How to choose xenon lamp aging test chamber and UV ultraviolet light aging test chamber
Now many customers will ask a question, we need to do accelerated aging test on the product, should we buy a xenon lamp aging test chamber or a UV ultraviolet aging test chamber? We know that both the xenon lamp aging test chamber and the UV ultraviolet aging test chamber are the same light aging test equipment. The difference is that the xenon lamp aging test chamber has more comprehensive functions; therefore, the cost of the xenon lamp aging test chamber is much higher than that of the UV ultraviolet aging test chamber. How do users choose when purchasing? Many customers buy through agents and only tell them to buy aging chambers, but only after the equipment is bought back, they find that the test requirements cannot be met! Therefore, you must do your homework before purchasing, do more research on national standards, find industry standards according to your own products, and choose xenon lamp or ultraviolet aging chamber according to the temperature and humidity, light source and other test methods specified in the standard test method in the standard. If there is no industry standard, and you just want to conduct an aging test on the product, you can choose according to your budget. Some customers will ask, I want a chamber that can do both xenon lamp aging and UV aging test at the same time? The answer is no! why? Mainly because the light source is different, the whole lighting system is very different; Xenon light sources are generally high-power full-spectrum lamps. The commonly used power is 1500W/1800W/2500W. In order to ensure an effective irradiation area, the number of lamps used in different chamber sizes is different, generally 1-3 ( standard specification); Each lamp tube needs to be equipped with a series of configurations such as the corresponding power supply, trigger, and fan heating system. The power of UV aging lamp is very small, the power of one lamp is 40W, and it only needs to be equipped with a ballast of the same specification to light the lamp; A chamber is equipped with 8 lamps, which add up to 320W of power. So this is one of the reasons for the large cost gap between the xenon lamp aging test chamber and the UV ultraviolet light aging test chamber!
