How to prevent the high and low temperature cycling test chamber from freezing?

Release time:2025-04-14
As winter approaches, it's essential to keep warm by wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. Similarly, we should not neglect the winter protection of high and low temperature cycling test chambers. These chambers have high environmental requirements, so extra care must be taken to keep them warm. Here are some measures to prevent freezing :

Steam Tracing

Use steam to heat the pipes for insulation. Before sending steam for winter insulation, check whether the steam insulation pipes are unobstructed or blocked.

Alarm System

If possible, install a sound and light alarm device to detect steam leakage or power failure. This helps in identifying and promptly addressing potential insulation and freezing issues.

Proper Installation Location

Choose a location that is dry, free from rain or snow leakage, and well-ventilated for the installation of the test chamber.

Electric Heat Tracing

Electric heat tracing is a new type of heating technology that directly converts electrical energy into heat. Install heating cables and wrap the heat tracing tape around the instruments or stick it inside the instrument cabinet. However, be mindful of the length of the heat tracing tape used to ensure it is economically appropriate.
These are the anti-freezing measures for high and low temperature cycling test chambers. Proper winter protection is crucial to reduce the likelihood of equipment malfunctions.
