Specialized Systems Highly Accelerated Stress Test HAST chambers reduce the time it takes to complete humidity testing for semiconductors. By elevating temperatures above 100°C and increasing the pressure, simulation of normal humidity tests can be made while maintaining the same failure mechanisms. Tests can be completed in days, not weeks, compared to traditional 85°C/85%. Chambers for Solar Panel Testing Photovoltaic solar panels need to pass strict test standards to ensure their long-term effectiveness. ESPEC solar panel test chambers are sized to fit common module sizes, as well as providing...

Special Requirements Rain Simulation ESPEC’s rain/spray test systems have multiple possible features, depending on the type of tests required, such as shower or light-spray, temperature and humidity conditioning, hot/cold water spray, and car wash simulation. Rotating spray heads and tables ensure full exposure. For situations where the test sample cannot be placed in a chamber, our Environmentally Conditioned Air (ECA) systems can circulate conditioned air to a remotely located test fixture. In some cases this is accomplished by modifying a Platinous or Global-N chamber, becoming a dual-purpose...
