SCH-512

BenchtopRack and Stack

Benchtop Stackable icon High Performance icon

The SCH-512, also known as the Super 512, is the most powerful temperature and humidity benchtop test chamber in the world. Designed and engineered to work seamlessly with ATPHEAVY, a battery fixture that can test up to 16 high-density batteries, the Super 512 can outperform any standard benchtop-style test chamber while still allowing safe and easy access into your workspace. The SCH series comes in three models, SCH-512, SCH-512-ATP optimized for battery testing, and SCH-512-SAFE optimized toAES SAFE battery testing safety standards.  

If you are concerned about losing your lab counter space, this test chamber has an optional floor stand for one chamber or get double the test workspace when you stack two SCH Test Chambers in the same footprint.

STRUCTURE.  The internal workspace is lined with type 304 stainless steel for a vapor-tight internal construction. The exterior has a durable powder-coat finish over heavy-gauge steel for a long-lasting clean look. Between the two layers is highly-efficient, low k-factor, thermal insulation. This chamber is built to last for many years.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM.  Air circulation is crucial for environmental testing. The SCH-512 Test Chamber has a proprietary baffle and fan design combination. This optimizes temperature and humidity conditions within the workspace. 

HEATING SYSTEM.  HD test chambers feature heating systems equipped with open ceramic-core nichrome heaters for reliable and accurate temperature control within ±0.5°C.

HUMIDITY SYSTEM.  The humidity system has a standard range between 10% and 95%. To extend your humidity range, see the optional features section. View RH Chart.  

COOLING SYSTEM.  The cooling system in the SC and SCH series consists of a self-contained mechanical refrigeration system with a single stage configuration, and a 3.5 HP scroll compressor. An optional water-cooled condenser is available.  

Add boost cooling with liquid LN2 or CO2 to shorten pull-down times; it's a great option for stress tests that require rapid cooling.

INSTRUMENTATION. BD-508 Test Chamber incorporates AESONE CONNECT creating a robust connected device giving you a standard and uniform interface that makes operation easier. Learn more in the Instrumentation Tab below.
