Humidity Freeze Test Chamber For Solar Panels
To determine the ability of the module to withstand the effects of high temperature and humidity followed by sub-zero temperatures. After the fabrication of a high power photovoltaic (PV) module, the most critical aspect is the duration for which the module can produce useful power. Reliability and lifetime of photo-voltaic (PV) modules are key factors to system performance and warranty and thus are extremely important as far as PV business is concerned. Outdoor field testing is an accurate method in estimating module lifetime. However, since PV modules commonly come with twenty five years of warranty, testing modules in field for that long period is not feasible. Thus, due to time constraints, many accelerating aging tests have been derived over the years for testing reliability of PV modules. The accelerated test protocols established by organizations like IEC and UL have been adopted worldwide as official tests to evaluate module quality and reliability standards.
Humidity freeze test chamber IEC61215. Test is performed according to IEC 61215:2005. PV modules are subjected to cycling between temperatures of 85°C with relative humidity of 85% and -40°C. PV modules are subjected to 10 complete cycles in the closed climatic chamber. The purpose is to determine the ability of the module to withstand against humidity penetration. The chamber is designed to meet Damp/heat (IEC 61215 MQT 13), thermal cycling (IEC 61215 MQT 11), and humidity freeze test (IEC 61215 MQT 12).
