According to incomplete statistics, a standard volume (1~5m 3 ) The annual power consumption of a humidity test chamber can reach thousands of kilowatt-hours (usually 3000-8000kWh).

[0003] However, the current market lacks a unified, accurate, and scientific method for evaluating the energy efficiency of humidity and heat test chambers. Existing testing methods often only measure the chamber's power consumption and volume ratio, failing to comprehensively evaluate the chamber's energy conversion efficiency based on the test conditions specified in national standards. This makes it difficult for users to directly determine the chamber's energy efficiency level, hindering their ability to make informed decisions during equipment procurement and use.

Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments recorded in the present invention.

[0035] Figure 1 1 is a flow chart of the energy efficiency evaluation method of the damp heat test chamber of the present invention;

[0036] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of temperature and humidity changes in various working stages of the alternating wet heat cycle of the test chamber of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention will be more fully understood through the following detailed description, which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it should be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the present invention, which can be embodied in various forms. Therefore, the specific functional details disclosed herein should not be construed as limiting, but rather as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching those skilled in the art to employ the present invention in various ways in virtually any appropriately detailed embodiment.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses a method for evaluating the energy efficiency of a damp heat test chamber, which is used to accurately evaluate the energy conversion efficiency of the damp heat test chamber in a simulated alternating damp heat environment. The method specifically includes the following steps:

[0039] S1, setting a test chamber to perform a test condition of an alternating damp heat cycle, wherein the test condition includes multiple working stages in the alternating damp heat cycle and temperature and humidity change parameters of each working stage.

[0040] Specifically, during implementation, multiple operating stages of the humidity-alternating cycle test in the test chamber are set, along with temperature and humidity variation parameters for each operating stage. These temperature and humidity variation parameters include at least a set temperature value, a set humidity value, and the duration of each stage. In one embodiment, a humidity-alternating cycle in the test chamber is divided into five consecutive operating stages: a preconditioning stage, a temperature rise stage, a high-temperature constant temperature stage, a temperature drop stage, and a low-temperature constant temperature stage.

[0041] Among them, the temperature and humidity change parameters of the pretreatment stage are set as follows: the temperature is 25℃±3K and the humidity is 50% RH, and the temperature is humidified to 25℃±3K and 95% RH. Specifically, the pretreatment stage is divided into two stages, namely the heating or cooling stage and the humidification stage. Among them, the temperature change parameter of the heating or cooling stage is: the temperature reaches 25℃±3K and the time does not exceed 1 hour; the humidity change parameter of the humidification stage is: the humidity reaches between 95%RH and 100%RH and the time does not exceed 1 hour. It should be noted that the initial state point of this stage is the temperature of 25℃±3K and the humidity of 50%RH.

[0042] The temperature and humidity change parameters during the heating stage are set as follows: the temperature is raised from 25℃±3K to 55℃±2K within 3h±30min, the humidity is not less than 95%RH, and cannot be less than 90%RH in the last 15min.

[0043] The temperature and humidity change parameters of the high-temperature constant temperature stage are set as follows: the temperature is maintained within 55℃±2K until the end of 12h+30min from the start of the cycle, and within the first 15min of this stage, the humidity is reduced to 90%RH by dehumidification, and within the last 15min, the humidity is increased to 95%RH by humidification. The humidity is not less than 90%RH at other times.

[0044] The temperature and humidity change parameters in the cooling stage are set as follows: the temperature is reduced from 55℃±2K to 25℃±3K within 3h to 6h, and the humidity is maintained at no less than 95%RH.

[0045] The temperature and humidity change parameters of the low-temperature constant temperature stage are set as follows: maintaining the temperature at 25°C ± 3K and the humidity not less than 95% RH until the cycle (if one cycle is 24 hours, that is, until the 24-hour cycle) is completed.

