Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test chamber technology, and in particular to a low-pressure humidity test chamber. Background Technology
[0002] Low-pressure humidity test chambers provide a comprehensive low-pressure temperature and humidity testing environment for product reliability testing. During product testing, the interior of the test chamber must always be kept at a low pressure, so the vacuum pump must run continuously to evacuate the test chamber. However, due to the high humidity in the low-pressure humid environment, water vapor in the air enters the vacuum pump and mixes with the pump oil, causing the pump oil to emulsify, reducing the lubrication and sealing performance of the pump oil, thereby increasing pump wear and shortening the pump's service life. Existing technologies generally use water ring vacuum pumps, but these vacuum pumps are noisy and occupy a large area. Some technologies add a drying filter at the vacuum pump input end, but the drying filter needs to be replaced frequently, resulting in a short service life and frequent replacement, leading to high maintenance costs.

At the same time, the internal temperature of the separation tank 311 is reduced by the cooling pipe 3111, which promotes the condensation of water vapor.

[0023] Working principle: When using this invention, start the vacuum pump 3, the first solenoid valve 32, the refrigeration pipe 3111, the humidifier 4, and the third solenoid valve 41. The moisture generated by the humidifier 4 is sent into the second pressure-bearing housing 13 through the moisture delivery pipe 42. The air in the second pressure-bearing housing 13 enters the air inlet pipe 314 through the vacuum pipe 36. Due to the obstruction of the reversing plate 315 and the reversing pipe 316, a swirling flow is formed in the separation tank 311. The water vapor in the air is thrown towards the tank wall of the separation tank 311 under the action of centrifugal force, flows along the tank wall into the first drain pipe 312, and enters the water collection tank 33 through the first solenoid valve 32. In the receiving cavity 3110, the refrigeration pipe 3111 refrigerates... At the bottom, the separator 311 is in a low-temperature state, which promotes the condensation of water vapor into large droplets, improving the separation efficiency. Air enters the air outlet 317 and is sent into the space at the top of the reversing plate 315 through the gap between the first baffle 318 and the second baffle 319. Then, it enters the vacuum pump 3 through the air outlet pipe 313 and is discharged from the second housing 16 by the vacuum pump 3. When the water level in the water collection tank 33 reaches the set value, the first solenoid valve 32 closes and the second solenoid valve 34 opens, so that the water in the water collection tank 33 is discharged from the second housing 16 through the second drain pipe 35. Then, the second solenoid valve 34 closes and the first solenoid valve 32 opens, and the water collection tank 33 continues to collect water. Among them, the refrigeration pipe 31 11 can employ either evaporator 62 or water-cooled refrigeration. Both evaporator 62 refrigeration and water-cooled refrigeration are existing technologies, so their refrigeration principles will not be elaborated further. The first pressure-bearing housing 11 and the second pressure-bearing housing 13 are used to improve the pressure-bearing capacity of the first housing 1. The door 14 is used to seal the first housing 1. The insulation layer 12 is used for insulation. The observation window 15 is used to facilitate observation of the interior of the second pressure-bearing housing 13. The second housing 16 is the equipment room. The control panel 2 is used to control the operation of the equipment. The motor 5 is used to drive the rotating shaft 51. The rotating shaft 51 drives the impeller 52. The impeller 52 is used to push the air flow inside the second pressure-bearing housing 13 to form a circulating airflow. The air inside the second pressure-bearing housing 13 is mixed evenly. The refrigerant inside the evaporator 62 evaporates under low pressure, absorbing heat from the surrounding air, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the inside of the second pressure-bearing housing 13. After evaporation, the refrigerant changes from liquid to gas. The compressor 6 draws in the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant from the evaporator 62 and compresses it, increasing its pressure and temperature, turning it into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant. This creates conditions for the liquefaction of the refrigerant in the condenser 61. The condenser 61 is used for heat dissipation of the refrigerant, the heat dissipation port 17 is used for ventilation and heat dissipation of the condenser 61, and the heater 7 is used to heat the inside of the second pressure-bearing housing 13.
