1. Introduction
In modern industrial production, the performance of products under extreme environmental conditions directly determines their market competitiveness and safety. Humidity and temperature chamber plays an indispensable role in this context, as it enables the simulation of harsh climatic environments such as high/low temperature, dryness, and high humidity, thereby assessing product stability. Among various environmental testing equipment, the LISUN GDJS-015B humidity and temperature chamber stands out due to its high precision, wide applicability, and compliance with multiple international standards. This paper aims to systematically analyze the GDJS-015B, exploring its technical characteristics and practical value in industrial testing.

2. Overview of LISUN GDJS-015B Humidity and Temperature Chamber

The LISUN GDJS-015B is a member of the GDJS series, specifically designed for simulating complex climatic conditions to test the heat-endurance, cold endurance, dryness-endurance, and humidity-endurance of materials and products. Its core function is to replicate natural environmental changes, allowing manufacturers to verify whether their products meet intended performance requirements before market launch.

2.1 Design and Material

The GDJS-015B adopts a robust structure to ensure stability during long-term operation:
• Main Body: Constructed with SUS304 stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance and high-temperature tolerance, ensuring the chamber’s durability even in extreme conditions.
• Thermal Insulation: The insulation layer combines polyurethane hard foam and ultra-fine glass fiber, minimizing heat loss and maintaining stable internal temperatures.
• Sealing: The doorframe uses high-temperature aging silicone rubber sealing strips, preventing moisture and temperature leakage, which is crucial for accurate humidity control.

4. Compliance with International Standards

A key advantage of the GDJS-015B humidity and temperature chamber is its adherence to numerous international and national standards, ensuring its test results are recognized globally. These standards include:
• IEC 60068-2-1: Specifies cold testing procedures (Test A).
• IEC 60068-2-2: Defines dry heat testing protocols (Test B).
• IEC 60068-2-78: Covers steady-state damp heat tests (Test Cab).
• IEC 60598-1: Applies to luminaire testing requirements.
• IES LM-80-08: Provides methods for measuring LED lumen maintenance.
• GB/T 2423.17: Chinese standard for salt mist testing of electrical products.
• GB/T 5170.2 and 5170.5: Regulate inspection methods for temperature and damp heat testing equipment in China.

Compliance with these standards ensures that tests conducted using the GDJS-015B are valid for product certification in global markets.

5. Working Principle of the Humidity and Temperature Chamber

The GDJS-015B operates by precisely regulating temperature and humidity to simulate specific environmental conditions. Its functionality can be broken down into three core systems:

5.1 Temperature Control System

• Heating: Utilizes a nickel-chrome electric heater, controlled by the Siemens PLC to achieve rapid and stable temperature rises (1.0℃~3.0℃/min).
• Cooling: Employs a fully enclosed air-cooled single-stage compression refrigeration system with a French TECUMSEH compressor. This enables efficient temperature drops (0.7℃~1.0℃/min) even for extreme low-temperature ranges (-70℃).
• Circulation: A temperature-resistant, low-noise air-conditioned motor with a multi-blade centrifugal wind wheel ensures uniform air distribution, maintaining temperature evenness within ±2℃.

5.2 Humidity Control System

Humidification is achieved by increasing water vapor pressure. The chamber uses a Finland-manufactured electronic humidity sensor (PT100Ω/MV), which requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional dry ball devices. Additionally, a built-in water purification device allows direct connection to a water pipe, eliminating the need for manual water refills— a feature that enhances operational convenience.

5.3 Control and Monitoring

The chamber is equipped with a Korean TEMI display (dual language: English/Chinese) for real-time monitoring of temperature (TEMP_PV, TEMP_SV) and humidity (HUMI_PV, HUMI_SV). It also supports RS-232 communication with PCs, enabling data logging and remote control for automated testing.

6. Applications of the GDJS-015B

The GDJS-015B is widely used across industries due to its versatile testing capabilities:

6.1 Electronics and Electrical Products

LED/CFL Testing: Evaluates lumen maintenance and durability under varying temperatures and humidity, in compliance with IES LM-80-08.
Mobile Devices and Home Appliances: Tests resistance to extreme temperatures (e.g., -40℃ to 150℃) and high humidity to ensure functionality in tropical or polar regions.

6.2 Automotive Industry

Tests automotive components (e.g., sensors, wiring harnesses) for resistance to temperature fluctuations and moisture, critical for vehicle reliability in diverse climates.

6.3 Material Science

Assesses the stability of materials such as plastics, rubber, and metals under prolonged exposure to harsh conditions, aiding in material selection for product design.

7. Comparative Advantages Over Competitors
LISUN’s GDJS-015B outperforms many Chinese competitors in several key aspects:

These features enhance the GDJS-015B’s reliability, operational efficiency, and long-term cost-effectiveness.