[0046] In addition, test samples should be representative of electrical and electronic products. Their size, properties, and electrical load must meet standard requirements and not significantly affect the temperature and humidity conditions within the test chamber. Test samples include, but are not limited to, integrated circuit chips, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and automotive engine control units (ECUs). Alternatively, the test chamber can be empty, meaning no test samples are placed in it.

[0047] S2: Place the test sample in the test chamber or leave it empty and start the test chamber. The test chamber will be subjected to alternating damp heat cycle test according to the above test conditions.

[0048] Specifically, during this process, a heating device or cooling device and a humidifier are used to heat or cool and humidify the air in the test chamber, respectively, to achieve the temperature and humidity test conditions set in step S1. The heating device or cooling device directly heats or cools the air in the test chamber, while the humidifier humidifies the air in the test chamber using water vaporization humidification. The power consumption of heating the water is not considered, only the power consumption of the latent heat of water vaporization is considered.

[0049] S3. After the test, the actual power consumption of each working stage of the test chamber and the theoretical energy calculated from the temperature and humidity data, as well as the actual total power consumption and the theoretical total energy of the test chamber are obtained. The stability weighted energy efficiency index of each working stage of the test chamber is calculated from the actual power consumption and theoretical energy of each working stage, and the total stability weighted energy efficiency index of the test chamber is calculated from the theoretical total energy and the actual total power consumption.

[0050] Specifically, in step S3, the process of obtaining the actual total power consumption of the test chamber includes: using power monitoring equipment to collect the actual power consumption data of each working stage in real time, and using data acquisition equipment to record them synchronously, and after the test completes a 24-hour cycle, deriving and sorting the actual power consumption data of each stage from the data acquisition equipment, and calculating the actual total power consumption by the sum of the actual power consumption of each stage. For example, in the above-mentioned specific embodiment, an alternating wet heat cycle is divided into 5 working stages, excluding the pretreatment stage. In this step, the actual power consumption of the 4 working stages can be obtained. For example, the actual power consumption of the heating stage is defined as E2, the actual power consumption of the high temperature constant temperature stage is defined as E3, the actual power consumption of the cooling stage is defined as E4, and the actual power consumption of the low temperature constant temperature stage is defined as E5. The actual total power consumption is Etotal, then Etotal = E2+E3+E4+E5.

[0051] In step S3, the calculation method of the theoretical energy of the test chamber includes the enthalpy difference method, the ideal gas state equation method or the entropy increase method. The process of calculating the theoretical total energy of the test chamber using the enthalpy method includes: calculating the unit wet air enthalpy change Δh in the adjacent time intervals of each working stage, and then calculating it with the initial and final average air mass m of each working stage to obtain the overall wet air enthalpy change Q in the adjacent time intervals of each working stage, and calculating the theoretical total energy by the sum of the overall wet air enthalpy change Q in the adjacent time intervals of each working stage.

[0052] Among them, the calculation formula for the change in the total wet air enthalpy value Q at the i-th moment in a certain working stage is:

[0053] Q i =Δh i m=Δh i ·ρ·V=Δh i ·(ρ i,1 +ρ i,2 ) / 2·V;

[0054] Where Δh i is the change in enthalpy of unit moist air at the i-th moment in a certain stage, in kJ / kg, m is the air mass, in kg, and ρ is the density of moist air, in kg / m 3 , V is the volume of the test chamber, in m 3 ,ρ i,1 is the density of moist air at the initial state point of a certain stage, ρ i,2 is the density of moist air at the final state point of a certain stage;

[0055] The change in unit wet air enthalpy at the i-th moment in the certain stage Δh i The calculation formula is:

[0056] Δh i =h i -h i-1 ;

[0057] Among them, h i is the unit enthalpy of moist air at the state point at the i-th moment in a certain stage, h i-1 is the unit moist air enthalpy value at the i-1th moment in a certain stage;

[0058] The unit enthalpy of moist air at the state point at time i in a certain stage h i The calculation formula is: i =1.005t i +0.001d i (2500+1.84t i );

[0059] Among them, t i is the temperature of the state point at the i-th moment in a certain stage, in °C; di is the moisture content of the state point at the i-th moment in a certain stage, in g / kg;

[0060] The unit enthalpy of moist air at the state point at time i-1 in a certain stage h i-1 The calculation formula is: i-1 =1.005t i-1 +0.001d i-1 (2500+1.84t i-1 );

[0061] Among them, t i-1is the temperature of the state point at the i-1th moment in a certain stage, in °C, d i-1 It is the moisture content at the i-1th moment in a certain stage, in g / kg.

