This test differs from other cyclic damp heat tests in that
28、 it derives its increased severity from: a) a greater number of temperature variations or “pumping“ actions in a given time; b) a greater cyclic temperature range; c) a higher cyclic rate of change of temperature; d) the inclusion of a number of excursions to sub-zero temperatures. The accelerated b
29、reathing and the effect of the freezing of trapped water in cracks and fissures are the essential features of this composite test. It is emphasized, however, that the freezing effect will occur only if the fissure dimensions are large enough to allow the penetration of a coherent mass of water as is
30、 normally the case in fissures between seals and metal assemblies, or between seals and wire terminations. The degree of condensation will depend mainly upon the thermal time constant of the surface of the test specimens and may be negligible for very small specimens but copious for large specimens.
31、 BS EN 60068-2-38:2009Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 13/05/2010 07:35, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI 6 60068-2-38 IEC:2009 Similarly, the breathing effect will be more apparent on specimens which contain relatively large air-filled or gas-filled voids, but again, the severity of
32、 the test will depend to some extent on the thermal characteristics of the specimens. 3.2 Application of the test For the reasons given above, it is recommended that this test procedure be limited to component type specimens when the construction of the specimens suggests a “breathing“ type of damp
33、heat test combined with icing and where the thermal characteristics are compatible with the rates of change of temperature, etc. of test Z/AD. For solid type specimens, e.g. plastic encapsulated, where there may be small hairline cracks or porous material, the absorption or diffusion mechanisms will
34、 predominate and a steady damp heat such as test C of IEC 60068-2-78 is preferred for investigating these effects. For larger specimens such as equipment or when it is essential for components to ensure thermal stability during the various phases of the cycle, test Db of IEC 60068-2-30 should be emp
35、loyed, although due to the reduced number of cycles in a given period, the degree of acceleration may not be as fast. In this case, test Db should normally form part of a sequence such as that defined in IEC 60068-1. As in other damp heat tests, a polarizing voltage or electrical loading may be appl
36、ied to the specimens. In the case of electrical loading, the loading should be such that the temperature rise of the specimens does not unduly affect the chamber conditions. From the above, test Z/AD should not be considered to be interchangeable with, or an alternative to, either steady-state or ot
37、her cyclic damp heat tests, but the choice of test procedure should be made with due regard for the physical and thermal characteristics of the test specimens and the types of failure mechanisms which are significant for each particular case. 4 Description of test chamber The exposure to moisture, f
38、ollowed by cold, can either be performed in one chamber or in two separate chambers. 4.1 Chamber for exposure to moisture The chamber for the exposure to moisture shall be so constructed that: a) The temperature can be varied between 25 C 2 K and 65 C 2 K in a period of between 1,5 h and 2,5 h for b
39、oth rising and falling temperatures. b) The relative humidity can be maintained at (93 3) % during the periods of constant or rising temperature and between 80 % RH and 96 % RH during the falling temperature periods. c) The conditions prevailing at any point in the working space are uniform and are
40、as similar as possible to those prevailing in the immediate vicinity of suitably located temperature- and humidity-sensing devices. The air in the chamber shall therefore be continuously stirred at a rate necessary to maintain the specified conditions of temperature and humidity. d) The specimens un
41、der test shall not be subjected to radiant heat from the chamber conditioning processes. e) Water used for the maintenance of chamber humidity shall have a resistivity of not less than 500 m. f) Condensed water shall be continuously drained from the chamber and not used again unless it has been repu
42、rified.

43、posure to cold The chamber for exposure to cold shall be so constructed that a) the temperature can be maintained at 10 C 2 K, b) the conditions prevailing at any point in the working space are uniform and are as similar as possible to those prevailing in the immediate vicinity of suitably located t
44、emperature-sensing devices, The air in the chamber shall therefore be continuously moving. Care shall be taken that the thermal capacity of the specimen under test does not appreciably influence conditions within the chamber. The humidity chamber may be used for exposure to cold, in which case it sh
45、all meet the requirements of 4.1 and, in addition, shall be so constructed that 1) the temperature can be lowered from 25 C 2 K to 10 C 2 K in a period of not more than 30 min, 2) the specimen can be held at a temperature of 10 C 2 K for a period of 3 h, 3) the temperature can be raised from 10 C 2
46、K to 25 C 2 K in a period of not more than 90 min. 5 Severities The number of 24 h cycles shall be 10, unless otherwise specified. If other than 10, the relevant specification shall define the number. 6 Testing procedure 6.1 Preconditioning (see Figure 1) Unless otherwise specified, the specimens in
47、 the unpacked, switched-off, ready-for-use state shall be subjected to the conditions for “assisted drying“ specified in IEC 60068-1 (55 C 2 K with a relative humidity not exceeding 20 %) for a period of 24 h prior to the first cycle of the damp heat test. The specimens shall then be allowed to atta
48、in thermal stability at standard atmospheric conditions for testing, or as otherwise specified, before the initial measurements are made.
