Photovoltaic module damp heat test chamber
The Photovoltaic Module Damp Heat Test Chamber is designed to simulate long-term tropical aging conditions for photovoltaic modules and related electronics. By combining high temperature and high humidity control, the system enables accelerated evaluation of module reliability, encapsulant degradation, and potential PID (Potential Induced Degradation) effects. It is suitable for R&D laboratories, quality assurance, and certification testing in compliance with international standards.
Application
Accelerated aging tests of photovoltaic modules under high temperature and humidity.
Evaluation of PID resistance and encapsulant performance.
Reliability testing of batteries, PV modules, and electronic assemblies in wet and humid conditions.
Indoor certification and R&D testing for IEC/UL compliance.
Standards
IEC 61215: Terrestrial Photovoltaic (PV) Modules – Design Qualification and Type Approval
UL 1073: Standard for Safety for Enclosures for Electrical Equipment
ISO 16750-4: Road Vehicles – Environmental Conditions and Testing for Electrical and Electronic Equipment
CE Certification (Conformité Européenne)
Features
Extreme Environmental Simulation: 85°C ±2°C / 85% RH control replicates 10+ years of tropical aging in 1,000 hours.
Ultra-Stable Performance: ±1°C temperature stability and ≤2°C uniformity for consistent long-term testing.
Energy Efficiency: Advanced insulation and heat recovery reduce power consumption by 40%; ECO mode for auto power-down during stabilization.
Safety First: Dual overload protection with thermal cutout and door interlock system.
Smart Diagnostics: AI-powered degradation prediction using IV curve shifts and EL imaging data; remote monitoring via 4G/LTE.
Flexible Operation: Dual-chamber design enables simultaneous wet/dry testing; modular expansion up to 1,500 L for full-size PV arrays.
User-Friendly Interface: 10” touchscreen HMI with preloaded IEC/UL test profiles and automated condensation drainage.
Glovebox Compatibility: Oxygen/moisture controlled operation for sensitive electronics.

Test Procedures
Install test samples securely on the sample racks.
Set desired temperature and humidity profile using the touchscreen HMI.
Initiate the test cycle and monitor chamber conditions.
Record environmental data and any module performance changes throughout the test.
Complete the test and perform post-test inspection of modules or assemblies.
Export test reports for analysis or certification documentation.
Maintenance Information
Inspect heating elements, humidity sensors, and chamber seals regularly.
Clean interior surfaces and drainage channels to prevent mold or corrosion.
Verify calibration of temperature and humidity sensors periodically with NIST-traceable standards.
Replace worn or degraded components (heating elements, filters) according to operational hours.
Ensure safety interlocks and emergency systems are functional before operation.