[0062] As in the above specific embodiment, an alternating wet heat cycle is divided into 5 working stages, excluding the pretreatment stage. In this step, according to the above calculation process, the total wet air enthalpy value change Q of the 4 working stages can be calculated in sequence. For example, the calculated total wet air enthalpy value change in the heating stage is defined as Q2, the total wet air enthalpy value change in the high temperature constant temperature stage is defined as Q3, the total wet air enthalpy value change in the cooling stage is defined as Q4, and the total wet air enthalpy value change in the low temperature constant temperature stage is defined as Q5. The theoretical total power consumption is Qtotal, which is the integral of the absolute value of the enthalpy difference within the cycle or the accumulation of the average fluctuation amplitude, such as Where i represents the time, n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, Qi represents the theoretical total energy calculated at the current time, Q i-1 Represents the theoretical total energy calculated at the previous moment.

[0063] The above parameters, such as the volume V of the test chamber, are obtained by measuring the internal dimensions of the test chamber. In addition, according to the set temperature and humidity requirements, the wet air density ρ, moisture content d and air mass m under various temperature and humidity conditions can be obtained by consulting the psychrometric chart.

[0064] Finally, the total stability-weighted energy efficiency index (SWEI) of the test chamber can be calculated using the following formula: the theoretical total energy Qtotal and the actual total power consumption Etotal obtained above are substituted into the following stability-weighted energy efficiency index formula:

[0065]

[0066] Among them, SWEI is the stability weighted energy efficiency index, a dimensionless index; K is a normalization constant, which is 1 and the unit is kJ·kWh; E 总 The actual total power consumption of the test chamber in a certain working stage, in kWh; Q 总 The theoretical total energy calculated for the test chamber at the same working stage, in kJ.

[0067] According to the calculation results, the energy efficiency level of the test chamber can be evaluated. The present invention adopts the stability weighted energy efficiency index (SWEI) to simultaneously reflect the control stability and energy efficiency of the test chamber, and intuitively reflect the energy efficiency level of the test chamber. If the SWEI is low, the energy consumption data of each stage is analyzed to find out the reasons for the high energy consumption, such as poor thermal insulation performance, low efficiency of the heating or cooling system, or optimization of the control algorithm to reduce the total Q, etc., to provide direction for subsequent improvements. The larger the SWEI value, the higher the energy efficiency level of the test chamber, and the stronger the ability of the test chamber to convert electrical energy into effective energy to achieve temperature and humidity changes.

[0068] Of course, it is also possible to calculate the stability-weighted energy efficiency index for each operating phase. This index is calculated based on the ratio of the theoretical energy Q to the actual power consumption E for each phase. The stability-weighted energy efficiency index for each phase can be used to measure the ability of a factory-produced test chamber to change temperature and humidity during each operating phase.

[0069] Of course, in addition to measuring the overall energy efficiency level of the test chamber and the energy efficiency level of each stage, the following capabilities of the test chamber can also be evaluated: cooling capacity, heating capacity, insulation capacity, dehumidification capacity, humidification capacity (electrical energy is converted into latent heat of vaporization of water), the ability of the equipment to adjust the temperature and humidity parameters quickly, and the ability to evaluate the stability of the equipment based on the temperature and humidity curve and temperature and humidity offset.

[0070] The following is a specific embodiment to illustrate the specific process of the energy efficiency evaluation method of the damp heat test chamber provided by the present invention.

