Thermal Cycling Damp Heat and Freeze Test Chamber is an environmental reliability testing system designed to evaluate photovoltaic modules under extreme temperature variation and high-humidity freezing conditions. By repeatedly cycling between high temperature, low temperature, and damp heat environments, the chamber simulates day–night temperature differences, seasonal transitions, and freeze–thaw stresses encountered during long-term outdoor operation. The system is used to verify structural integrity, electrical performance stability, and encapsulation durability of photovoltaic modules, serving as a critical test platform for design validation, type testing, and quality control.
