Chamber Diagram Deionized (DI) Water Recirculation System* To produce condensation, a heated reservoir in the bottom of the test chamber produces water vapor that rises to the upper chamber where specimens will be exposed to UV radiation and uniform wetting at 100% relative humidity. Optional system allows DI water to be recirculated for re-use during testing. This helps laboratories reduce water consumption; especially critical when adequate DI water supply is not available. The system has a 53 liter storage tank, deionized water filter and a pressure activated pump. It fits conveniently on...
