5-ton heavy load + 66kW heating! SCICOOLING’s “Special Test Chamber” passed acceptance

Electric vehicle charging stations in outdoor environment for reliability testing

Breaking industry challenges: extreme challenges under special loads

In late autumn, in the quiet beauty of Suzhou, in the laboratory of a listed company in China, a newly inspected “special test chamber” caught the eye. This 49m³ walk-in high and low temperature and humidity test chamber, custom-made by SCICOOLING for customers, is executing a special command—while simulating temperature and humidity environments, it carries a 5-ton test sample and simultaneously digests the massive 66kW heat generated during sample operation. “This is equivalent to placing two Xiaomi SUV7s in the test chamber simultaneously, with 18 units continuously running 1.5-horsepower air conditioning for heating.” The SCICOOLING project leader explained, “Such a high-load, high-heat composite operating condition requires heating and cooling rates, which is quite rare in the field of environmental test equipment.” ”

Empowering the New Energy Industry: Safeguarding Large Charging Piles This “Special Test Chamber” mainly serves the new energy sector, providing reliable environmental adaptability testing for large charging piles, energy storage equipment, and more. With the popularization of new energy vehicles, the performance stability of high-power charging stations is directly related to user experience and safety.

“Under simulated extreme conditions from -40°C to +90°C, while simultaneously loaded with full load operation, it can realistically reproduce the actual operating conditions of the equipment during cold winter and scorching heat.” Staff from the customer’s laboratory stated, “This provides key assurance for enhancing the reliability and safety of new energy products.” As a listed company in the domestic third-party testing industry, this client has very strict standards for equipment procurement. From technical solution review to equipment stability verification, every step undergoes multiple rounds of evaluation. During the trial period, the equipment underwent multiple rigorous tests such as full-load operation and extreme temperature and humidity. Key indicators like temperature field uniformity, control accuracy, and heating rate all exceeded agreed standards.

Technology Leadership: SCICOOLING’s Hardcore Strength Facing the dual challenges of a 5-ton load and 66kW heating, the SCICOOLING R&D team innovatively adopted a special compressor refrigeration system to ensure rapid cooling under high thermal loads. u Reinforced structural design ensures long-term heavy load operation without deformation; the chassis floor supports ≥ 1 ton/m² u. Intelligent PID adjustment technology enables precise temperature and humidity control. u Multiple safety protections ensure the equipment operates continuously 24×7 hours a day. It is worth mentioning that this device is fully customized to meet the customer’s specific requirements, demonstrating SCICOOLING’s strong non-standard customization capabilities. For example, to meet customer requirements, common operating conditions are: 66kW thermal load with 25°C/90%RH, 40°C/95%RH, 55°C/95%RH; During high-temperature stages (≥ 100°C), it has ventilation function, with adjustable air exchange frequency of no less than 20 times per hour. The circulating air velocity inside the box can be adjusted, and it features a mist sensing function linked to the cabinet.
