INTRODUCTION
The CARON 6010 & 6030 series Environmenta Test Chambers provide mu tip e capabi ities to
create repeatab e environmenta conditions for numerous app ications inc uding:
• Product she f ife
• Stabi ity and package testing
• Light exposure and temperature eva uation studies
• E ectronic component burn-in
• TAPPI testing
• Photostabi ity
• P ant growth
• Insect rearing
These chambers uti ize environmenta y friend y HFC refrigerant and CFC-Free insu ation, and is
designed to meet NEC, UL and CSA standards for safety and performance.
Contro ing the chamber temperature requires the abi ity to heat and coo . Heating of the chamber
is achieved by duct heaters, and coo ing is achieved by a direct expansion/vapor compression
refrigeration heat exchanger mounted in the duct, combined with horizonta airf ow pattern which
creates better air uniformity, and temperature contro .
A bi-moda contro er (sing e input - dua output) is necessary for proper contro of the system that
can drive the process variab e in either direction. The refrigeration system uses a sing e
condensing unit that wi a ow independent coo ing and dehumidification. This insures continuous,
safe and re iab e operation of the compressor even when no coo ing is required. This a so
prevents the compressor from rapid cyc ing “on” and “off” which shortens the compressor ife.
SYMBOLS AND WARNINGS

Warning of dangerous electric voltage
Earth (ground) protective conductor
Local government may require proper electrical component disposal

CHAMBER CONSTRUCTION
The chamber is a custom designed sheet meta package. Exterior meta is Co d Ro ed Stee
(CRS) with a powder coat finish for corrosion resistance. The chamber interior is constructed from
304 stain ess stee , with a joints seam we ded. The chamber face connecting the interior to the
exterior is magnetic stain ess stee providing a sea ing surface for the magnetic gasketed exterior
door as we as improved corrosion resistance. The contro pane housing is constructed from
a uminum with a powder coat finish. The chamber is insu ated on a sides with fiberg ass
insu ation rated at 70
°
C.
SHELF CONSTRUCTION (STANDARD)
The chamber she ves are po ished, 304 stain ess stee wire formed.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM
A bi-moda refrigeration system a ows for independent heating and coo ing. This system is now
used to rep ace the ess sophisticated type of refrigeration system which used heaters to buck
against the refrigeration system and assist in temperature contro . The new design a ows the
chamber to respond faster and contro s the chamber more efficient y at a constant temperature.
CONTROL SYSTEM
The contro system is comprised of a sing e channe , dua output contro er. On/off outputs are
used to drive heaters and coo ing so enoids.
SAFETIES
The CARON 6000 Series has a trip e redundancy safety system. A temperature a arm in the
temperature contro er sounds an a arm to a ert the end user to the condition. A therma snap
disk, high imit and a therma fuse are provided to prevent run-away heating of the unit. The
compressor and b ower motors are both protected by therma over oads. The Condenser fan
motor is impedance protected.