[0071] Note: This embodiment uses four stages as examples. The calculation method is the same if the previous and next moments are considered.

[0072] First, a test chamber is provided. The chamber has a volume of V and is adiabatic, meaning there is no heat exchange with the outside world. The pressure inside the chamber, P, is constant at 1 standard atmosphere (i.e., P = 101325 Pa). The air inside the chamber is treated to change the temperature and humidity. The chamber is then maintained in a stable state under certain conditions (i.e., the entire process is under ideal conditions, ignoring energy losses). This is divided into five stages, combined with Figure 2 As shown:

[0073] Pretreatment stage: temperature is 25℃, humidity is 50%RH, humidification to 25℃, humidity is 95%RH.

[0074] Heating stage: The initial temperature and humidity are 25℃ and 95% RH respectively. The temperature is raised to 55℃ and the humidity is maintained at 95% RH. It takes 3h±30min.

[0075] High temperature constant temperature stage: the temperature is maintained at 55°C and the humidity is 90% RH, and is constant for 9 hours.

[0076] Cooling stage: The initial temperature and humidity are 55°C and 95% RH, and the temperature is lowered to 25°C and the humidity is maintained at 95% RH, which takes 3h to 6h.

[0077] Low temperature constant temperature stage: the temperature is maintained at 25 ° C and the humidity is maintained at 95% RH for 6 hours.

[0078] Except for the pretreatment stage, the theoretical total wet air enthalpy change Q of each stage is calculated through the above calculation process.

[0079] 1. Preprocessing stage:

[0080] The initial state point parameter values ​​of this stage are: t1 = 25°C, d1=9.88g / kg, ρ1=1.172kg / m 3 , m1=ρ1V=1.172Vkg. Here is the humidity at the initial state point of this stage.

[0081] The final state point of this stage has the following parameter values: t2 = 25°C, d2=19.05g / kg, ρ2=1.166kg / m 3 , m2=ρ2V=1.166Vkg. Here is the humidity at the final state point of this stage.

[0082] Since the room temperature during this stage is unknown, the power consumption during this stage is not calculated.

[0083] 2. Heating stage:

[0084] The initial state point parameter values ​​of this stage are: t1 = 25°C, d1=19.05g / kg, ρ1=1.166kg / m 3 , m1=ρ1V=1.166Vkg.

[0085] The final state point of this stage has the following parameter values: t2 = 55°C, d2=107.83g / kg, ρ2=1.011kg / m 3 , m2=ρ2V=1.011Vkg.

[0086] Then the unit wet air enthalpy value h1 at the initial state point of this stage is:

[0087] h1=1.005t1+0.001d1(2500+1.84t1)=1.005×25+0.001×19.05(2500+1.84×25)=73.626kJ / kg.

[0088] The unit moist air enthalpy value h2 at the final state point of this stage is:

[0089] h2=1.005t2+0.001d2(2500+1.84t2)=1.005×55+0.001×107.83(2500+1.84×55)

[0090] =335.762kJ / kg.

[0091] The change in unit enthalpy of wet air Δh during this stage is:

[0092] Δh=h2-h1=262.136kJ / kg.

[0093] Therefore, the total wet air enthalpy change Q2 in this stage is:

[0094] Q2=m·Δh=(ρ1+ρ2) / 2·V·Δh=(1.166+1.011)V / 2×262.136=285.335VkJ.

[0095] 3. High temperature constant temperature stage:

[0096] This stage is divided into three stages: dehumidification stage, constant temperature stage and humidification stage;

[0097] The dehumidification stage is within the first 15 minutes of this stage, and the initial state point parameter values ​​are: t1 = 55 ° C, d1=107.83g / kg, ρ1=1.011kg / m 3 , m1=ρ1V=1.011Vkg.

[0098] The final state point of this stage has the following parameter values: t2 = 55°C, d2=101.23g / kg, ρ2=1.014kg / m 3 , m2=ρ2V=1.014Vkg.

