When the Constant Temperature And Humidity Test Chamber is not used for a long time, the correct storage method is essential to maintain the performance of the equipment and extend its service life.
1. Cleaning and Drying
Before storing the test chamber, it should be thoroughly cleaned. Use a clean damp cloth to wipe the outside and inside of the test chamber to remove dust, dirt and residual samples. Pay special attention to cleaning the sensors, vents and drain holes of the test chamber to ensure that they are not blocked. After cleaning, let the test chamber dry fully. You can open the door and vents to allow air circulation to accelerate the drying process. If the inside of the test chamber is damp, it may cause mold growth and equipment damage.
2. Power off and protection
Disconnect the power supply of the test chamber to prevent accidents. At the same time, you can consider installing a protective cover at the power plug to prevent dust and moisture from entering. If the test chamber is equipped with removable parts, such as sample racks, trays, etc., they should be removed and stored separately. For some vulnerable parts, such as sensors, controllers, etc., they can be wrapped with foam plastics or other soft materials to prevent collisions and damage during storage.
3. Environmental requirements
Choosing a suitable storage environment is very important for the long-term storage of the Constant Temperature And Humidity Test Chamber. The storage environment should be dry, well ventilated, and avoid direct sunlight and humidity. The temperature should be kept within a suitable range. Generally speaking, 5℃ to 35℃ is a more suitable storage temperature. At the same time, to avoid vibration and collision of the test chamber, it can be placed on a stable ground and fixed with a fixture. If there are corrosive gases or chemicals in the storage environment, appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as using sealed bags or containers for storage.
4. Regular inspection
During storage, the test chamber should be inspected regularly. The door of the chamber can be opened every few months to check the internal conditions of the equipment to see if there is mold growth, component damage or other abnormal conditions. If problems are found, they should be dealt with in time. At the same time, the test chamber can be powered on and run for a period of time to check whether the performance of the equipment is normal. In this way, problems can be discovered and repaired in time to avoid failures during the next use.
In short, the correct storage method can effectively protect the Constant Temperature And Humidity Test Chamber so that it can still maintain good performance when it is not used for a long time. During storage, attention should be paid to cleaning, drying, power off, selection of a suitable storage environment and regular inspections to ensure the safety and reliability of the equipment.
