Applications

Full Vehicle Sunlight Simulation Test Chamber is designed to evaluate the aging performance of complete assemblies or entire vehicles under sunlight exposure. Users can assess changes in performance after irradiation, including alterations in shape, color, gloss, texture, strength, and various thermal expansion results. Additionally, it tests key metrics such as vehicle starting capability, motor performance, and overall air conditioning functionality under solar radiation.

Test Procedures

1. Equipment and Sample Preparation

Equipment Inspection: Verify that the solar simulator chamber's irradiance (1000 W/m²), temperature (-40°C to 110°C), humidity (5%–95% RH), and air velocity (0.5–10 m/s) parameters comply with standards.

Sample Installation: Position the test vehicle at the chamber center, ≥0.3m from chamber walls, with ≥0.76m distance from radiation lamps.

2. Test Implementation

Cycle Test:

Cycle Count: Minimum 3 cycles, maximum 7 cycles, each lasting 24 hours.

Irradiance Control: Adjust in segments or continuously to maintain constant total energy.

Temperature Regulation: Set ambient and radiation temperatures according to test requirements.

Humidity Regulation: Control surface humidity via a water spray system.

Steady-State Test:

Cycle Count: Determined by exposure duration (e.g., 4 cycles for a 10-day test).

Parameter Settings: Maintain stable irradiance, temperature, and humidity.

3. Performance Testing

Initial Inspection: Record specimen appearance, temperature sensor data, and operational performance before testing.

Intermediate Inspection: Conduct visual inspection, dimensional measurement, and electrical testing at peak temperature.

Final Inspection: Evaluate performance changes post-testing to ensure compliance with product specifications.