[0099] Then the change in unit enthalpy of wet air Δh in this stage is:

[0100] Δh=h2-h1=0.001(2500+1.84t)×(d2-d1)=0.001(2500+1.84×55)×|101.23-107.83|=17.168kJ / kg.

[0101] Therefore, the total enthalpy change of wet air in this stage is Q1′:

[0102] Q1′=m·Δh=(ρ1+ρ2) / 2·V·Δh=(1.014+1.011)V / 2×17.168k=17.382VkJ.

[0103] The constant temperature stage is a 3-hour constant temperature stage in the middle of this stage. This process does not consume energy in the theoretical calculation stage, that is, Q=0.

[0104] The humidification stage is the last 15 minutes of this stage, and the initial state point parameter values ​​are: t1 = 55 ° C, d1=101.23g / kg, ρ1=1.014kg / m 3 , m1=ρ1V=1.014Vkg.

[0105] The final state point of this stage has the following parameter values: t2 = 55°C, d2=107.83gg / kg, ρ2=1.011kg / m 3 , m2=ρ2V=1.011Vkg.

[0106] Then the change in unit enthalpy of wet air Δh in this stage is:

[0107] Δh=h2-h1=0.001(2500+1.84t)×(d2-d1)=0.001(2500+1.84×55)×107.83-101.23=17.168kJ / kg.

[0108] Therefore, the total wet air enthalpy change Q2' in this stage is:

[0109] Q2′=m·Δh=(ρ1+ρ2) / 2·V·Δh=(1.014+1.011)V / 2×17.168k=17.382VkJ.

[0110] Therefore, the total enthalpy change of wet air in the high temperature constant temperature stage is Q3 = Q1' + Q2' = 34.764 VkJ.

[0111] 4. Cooling stage:

[0112] The initial state point parameter values ​​of this stage are: h = 55 ° C, d1=107.83g / kg, ρ1=1.011kg / m 3 , m1=ρ1V=1.011Vkg.

[0113] The final state point of this stage has the following parameter values: t2 = 25°C, d2=19.05g / kg, ρ2=1.166kg / m 3 , m2=ρ2V=1.166Vkg.

[0114] Then the unit wet air enthalpy value h1 at the initial state point of this stage is:

[0115] h1=1.005t1+0.001d1(2500+1.84t1)=1.005×55+0.001×107.83(2500+1.84×55)

[0116] =335.762kJ / kg.

[0117] The unit moist air enthalpy value h2 at the final state point of this stage is:

[0118] h2=1.005t2+0.001d2(2500+1.84t2)=1.005×25+0.001×19.05(2500+1.84×25)=73.626kJ / kg.

[0119] The change in unit enthalpy of wet air Δh during this stage is:

[0120] Δh=|h2-h1|=262.136kJ / kg.

[0121] Therefore, the total wet air enthalpy change Q4 in this stage is:

[0122] Q4=m·Δh=(ρ1+ρ2) / 2·V·Δh=(1.166+1.011)V / 2×262.136=285.335VkJ.

[0123] 5. Low temperature constant temperature stage:

[0124] It should be noted that in theoretical calculations, the energy loss of the test chamber to the outside world is not considered, so the test chamber does not consume energy when maintaining a stable state. Therefore, the theoretical calculation is not related to time, and the energy consumption comes entirely from the changes in temperature and humidity inside the test chamber.

[0125] Therefore, in this stage, since the entire process is in an adiabatic state, no energy is consumed, that is, Q5=0.

[0126] Therefore, in this embodiment, the theoretical total power consumption Qtotal=Q2+Q3+Q4+Q5=285.335+34.764+285.335+0=605.434 VkJ.

[0127] Of course, there are many ways to calculate theoretical power consumption. In addition to the above-mentioned enthalpy difference method, two other methods are listed below: the ideal gas state equation method and the entropy increase method.
