AR Series High Performance Environmental Test Chambers with Wide Temperature & Humidity Control Ranges

When it comes to environmental test chambers, ESPEC stands for quality and reliability. The AR Series Environmental Test Chambers, in particular, are engineered to exceed expectations, offering unmatched consistency and precision which have earned ESPEC a solid reputation globally. They are designed for performance that meets the rigorous demands of many testing environments.

The AR Series Environmental Test Chambers offer fast temperature cycling and extensive control over both temperature and humidity. When a product or specimen is tested, it can generate its own heat & moisture. In this instance the chambers will automatically adjust to maintain the correct test parameters, changing temperature and humidity as required.

 

When you choose ESPEC’s AR Series Test Chambers, you’re not just investing in a product with superior performance, you’re investing in peace of mind. ESPEC offers a comprehensive 3-year warranty on all parts and materials, showcasing their unwavering faith in the quality and reliability of their chambers.  With ESPEC, your confidence is a priority.

Select the ideal model from the AR Series to meet your specific capacity and performance needs. 32 models are available, offering temperature ranges from -70°C to +180°C and humidity levels from 10% to 98% RH, with change rates between 5K/min and 18K/min.

Fast rate temperature and humidity stabliisation time 

The AR series environmental testing chambers achieve fast temperature and humidity stabilisation by minimising fluctuations as the chamber approaches the set-point (during testing from room temperature to 85°C/85% RH). The test chambers use a specimen temperature control sensor to monitor and control the temperature of the object under test and the uniform temperature distribution minimises variations in test results to provide precise and accurate testing.

Save Energy with the Eco-Operation function 

The new eco-operation function can reduce power consumption by up to 85% during temperature and humidity tests at 85°C/85% RH.

  • Compatible with existing products – by changing software.
  • Compatible with AR Series
    *Not compatible with rapid-rate temperature cycle type ARGF/ARSF Series 

Remote monitoring and control via an advanced web application

No software is needed to remotely monitor the cabinets. An innovative web browser application enables monitoring and control of the chamber via a mobile PC, tablet, or smartphone using the chamber’s standard Ethernet/LAN port. Multiple chambers can be connected wirelessly, ensuring control is always maintained.

Email alert
When an alarm is triggered, an e-mail is sent to the registered PC or mobile address. Notifications can also be sent upon test completion.

Copy your test programs, output data on USB memory
No PC is needed to copy and transfer your test profiles from one chamber to another. You can also download temperature and humidity data from the chamber for editing on your PC.

 

Supports heat loads up to 4500W during temperature testing

The AR Chambers support powered specimens and can handle up to 4500W of heat load during temperature testing. They conform to ISO12100 and IEC standards (60204, 61000, EN50581) and meet CE marking requirements based on EU directives, including the Low Voltage Directive, EMC Directive, Machinery Directive, Pressure Equipment Directive, and RoHS Directive.
