Reliable Temperature & Humidity Control Systems

AES chambers combine advanced heating, cooling, airflow, and humidity systems to deliver stable, repeatable conditions for critical testing.
- Heating system – Fast-response electric heaters deliver uniform temperatures up to 180 °C (356 °F) with precision of ±0.5°C.
- Cooling options – ES chambers consists of a self-contained mechanical refrigeration system with a single-stage or cascade configuration. Air- or water-cooled systems, with optional LN₂/CO₂ boost for rapid pulldown. Even without boost cooling, AES standard cascade refrigeration systems have the fastest standard change rates of any environmental test chamber manufacturer.
- Air circulation – Proprietary fan and baffle design ensure consistent chamber conditions.
- Humidity system – Vapor generator control supports 10–98% RH, with optional features to expand the range or prevent condensation.
AES chambers are engineered for accuracy, flexibility, and long-term reliability, so you can focus on results, not limitations.
Humidity System
AES uses vapor generator systems to give you precise control over the humidity conditions of your chambers’ internal workspaces. The vapor generator system is a closed stainless steel or copper tube. An element heats a constant water source creating vapor or steam that travels through the tube and mixes with conditioned air in a plenum before moving into the workspace. Notably, this water source must be treated and demineralized to avoid contaminating the test.
This system yields a standard relative humidity (RH) range between 10% and 98%.
Optional Features to Increase Humidity Range
High Humidity Sensors let you measure humidity as high as 98% RH.
Dry Air Purge Through Desiccant Air Dryers can achieve humidity as low as 5% RH. It compresses air through a desiccant system, absorbing the moisture before it moves into the workspace.
Dry Nitrogen Purges prevent condensation and frost from accumulating on DUT surfaces at colder temperatures by forcing out the moisture-heavy air. This also prevents the oxidation of metals at high temperatures.
Recirculating Desiccant Air Dryers are a more feasible option for larger chambers. Air is circulated through a desiccant system and then returned to the chamber, often cycled through a honeycomb wheel that releases captured moisture into the external workspace.
Associated Environmental Systems has developed a Dew Point Calculator to help you determine whether you'll need optional features for your humidity systems.

Humidity Chamber Maintenance
Proper service protects your investment, ensures reliable results, and extends system lifespan for 10 years or more. Properly conditioned water protects the system, prevents corrosion, and ensures consistent results. AES suggests defined ranges for resistivity of (0.05MΩ * cm to 6MΩ * cm, conductivity, 20µS to 0.167µS TDS: 10 ppm to 1 ppm, and total dissolved solids (TDS) (10 ppm to 1 ppm). The demineralizing cartridges used to condition the water should be checked monthly.
In addition, be aware of any buildup of sediments and sitting water, which can lead to mold or mildew that corrodes metal over time. AES service technicians are available nationwide to support your equipment. Water quality checks, preventative care, and more, our team helps extend the lifespan of your chamber and keep it running reliably.
Humidity Chamber Resources & FAQS
What is a humidity chamber?
A humidity chamber is a controlled testing environment that regulates both temperature and moisture levels. It allows engineers to replicate real-world conditions and study how products respond to changes in heat and humidity.
How does a humidity chamber work?
Leading test chamber manufacturers build humidity chambers with closed vapor generator systems. They require properly conditioned water as well as regular maintenance to ensure performance. Read more on How Humidity Chambers Work.
How accurate is a humidity chamber?
Most modern humidity chambers hold precision of about ±0.5 °C for temperature and ±2–3% relative humidity. This level of testing accuracy ensures repeatable results for product validation, compliance, and long-term reliability studies.
What is the temperature range of a humidity chamber?
Standard humidity chambers operate from –37 °C to +180 °C (–34.6 °F to 356 °F), with extended models reaching as low as –70 °C (–94 °F). Within this range, chambers maintain stable conditions to support diverse testing requirements.
What are the main functions of a humidity chamber?
Humidity chambers rely on vapor generator systems to create specified conditions in the workspace. Companies across industries (from packaging to electronics, pharma, communications, and more) test their products in humidity to evaluate the effectiveness of those products in different environmental conditions and set expectations for consumers.
