Rapid Temperature Change Chamber VS Regular Temperature Chamber

Core performance difference: not only "heating cooling faster"

Many people think that the rapid temperature change chamber is just a higher temperature change rate, but this is not the case.

From structural design to testing capabilities, the difference between the two can be described as "very different".
 

However, in high-end fields such as new energy batteries, auto parts, and aerospace, the rapid temperature change test chamber is just needed - it can accurately simulate the drastic temperature changes encountered by products during transportation and use, and expose product defects in advance.

For example, an auto parts company uses regular test chamber and needs 3 months to complete product reliability verification; After switching to a rapid temperature change chamber, the test cycle was directly shortened to 1 month, and the product time-to-market was advanced by 2 months, seizing the market opportunity.

Cost difference:

It is a recognized fact that the price of a rapid temperature change chamber is higher than that of a regular chamber, but how much is it higher? Where is the cost difference for long-term use? We'll settle the score for you.

1. Procurement cost: the purchase price of the rapid temperature change chamber is 2-5 times that of the regular chamber.

The core reason for the price difference lies in the cost difference of key components. The rapid temperature change chamber needs to be equipped with high-precision dual compressors, special heating/cooling modules, and anti-fatigue structural parts, which have a higher threshold for R&D and production, and the cost will naturally rise.

2. Running cost: higher power, more expensive consumables
The power of the rapid temperature change chamber is 1.5-3 times that of regular chamber. A 100L regular chamber has a power of about 5-8kW, while the power of a fast temperature change chamber of the same specification can reach 8-20kW, and the difference in electricity costs increases with the frequency of use.

In addition, the rapid temperature change chamber requires special high-temperature thermal oil and environmentally friendly refrigerant, and the cost of consumables is about 3 times that of regular chambers; The consumables of regular chambers are mainly filters and sensor calibration, which are low cost.

3. Maintenance costs: The more complex the structure, the higher the maintenance requirements

The annual maintenance cost is mainly concentrated in filter replacement and sensor calibration, and the cost is low.

The rapid temperature converter chamber has a higher maintenance frequency due to its many core components and high technical precision. The maintenance cost of dual compressors, precision temperature control systems and other components makes its annual maintenance cost about 4 times that of regular chambers.
