Significance and Use4.1 ECDG perform a number of
26、important functions in abuilding envelope including: reducing the solar energy heatgain; providing a variable visual connection with the outsideworld; enhancing human comfort (heat gain), security,illumination, and glare control; providing for architecturalexpression, and (possibly) improving acoust
27、ical performance.It is therefore important to understand the relative serviceabil-ity of these glazings.4.2 This test method is intended to provide a means forassessing the relative serviceability of ECDGs, as described inSection 1.4.3 The test method is intended to simulate in-service useand accele
28、rate aging of the environmentally controlled dy-namic glazings.4.4 Results from these tests cannot be used to predict theperformance over time of in-service units unless actual corre-sponding in-service tests have been conducted and appropriateanalyses have been conducted to show how performance can
29、be predicted from the accelerated aging tests.4.5 The procedure in this test method includes environmen-tal test parameters that are typically used in weatherability testsby standards organizations and are realistic for the intended useof large-area ECDG units.5. Apparatus5.1 Accelerated Weathering
30、Unit (AWU), consisting of atemperature controlled chamber with properly filtered xenon-arc lamp(s) to simulate the spectral power distribution of solarradiation over the UV/Visible and NIR wavelength region(Tables for Reference G173) operated in accordance withPractice G155.5.1.1 Fig. 1 shows a top-
31、view schematic diagram of theessential features of the environmental test chamber includingthe layout of the ECDG on a test plane of sufficient size to testat least four specimens simultaneously, the location of asufficient number of xenon-arc lamps above the test plane todeliver the specified radia
32、tion intensity, and the necessaryconnecting thermocouple cables from the ECDGs to thecomputer-controlled data acquisition system.5.1.2 Some means of adjusting the light intensity anduniformity on the test plane shall be provided in order to obtainthe desired light intensity and lateral uniformity wi
33、thin theguidelines of this document. This can be provided throughadjustment of the position of the test plane relative to thelamp(s) or through adjustment of the output of the lampsthemselves. Temperature control within the test chamber shallbe provided. Conditions inside the closed space shall beco
34、ntrolled for air temperatures from 20 to 95 C. Humiditywithin the test chamber shall be monitored and shall not exceed60 %.5.1.3 Simulated solar radiation shall be provided by aspectrally filtered xenon arc lamp(s) housed within a reflectorsystem. The lamps shall be suitably filtered to provide a ma
35、tchof the Hemispherical Solar Spectral Irradiance on 37 TiltedSun-Facing Surface (Tables for Reference G173) from 300 to900 nm (see Note 1). The lamps may employ a NIR absorbingE3119 172filter to reduce the heat load in the chamber and allowappropriate temperature control.NOTE 1At longer wavelengths
36、, the xenon arc emission is at variancewith the Tables for Reference G173 hemispherical solar spectral irradi-ance because the intensities relative to those in the UV/visible region arehigher than in solar radiation. However, this part of the spectrum does notcause photolytically induced degradation
37、.5.1.4 The ECDG specimens are to be located on the testplane a given distance from the xenon arc lamps.5.1.5 The AWU shall have a means for allowing thermo-couple connections to pass from inside to the outside of the unitto allow temperature monitoring of the specimens.5.2 Spectrometer, for acquirin

39、 to the spectrometer. One optical fiberguides the incident light from the lamp source to one side of thespecimen; another optical fiber guides the transmitted light tothe spectrometer attached to a computer. The fibers shall beoptically coupled by properly aligned collimating lens assem-blies attach
40、ed to both the illuminating and the collection fibers.5.3 Temperature Controlled Chamber (see Fig. 2), capableof achieving the selected test temperatures for the test speci-mens. The temperature controlled chamber will be used tocarry out optical measurements of the ECDGs at the selectedtest tempera
41、tures. It shall be large enough for the largest ECDGto be tested. The temperature controlled chamber must also bedesigned to permit using the equipment in 5.2 for opticalmeasurements while the ECDG is maintained at the tempera-ture chosen for evaluation of the specimens as defined in 7.3.1.5.4 Digit

Procedure47.1 OverviewThe ECDGs are exposed to simulated solarirradiance in a temperature controlled chamber at specimentem
44、peratures ranging from 70 to 105 C. Accept the prevailingrelative humidity in the chamber but ensure that it does notexceed 60 %. The ECDG specimens are optically characterized(that is, the specular transmittance is recorded at several ECDGlayer temperatures) in a temperature controlled chamber at t
45、heselected testing temperatures prior to exposure in the AWU inorder to establish the performance characteristics of eachsample. After exposure in the AWU, the specimens are opti-cally characterized as they were initially to provide after-agingECDG transmittance data.4This procedure is based, in par
