FAQs About Reach-In Chambers from ESPEC

What are the differences between your reach-in chamber series?

• Platinous Chambers: Our most popular, general-use reach-in series.

• Global-N Chambers: Equipped with larger heating and cooling systems for faster change rates and larger test loads, including higher heat generation from running test products.

• Platinum Chambers: Larger chambers offering a full range of performance choices.

• Agree Chambers: Custom-built to meet exact needs, particularly used for combining with an electrodynamic vibration system.

How do I determine the right size reach-in chamber for my needs?

ESPEC recommends allowing one-third spacing of the product from the chamber walls to ensure sufficient airflow. Single large test samples should have additional allowance.

Can reach-in chambers be integrated with other testing equipment?

Integration of standard models with external test equipment may require special modifications such as access ports or special doors. ESPEC regularly handles such modifications to meet our customers' needs.

Do you offer installation and calibration services for reach-in chambers?

ESPEC provides a free “remote start-up” process to help you begin testing immediately. For higher performance systems, we recommend having our technician on-site. We are certified for 17025 calibrations, which can be performed during an on-site start-up.

What are the maintenance requirements for your reach-in chambers?

• Humidity Chambers: Extra effort should be made to keep the chamber and humidity equipment clean, especially the humidifier, which can build up minerals.

• Temperature-only Chambers: These should also be kept clean.

General maintenance includes safety checks, cleaning of the air-cooled condenser, and regular changing of the humidity wet-bulb wick if your system has one.

Can custom features be added to reach-in chambers?

Yes, typical customizations for our reach-in chambers include:

• Heavy-duty shelves or system reinforcement for heavy loads

• Custom size chambers (except Platinous), usually expanded in one direction

• Additional windows for special viewing or cameras

If you have specific customization needs, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
