The Xe-3 xenon lamp aging chamber simulates the invasion of outdoor rainwater through the option of pure water spray. Two nozzles are located at the top of the box. Spraying can be set to occur in a cycle of no light or light. Please note that the normal operation of Xe-3 with water spray requires purified water.

Back spray: can be used in Xe-3 test chambers and is also required by some SAE testing standards.It can spray water on both the front and back of the sample simultaneously. Please note that the normal operation of Xe-3 with back spray must also use purified water.

Double spray: can be used in Xe-3 test chambers. The second liquid (such as acid rain or soap solution) can be sprayed onto the test sample. The large external water tank, centrifugal pump, and filter will be connected to the Xe-3 test chamber.

3 Radiation monitoring:

The SOLAR EYE solar eye irradiance control system can continuously monitor and control the output of the light intensity of the lamp tube, ensuring the simulation of solar energy exposure and reproducible test results. The irradiance can be controlled at 340nm, 420nm, or TUV (total UV).

4 Blackboard thermometer:

Temperature control is very important because it affects the aging rate. Q-SUN Xe-3aging chamberUse a blackboard temperature sensor to control the sample exposure temperature. The temperature can be set at any point between 42 º C and 120 º C, depending on the type of sensor, irradiation intensity, filter type, lamp usage time, and ambient temperature. The optional refrigeration unit, the blackboard that can be controlled simultaneously, and the air temperature inside the box enable good control of the sample temperature.

5 Sample holder:

The flat sample installation tray can simultaneously accommodate samples of different shapes and sizes, including three-dimensional parts.Q-Sun Xe-3preparedVarious sample scaffolds are available for selection. The size of the Xe-3 sample tray is 451mm x 718mm, and it can also hold 55 samples of 51mm x 102mm size when needed. The flat sample installation tray provides the possibility for testing samples of various sizes and shapes. Bottles, test tubes, cosmetics, golf balls, etc. can be placed directly on sample trays or on special supports. The adjustable height bracket can load three-dimensional parts, so the top of the component should be at the same height as the normal sample tray height. A sample tray that is close to horizontal ensures that water does not quickly drain from the sample, in order to reproduce outdoor test results. It is also useful for testing materials that flow at high temperatures.

6 Filter:

Q-SUN Xe-3agingThe long-life filter of the test chamber is particularly durable and can guarantee the required spectrum indefinitely. After years of use, the Q-SUN filter still shows no signs of aging.

All models of Q-SUN Xe-3 use three filters per unit. There are several common types of these filters:

1） Sunlight filter

Sunlight filters are used to simulate direct summer noon sunlight.For most applications, they provide excellent correlation with natural exposure.

Materials commonly used outdoors, such as roof or exterior wall coatings, should be tested using daylight filters. The Q-SUN Xe-3 test chamber is equipped with three different types of daylight filters: Daylight-F, Daylight-Q, and Daylight-B/B.

2） Window glass filter

The spectrum generated by the window glass filter is equivalent to the sunlight passing through the window glass.

This spectrum can also simulate other indoor lighting, such as the glaring light in typical commercial or office environments. Window glass filters can be used for indoor materials such as printing materials and textiles. Q-SUN Xe-3aging chamberEquipped with four different types of window glass filters: Window-Q, Window-B/SL, Window-SF-5, and Window IR.

3） UV Extended Filter

UV extension filters can generate excessive ultraviolet radiation, which is lower than the normal reduction of sunlight.

They are used to generate faster or more accurate test results. UV extended filters are used in some automotive testing methods and sometimes in aerospace applications. this typerelatively manyThe common Q-SUN filter is an extended UV-Q/B.

7 humidity control

Relative humidity (RH) control is a standard feature of the Q-SUN Xe-3 model，Allow users to simultaneously control, monitor, and display relative humidity, blackboard temperature, and indoor air temperature. Please note that purified water must be used for the normal operation of Xe-3 with humidity control.

8 Refrigerator options for low-temperature testing (model Xe-3-HSCE)

Some indoor products, such as drugs and cosmetics, must be exposed to low temperatures to prevent non natural aging. When testing such thermosensitive materials, an Xe-3 test box with a refrigeration unit can be used to meet the requirements for low temperatures. Due to its refrigeration system, the Q-SUN Xe-3 aging chamber can operate at 31 ℃ -120 ℃ and 50% relative humidity, depending on the type of sensor, irradiation intensity, filter type, lamp usage time, as well as the temperature and humidity of the surrounding environment. The Xe-3 refrigeration unit supports full-size Xe-3 testers and is equipped with wheels for easy relocation.

9 Controller and optional software

The Q-SUN Xe-3 controller is powerful and easy to use, supporting multiple optional programming languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian, German), and includes complete self checking and error checking functions. If necessary, it can also display simple warning messages, regular service reminders, or perform a secure shutdown.

The quality system requires proof of testing conditions, therefore each Q-SUN testing machine is equipped with an Ethernet connection. The optional 'virtual ribbon' PC software allows users to automatically record exposure conditions and transfer data directly from the Q-SUN testing machine to a Windows coefficient based computer. The data can also be sent directly to the Q-Lab technical support desk via email to seek diagnosis and troubleshooting from the manufacturer.
