EWS chambers are solid, one-piece construction, using fiberglass insulation and an angle-iron frame. The stainless steel interior liner is reinforced and continuously welded, including leak-testing for integrity.

  • Temperature range up to 150°C
  • Temperature-cycling faster than 10°C/min.
  • Capabable of long-term 85°/85% tests

(Conventional chambers, like our EWP models, are built using panels with foam insulation that cannot withstand higher temperatures and are more susceptible to leaks at the seams under extreme conditions, such as fast temperature cycling.)

The angle-iron frame provides enough structural strength to allow a full-opening door for easy loading of large arrays without restriction. A full-opening door can also allow floor-space saving over panel chambers.

Note: Actual change rate capability is determined by selection of heating/cooling system based on your requirement.

Easy-to-use Programmer

In addition, the P-300 touch-screen controller makes running an ESPEC environmental test chamber a breeze. The full-color, touch-screen interface is remarkably easy to use and understand. The P-300 Touch Screen Controller can be managed remotely via our Ethernet/LAN-based Web Controller, serial port, or GP-IB/LabView.

New P-300 controller with USB

The exclusive ESPEC P-300 controller has USB and Ethernet features to make programming and data collection easier than before. The user interface uses tabs for faster access to any screen. Standard USB and optional Web Controller/Ethernet interfaces make programming and data acquisition much simpler. In addition, improved algorithms make operation faster and smoother.

DEMO: See how easy the P-300 is

USB port for upload/download of test profiles and test data

  • Test programs can uploaded or downloaded from the P-300 via USB thumb drive.
  • Create, edit, and store programs on a PC using the included Pattern Manager Lite software.
  • Accurate, repeatable testing by uploading the same program to multiple chambers.
  • Create your own back-up archive of programs, and get additional profiles from ESPEC's library.
  • Retrieve and download test operation data via USB thumb drive. Data timeframe is selectable.
  • For integrity, viewing test data on a PC and exporting to Excel requires included Pattern Manager Lite software.

Energy-saving operation

Invisible to the end user, the P-300 uses advanced cooling control via an electronic expansion valve, saving energy and improving temperature stability. Sophisticated future-looking algorithms make temperature ramping faster and smoother. These high-end features are unique to ESPEC. Additional improvements in refrigeration and heater operation will make the next generation of ESPEC chambers the most energy efficient ever.

Additional capabilities

  • Store up to forty programs, as well as three different constant-mode set-ups.
  • Multilingual display in English, Japanese, Chinese, or Korean.
  • Alarm diagnostics and history, plus a ‘back trace’ feature for troubleshooting.
  • Three programmable timers allow the user to set reminders for maintenance or other actions.
  • Energy saving by using only one compressor when testing above -10°C (for cascade refrigeration models).
  • Optional Ethernet/browser-based Web Controller access can also be used to upload and download programs, as well as data.
  • Optional Product Temperature Control allows faster ramping to the desired conditions on the sample.
  • Computer interface options for specialized programs: RS-232/serial or GP-IB.
