22、5:2002 BSI5March200260068-3-5 IEC:2001 4 INTRODUCTION IEC 60068 contains fundamental information on environmental testing procedures and severities. The expression “environmental conditioning“ or “environmental testing“ covers the natural and artificial environments to which components or equipment
23、may be exposed so that an assessment can be made of their performance under conditions of use, transport and storage to which they may be exposed in practice. Temperature chambers used for “environmental conditioning“ or “environmental testing“ are not described in any publication, although the meth
24、od of maintaining and measuring temperature and/or humidity has a great influence on test results. The physical characteristics of temperature chambers can also influence test results.

25、 guidance Confirmation of the performance of temperature chambers 1 Scope This part of IEC 60068 provides a uniform and reproducible method of confirming that temperature test chambers, without load, conform to the requirements specified in climatic test procedures of IEC 60068-2 and other standards

This standard is intended for users when conducting regular chamber performance monitoring. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

The confirmation of
38、performance of temperature chambers should be carried out under standard atmospheric conditions. The following items should be taken into consideration: the ambient conditions described in IEC 60068-1 should be satisfied in principle; the chamber should not be exposed to direct solar radiation; the
39、chamber should not be exposed to electromagnetic interference; the chamber should be levelled; the chamber should be fixed in a location free from any mechanical and acoustic vibration interference. Manufacturers advice on electrical power requirements and the environmental conditions should be take
40、n into consideration. Abnormal conditions should be recorded. 4.2 Temperature measurement system The uncertainty of measurement of the output of the measurement system should be determined by calibration of the system, traceable to international standards (see ISO 10012-1 and ISO 10012-2). Normally
41、sensors should be either the resistance type (in accordance with IEC 60751) or the thermocouple type (in accordance with IEC 60584-1). The 50 % response time in air of the sensor shall be between 10 s and 40 s. The response time of the overall system should be less than 40 s. In a temperature range
42、from 200 C to +200 C the sensor measurement uncertainty should be in accordance with class A of IEC 60751. 4.3 Temperature chamber test load All measurements described below are performed with an empty working space. If it is not possible to empty the chamber totally this should be recorded. For mea
43、suring with test load (with or without heat dissipation) see IEC 60068-3-7. 4.4 Installation of temperature sensors Temperature measuring sensors are located in each corner and in the centre of the working space (see figure 3, minimum 9 sensors). For temperature chambers over 2 000 l, additional sen
44、sors should be located in front of the centre of each wall (see figure 4, minimum 15 sensors). The measuring system is to be arranged in such a way that the temperature distribution of the empty test chamber will not be affected. Recording of the achieved temperature should be effected.

46、ded at least once a minute. The device used for recording data from the chamber monitoring sensors should be independent of the chamber control system. 4.5 Determination of temperature performance 4.5.1 Achieved temperature, temperature fluctuation, temperature variation in space, temperature gradie
47、nt The output of the temperature measuring system (see figure 3 or figure 4) determine, after chamber stabilization, the achieved temperature, temperature fluctuation and temperature gradient of the working space. Uncertainty of measurement of the temperature measuring system should be taken into ac
48、count and the allowable tolerance reduced by the magnitude of the uncertainty.

This will determine the temperature rat
