The Widest Selection of Test Chambers

Regardless of the scale of your testing requirements, ESPEC offers the size

and performance you need, from the world’s smallest humidity chamber to

custom drive-in systems. You can select from over 100 standard models

featured in this catalog, including 18 different benchtop chambers. For larger

or more demanding applications, you can work with us on custom engineered

systems such as Agree, ESS, walk-in, and even integrate other test systems

like shakers.

Details set ESPEC
chambers apart. One
example is our thermal
break designs for cable
ports and doorframes.
They minimize thermal
creep and the potential
for frost or condensation
on the exterior.

ESPEC NORTH AMERICA has been building test chambers in the United States

for over twenty years. We are part of the ESPEC Group, which is the largest

organization solely dedicated to the manufacture of environmental test

systems, allowing us to concentrate on quality construction and innovative

designs. The ESPEC Group includes manufacturing facilities in Japan and

China, as well as sales and service support around the world. Both our

U.S. and Japanese manufacturing operations are ISO-9001 registered.

Designing chambers for enhanced performance
and reliability

ESPEC’s attention to detail shows in our equipment’s eye-pleasing looks.

But more than just beautiful, our equipment is made to be reliable and easy

to use. Standardized subsystems and manufacturing processes assure high

quality and easy maintenance, even for custom-built equipment.

ESPEC is one of the few
companies that manufactures
Highly Accelerated Stress Test
(HAST) chambers, which can
accelerate typical humidity
tests for ICs by a factor of 50.

• To assure high quality, custom components are designed and

manufactured exclusively for ESPEC; we avoid short cuts that can

compromise performance and reliability.

• Our refrigeration systems are engineered with rigid attention to details

that assure optimum performance and easy maintenance.

• ESPEC’s easy-to-use controller systems integrate hardware and exclusive

software that enhance your chamber’s testing capabilities.

• Long-lasting external finishes of stainless steel or high-performance

coatings protect performance and appearance for years to come.

Remarkably simple to use and understand

Imagine walking up to your new chamber and immediately being able to get

your test running. It was revolutionary when computers became easy to use—

now ESPEC does the same for environmental testing. The SCP-220 makes it a

breeze to set up, run, and monitor your chamber, even for the infrequent user.

You won't find a controller from any other chamber manufacturer that's as

easy to use.

Our active-matrix LCD display is easy to check at a glance. The touch-screen

prompts are logical and navigation is easy. When data entry is required, a

numeric or alphanumeric keypad is displayed. With 150 help screens

(including maintenance instructions), you may rarely need to refer to

your manual. Alarm screens diagnose the type of problem and provide

troubleshooting help.

The SCP-220 comes preprogrammed with 10 standard tests, but you can add

20 more. For easy recall, you can store each program with a 16 character

name. Even complex programs with pauses and loops are easy to set. The

display automatically draws your test profile as you enter it, reducing the

chance of programming errors.

For improved performance, an optional product temperature control feature

is available that drives air beyond the temperature set point, speeding recovery

of the product temperature. Also optional are computer interfaces with

downloadable software or LabView drivers for remote control and data-logging.

Platinum

Platinous quality with premium performance
and two larger sizes

Change rates to 15°C/m.

Platinum chambers provide greater performance capabilities, while

incorporating the features of our Platinous line. Two larger sizes, 42 and

60 cubic feet, are available for larger test loads, as well. The refrigeration

systems on most of these models utilize modern, high performance scroll

compressors that allow a small footprint and fast temperature changes,

even with significant test loads.

SH Series

Our smallest temperature and
humidity chambers provide the
performance of larger chambers

The SU and SH series benchtop temperature and

humidity chambers are extremely compact, run on

standard power, and feature an easy-to-fill water

tank. They make it possible for smaller companies

and laboratories to perform environmental testing

without compromises.

The five SH chambers are capable of temperature

and humidity testing, while the corresponding

SU models perform temperature-only testing.

The units come in two interior volumes and three

different temperature ranges, allowing you to

select the model that best suits your applications.

The SH humidity chambers feature a water tank

that is removable for easy filling, so no plumbing

connection is required. The units can operate for

over a week with a single filling of water, and

refilling can be done while a test is still in process.
