Abstract
An environmental testing apparatus includes: a plurality of blower fans that circulate air-conditioned air between an air conditioning chamber and a test chamber; a plurality of temperature sensors that measure temperature at a plurality of locations in the test chamber and output temperature data; and a control unit that can individually set rotation speed of each blower fan. The control unit executes setting processing for setting the rotation speed of each blower fan in a testing period in a setting period before the testing period. In the setting processing, the control unit changes the rotation speed of the plurality of blower fans a plurality of times, and acquires a plurality of temperature data after each change from the plurality of temperature sensors.
Claims11
An environment forming apparatus comprising:
- an environment forming chamber in which an object for which processing is to be executed is accommodated;
- an air conditioning chamber that communicates with the environment forming chamber;
- an air conditioning unit that is disposed in the air conditioning chamber and generates air-conditioned air by adjusting an environmental element of air;
- a plurality of blower fans that circulate the air-conditioned air between the air conditioning chamber and the environment forming chamber;
- a plurality of measurement units that measure the environmental element at a plurality of locations in the environment forming chamber and output a plurality of measurement values;
- and
- a setting unit that is capable of individually setting rotation speed of each blower fan of the plurality of blower fans,
- wherein the setting unit
- changes rotation speed of the plurality of blower fans a plurality of times and acquires the plurality of measurement values after each change in a setting period before a processing period in which the processing is executed, and
- executes setting processing for setting rotation speed of the each blower fan in the processing period based on the plurality of measurement values.
A computer-readable recording medium recording a program for causing a computer to function as a setting unit, the computer that controls an environment forming apparatus including an environment forming chamber in which an object for which processing is to be executed is accommodated, an air conditioning chamber that communicates with the environment forming chamber, an air conditioning unit that is disposed in the air conditioning chamber and generates air-conditioned air by adjusting an environmental element of air, a plurality of blower fans that circulate the air-conditioned air between the air conditioning chamber and the environment forming chamber, and a plurality of measurement units that measure the environmental element at a plurality of locations in the environment forming chamber and output a plurality of measurement values,
- wherein the setting unit
- is capable of individually setting rotation speed of each blower fan of the plurality of blower fans,
- changes rotation speed of the plurality of blower fans a plurality of times and acquires the plurality of measurement values after each change in a setting period before a processing period in which the processing is executed, and
- executes setting processing for setting rotation speed of the each blower fan in the processing period based on the plurality of measurement values having been acquired.
