Abstract
Test chamber 4 is the main work area wherein all the control parameters, e.g., pressure and temperature, are controlled as per the defined parameters. Non-pneumatic pressurizer 100 may operate as a high pressure pumping unit with forward and backward pressure regulation, works with PLC 140 and uses feedback from a pair of pressure transducers 130,132 to control pressurization and de-pressurization rate as per the defined parameters and also regulates pressure inside test chamber 4 corresponding to heat generated inside test chamber 4 because of heat generated from test equipment.
Claims11
1) A combined pressure/temperature tester, comprising:
- a) a testing chamber comprising a plurality of fluid inputs and a plurality of fluid outputs.
- b) a slip-on heat exchanger configured to fit about a predetermined outer surface of the testing chamber, the heat exchanger operative to maintain a predetermined pressure and heat within the testing chamber;
- c) an electric circulating fan disposed within the test chamber to provide flow (turbulence) inside chamber's pressurized fluid to increase heat transfer rate and evenly distributed heating and/or cooling;
- d) an electrical interface operatively connected to the electric circulating fan;
- and
- e) an insulator configured to fit about a predetermined outer surface of the slip-on heat exchanger.
