Electronics: Why It’s So Important How do manufacturers ensure that our devices function flawlessly in the desert or at the North Pole? This is where climate testing comes into play. What Happens During Climate Testing? Imagine a manufacturer developing a new smartphone. Naturally, it should operate perfectly
