The Damp Heat Tester Chamber is a modern environmental testing machine made to check how strong, safe, and reliable a product is when it is kept for a long time in high temperature and high humidity conditions. It is widely used in many industries such as solar, electronics, automotive, aerospace, telecommunications, polymers, and consumer appliances. This chamber helps manufacturers make sure their products can handle tropical climates and moisture-filled environments without getting damaged or failing.

It gives accurate and repeatable test results and meets international testing standards like IEC, ISO, JIS, and BIS. The Damp Heat Tester not only helps in following global quality rules but also gives industries confidence that their products will stay strong, reliable, and perform well even in the toughest conditions.

Damp Heat Test Chamber for Solar PV Module

The Damp Heat Test Chamber is a special environmental testing machine used to check how durable and reliable products are, especially solar PV modules, when they are exposed to both high temperature and high humidity for long periods of time.

This chamber copies real-world tropical weather conditions to find out if a product can last through continuous heat, moisture, and temperature changes. It ensures that the product remains strong, safe, and long-lasting. The test is usually done as per IEC 61215 standard, where the product is exposed to high temperature and humidity, such as 85°C and 85% relative humidity (RH), to find any weak points or chances of damage.

The instrument allows testing as per IEC 60068, ISO, JIS, and BIS standards, making it globally accepted. It has easy-to-use programmable controls, stable humidity control, and strong construction. The Damp Heat Tester provides consistent and accurate test results for both continuous and cyclic damp heat testing, helping industries check the long-term performance of their products.

A Damp Heat Test Chamber is an environmental testing device designed to evaluate the durability and reliability of materials or products—such as solar PV modules—under high temperature and high humidity conditions.

 

This test simulates long-term exposure to harsh climates to check for degradation, delamination, corrosion, and electrical performance loss, ensuring the PV modules meet IEC 61215 or IEC 61730 standards.

 

Standard test conditions are 85°C temperature and 85% relative humidity (RH) for a duration of 1,000 hours or more, depending on the testing standard.

They are widely used in the solar energy, electronics, automotive, aerospace, and materials research industries for reliability and quality testing.

 

Common test samples include solar panels, electronic components, coatings, plastics, adhesives, and metal assemblies that are sensitive to moisture and temperature changes.

 

Typical chambers include pressure relief ports, explosion-proof chains, CO₂ fire suppression systems, gas detectors, and exhaust valves to ensure safe operation during high-temperature and humidity testing.

 

The Damp Heat Test Chamber is designed to comply with IEC 61215, IEC 61730, ISO, ASTM, and other international testing standards for environmental reliability.
