Owning an environmental test chamber is a major investment in your product testing capabilities. But even the most advanced chambers require ongoing care to deliver accurate, reliable results. Unexpected downtime or drifting calibrations can delay product launches, compromise test data, and impact compliance. That’s why routine maintenance and calibration are critical for protecting your chamber and ensuring consistent performance.
Associated Environmental Systems (AES), a leading environmental test chamber manufacturer, provides nationwide, in-person preventative maintenance and calibration services to help keep your chambers running at peak performance, no matter where your facility is located.
Quick Tips for Increasing Test Chamber Longevity
It’s critical to stay ahead of issues before they become a larger problem. If you want your chamber to last 10+ years, conducting routine checks is paramount. You’ll want your internal service team to be aware of what to do and what to look out for when inspecting your chamber.
Some quick tips for practicing preventative test chamber maintenance include:
- Run your chambers periodically during intermittent testing.
- Conduct regular and thorough cleanings.
- Inspect the electrical, humidity, refrigeration, and circulation systems, looking for small issues that need attention.
- Check the exterior, workspace, and floor panels for punctures, tears, and dents.
- Check the degradation of all gaskets: door(s), window(s), port(s), wiring, and plug(s).
Even the highest-quality chambers can experience drift over time, which may impact test accuracy and compliance with national and international standards. Routine calibration ensures your chamber continues to perform reliably, providing precise control and high-quality data. AES offers ISO-17025-accredited calibration services for all chamber models
