Customized SS304 Ozone Aging Test Chamber For Textiles Industry

1. Product Name and Purpose

2. Product Features

• Robust and Sealed Chamber Construction
  • The chamber is constructed with a heavy-duty stainless steel frame and walls, ensuring outstanding durability and resistance to corrosion. The stainless steel construction not only withstands the corrosive nature of ozone but also guarantees a long service life. The chamber is hermetically sealed using top-notch gaskets and advanced sealing technologies, preventing any leakage of ozone and maintaining a consistent and accurate test environment. The door is designed with a reliable locking mechanism and a pressure-assisted seal, ensuring a tight closure and minimizing the risk of external contaminants interfering with the test. The interior surfaces are smooth and easy to clean, facilitating effortless sample handling and preventing any residue from affecting the test results.
• Precision Ozone Generation and Concentration Control System
  • The heart of this chamber lies in its advanced ozone generation and control system. It is capable of producing ozone with remarkable precision and stability. The concentration of ozone can be accurately adjusted within a wide range, typically from 5 parts per million (ppm) to 500 ppm, allowing for the simulation of diverse real-world ozone levels. The system utilizes state-of-the-art ozone generators and highly sensitive sensors. These sensors continuously monitor the ozone concentration inside the chamber and provide real-time feedback to the control unit. The control unit, in turn, modulates the ozone generation rate to maintain the desired concentration level with an accuracy of ±3% of the set value. This level of precision is essential for obtaining reliable and reproducible test results.
• Accurate Temperature and Humidity Regulation
  • In addition to ozone concentration, the chamber offers precise control over temperature and humidity. The temperature can be maintained within a range of -10°C to +60°C, with an accuracy of ±0.5°C. The humidity control range extends from 20% to 90% relative humidity, with an accuracy of ±2% RH. Temperature and humidity play significant roles in the ozone aging process of textiles, as they can affect the rate of chemical reactions and the physical properties of the fabrics. The chamber's control system ensures that these environmental factors are held constant and within the specified tolerances, providing a more accurate simulation of the actual conditions that textiles may encounter during their lifecycle.
• Intuitive Control Panel and Data Acquisition System
  • The equipment is equipped with an intuitive control panel that simplifies the operation and parameter setting. Operators can easily adjust the ozone concentration, temperature, humidity, and test duration using the user-friendly interface. The control panel also provides real-time displays of the current values of these parameters, as well as any alarms or warnings. The chamber is integrated with a comprehensive data acquisition system. It records all relevant test data, including ozone concentration profiles, temperature and humidity histories, and any changes in the physical properties of the test samples. The data can be stored in a built-in memory or exported to external storage devices for further analysis. The system also has the ability to generate detailed test reports in various formats, such as PDF or Excel, facilitating easy documentation and sharing of results.
• Versatile Sample Fixturing and Placement
  • The interior of the chamber is designed to accommodate a wide variety of textile sample sizes and shapes. It can be equipped with adjustable racks, trays, and custom-made holders to ensure proper positioning and exposure of the test samples. The sample fixturing is made of materials that are resistant to ozone and do not contaminate the test environment. This flexibility allows for the testing of different textile products, from small swatches of fabric to large rolls of textile materials. For example, a roll of upholstery fabric can be placed on a specialized rack to mimic its actual installation and usage conditions, providing more accurate test results.

3. Specific Parameters

• Ozone Concentration Range and Accuracy
  • As mentioned, the ozone concentration can be adjusted from 5 ppm to 500 ppm, with an accuracy of ±3% of the set value. This extensive range enables the testing of textiles that may be exposed to different ozone levels in various applications. For instance, outdoor textiles like awnings and tents may experience higher ozone concentrations in polluted urban areas or near industrial zones, while indoor textiles such as curtains and upholstery may be exposed to lower levels. The accurate control of ozone concentration ensures that the test results are reliable and can be used to make informed decisions about fabric selection and product design.
• Temperature Range and Rate of Change
  • The temperature range of -10°C to +60°C allows for the simulation of a diverse range of climatic and storage conditions. The rate of temperature change can be adjusted up to 3°C per minute. This rapid temperature change capability is useful for testing the thermal stability of textile materials in combination with ozone exposure. For example, in the fashion industry, garments may experience sudden temperature changes during transportation or storage, and this chamber can accurately replicate such conditions to assess their durability.
• Humidity Range and Rate of Change
  • The humidity range of 20% to 90% RH, with a rate of change of up to 5% RH per minute, provides a comprehensive assessment of the effect of moisture on ozone aging. High humidity can accelerate the degradation of some textile materials, while low humidity may have a different impact. The ability to control humidity precisely helps in understanding the complex interactions between ozone, temperature, and humidity. In the textile manufacturing process, humidity levels can affect the dyeing and finishing results, and this chamber allows for detailed evaluation of how ozone exposure may interact with these processes.
