The evaporative water tank 20 is fixedly installed in the casing 2.

[0037] Specifically, the refrigeration system and the heating system share the same hot and cold air outlet 9. The hot and cold air outlet 9 is located at the top inside the test chamber 1 so that the refrigeration system and the heating system can deliver the required cold or hot air into the test chamber 1 through the hot and cold air outlet 9. The evaporation humidification system's evaporation humidification air outlet 8 is located at the bottom side inside the test chamber 1 so that the evaporation humidification system can deliver the required moisture into the test chamber 1 through the evaporation humidification air outlet 8.

[0038] Specifically, a supplementary light 10 (LED cold light source lighting) is fixedly installed on the top inside the test chamber 1 so as to supplement the light inside the test chamber 1;

[0039] Specifically, the temperature sensors of the refrigeration system and the heating system are fixedly installed inside the test chamber 1;

[0058] Specifically, the filter element structure includes a filter element 17, a support column 18, and a sealing cover 19.
