Temperature Humidity Altitude Chambers

CA-Series Commercial Altitude Chambers

CA-Series Standard Features

Listed below are the standard features that are available on CA-Series test chambers.

Cabinet Features

Access Port
Each environmental chamber includes a 3" access port and plug for ease of cable routing. Additional circular, square, or rectangular ports are also available in a variety of sizes.

Stainless Steel Interior
All liners are constructed from Type 304 brushed stainless steel that is easy to clean. All seams are continuously heliarc welded to form a hermetically sealed unit to prevent moisture migration.

Chamber Exterior
The chamber exterior is constructed of formed sheet steel for structural strength and finished with a durable powder coat finish or textured polyurethane paint. Customer specified paint combinations are available upon request.

Casters (standard of most models)
Casters are provided for ease of mobility around your laboratory. Casters are heavy duty swivel type designed for long life under heavy loading.

Fog-Free Viewing Window & Light
A multi-pane, heated window prevents condensation and allows for product viewing. Interior light illuminates chamber workspace and product.

Instrumentation Features

Touch Screen Controller The CSZ EZT-560i Touch Screen Controller includes unlimited profiling each with 99 steps, looping, product monitor, and data storage.

Refrigeration Features

Refrigeration Pressure Gauges
Allows operating pressures to be continuously monitored and provides early warning indicators in the event of a leak.

Zero Ozone Depletion Refrigerants
CSZ chambers utilize refrigerants which are environmentally safe, non-flammable, non-explosive and have a Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).

Humidity Features

Humidity Demineralizer Water Filter System
Demineralizer removes water impurities and minerals that can harm your chamber. Cartridges will turn orange-brown when used and are easily replaceable.

Electronic Humidity Sensor
CSZ uses an electronic, solid state humidity sensor on all of their humidity chambers. These sensors are highly reliable, accurate, and require minimal maintenance compared to the old wet wick humidity system that requires a lot of maintenance.

CA-Series Optional Accessories

Listed below are the options that are available on CA-Series test chambers.

Cabinet Options

Additional Access Ports
Additional circular, square, or rectangular ports are available in a variety of sizes. Ports may be placed on both sides of the chamber for ease of cable routing.

Shelving
Additional product shelves are available for each CSZ chamber. Custom shelves and fixtures are also available.

Stainless Steel Exterior
If you prefer a chamber with stainless steel exterior, CSZ can include this as an option on any chamber you request.

Instrumentation Options

Automatic Altitude Control
Control valve enhances altitude control stability at various setpoints.

Windows-Based Software Package
CSZ EZ-Viewsoftware is available for monitoring and controlling up to 20 chambers from any location.

IEEE-488 Computer Interface
A parallel interface can be provided for interface with IEEE-488 parallel instrument control buss. A standard IEEE-488 connector is provided for easy connection to adjacent test equipment.

Chart Recorders
A selection of one or two pen chart recorders are available with a variety of pre-printed charts or self printing thermal charts.

Running Time Meter
The optional run time meter includes a non-resettable display which will accumulate the system running time for routine maintenance and planning purposes.

Main Power Disconnect
Provides an additional level of safety by shutting down the main power to the chamber prior to maintenance or repair.

Performance & Refrigeration Options

CO2/LN2 Boost Cooling
Boost cooling is available for applications that require a fast pulldown rate.

Dry Air Purge System
A dry air purge system can be provided to reduce condensation within the chamber and on the test item during temperature cycling testing. This option is primarily used to prevent short circuits in electronic components and is also used for low humidity requirements.

Remote Refrigeration
Allows the refrigeration system to be located approximately 50 feet away from the chamber. This option is commonly used for labs with space restrictions or to minimize noise levels.

Refrigeration Sound Deadening
Although CSZ chambers are quiet operating, sound foam is available as an option to further reduce the noise generated by the refrigeration system. This option is commonly used in larger chambers.

Humidity Options

*Recirculating Humidity Water Supply
For customers that do not have a dionized water supply, CSZ provides a recirculating water system that collects condensate from the chamber, filters it, and stores it in a reservoir for reuse.

Low Relative Humidity
For tests requiring humidity levels below 10% RH, CSZ provides an optional low humidity system for testing down to 5% RH.

Spare Water Demineralizer Cartridges
Additional demineralizer cartridges are available for overnight delivery. Cartridges will turn orange-brown when used and are easily replaceable.
