Product Characteristics of Vacuum Oven

The vacuum oven can obtain a higher drying rate at a lower temperature, and the heat utilization is full, which is mainly suitable for the drying of heat-sensitive materials and materials containing capacitors and solvents to be recovered. It can be treated before drying, and no debris can be mixed in the drying process. The dryer is a static vacuum dryer, so the formation of dry materials will not be damaged. There are many eating methods: steam, hot water, thermal oil and electric heating.

Vacuum ovens are designed for drying heat-sensitive, easily decomposed and easily oxidized substances, and can be filled with inert gases, especially for some complex items.

The product has the following features:

1, chamber structure:  chamber adopts integral structure;

2, shell material: high-quality cold-rolled steel electrostatic spray; Inner wall material: stainless steel plate;

3, insulation material: ultrafine glass fiber;

4, the door seal: environmental protection silicone rubber strip. The closure and tightness of the box can be adjusted, and the silicone rubber door sealing ring is formed as a whole to ensure a high vacuum inside the box.

5, the studio is made of stainless steel plate (or wire drawing plate) to ensure that the product is durable.

6, storage, heating, testing and drying are carried out in an environment without oxygen or full of inert gases, so there is no oxidation.

7, the shortest heating time, compared with the traditional drying oven heating time reduced by more than 50%. Because the vacuum oven is provided with heat energy by electricity, and the wet items are conductive, it is advisable to be careful not to have leakage in use, so the general oven should be grounded to ensure safety. If there is no ground wire, it is necessary to confirm that there is no leakage of electricity in the oven; If there is no leakage, it can be used with care, and if there is still leakage, it should be stopped immediately.

Vacuum oven is designed for drying heat-sensitive, easily decomposed and easily oxidized substances, can be filled with inert gas (optional), especially some complex components of the articles can also be fast drying, suitable for industrial and mining enterprises, medical schools, scientific research units in vacuum conditions for drying heat treatment.

Reliability Testing Acceleration Testing

Most semiconductor devices have lifetimes that extend over many years at normal use. However, we cannot wait years to study a device; we have to increase the applied stress. Applied stresses enhance or accelerate potential fail mechanisms, help identify the root cause, and help labcompanion take actions to prevent the failure mode.

In semiconductor devices, some common accelerants are temperature, humidity, voltage, and current. In most cases, the accelerated testing does not change the physics of the failure, but it does shift the time for observation. The shift between accelerated and use condition is known as ‘derating.’

Highly accelerated testing is a key part of JEDEC based qualification tests. The tests below reflect highly accelerated conditions based on JEDEC spec JESD47. If the product passes these tests, the devices are acceptable for most use cases.

Temperature Cycle

Per the JESD22-A104 standard, temperature cycling (TC) subjects the units to extreme high and low temperatures transitions between the two. The test is performed by cycling the unit's exposure to these conditions for a predetermined number of cycles.

High Temperature Operating Life (HTOL)

HTOL is used to determine the reliability of a device at high temperature while under operating conditions. The test is usually run over an extended period of time according to the JESD22-A108 standard.

Temperature Humidity Bias/Biased Highly Accelerated Stress Test (BHAST)

According to the JESD22-A110 standard, THB and BHAST subject a device to high temperature and high humidity conditions while under a voltage bias with the goal of accelerating corrosion within the device. THB and BHAST serve the same purpose, but BHAST conditions and testing procedures enable the reliability team to test much faster than THB.

Autoclave/Unbiased HAST

Autoclave and Unbiased HAST determine the reliability of a device under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Like THB and BHAST, it is performed to accelerate corrosion. Unlike those tests, however, the units are not stressed under a bias.

High Temperature Storage

HTS (also called Bake or HTSL) serves to determine long-term reliability of a device under high temperatures. Unlike HTOL, the device is not under operating conditions for the duration of the test.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Static charge is an unbalanced electrical charge at rest. Typically, it is created by insulator surfaces rubbing together or pulling apart; one surface gains electrons, while the other surface loses electrons. The result is an unbalanced electrical condition known as static charge.

When a static charge moves from one surface to another, it becomes Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and moves between the two surfaces in a form of a miniature lightning bolt.

When a static charge moves, it becomes a current that can damage or destroy gate oxide, metal layers, and junctions.

JEDEC tests ESD in two different ways:

1. Human Body Mode (HBM)

A component level stress developed to simulate the action of a human body discharging accumulated static charge through a device to ground.

2. Charged Device Model (CDM)

A component level stress that simulates charging and discharging events that occur in production equipment and processes, per the JEDEC JESD22-C101 specification.

Smart Watch Reliability Test Conditions

In today's society, elementary school students and even kindergarten children have a smart watch. So, what is a smartwatch? In the late period of sports watch promotion due to the rapid takeoff of smart phones, the smart table has no intention to provide the same PIM effect as PDA and smart phones, and appeals to the smart phone agent assistant accessories, similar to Bluetooth headphones are voice AIDS of smart phones, smart tables become information and data AIDS, providing more convenient and fast information display and operation. There are also other names such as Smart Accessory and Android Remote. Positioned as a mobile phone assistant, the idea is that "the reason why the pocket watch is extinct is because it is simply to look at the time, but also take out the pocket, about 2-3 seconds, but the watch is less than 1 second, which is more convenient than the pocket watch." And after observation, now everyone takes out a smartphone and slides open, just to confirm the message, so that about dozens of times, these confirmation even typing reply do not need, if the dozens of confirmation changed on the watch, you do not always have to pull the machine slide unlock, because this is as time-consuming as a pocket watch. Therefore, after becoming the assistant of the mobile phone, the remote control, if you do not take the mobile phone to go out, the watch is useless in addition to showing the time, and the Bluetooth headset without a mobile phone, almost scrap metal.

Combined with smart bracelet to sell better!!

Smart watch from "smaller than the PDA independent computer" to "smart phone remote control AIDS", seems to have been a more successful positioning, but this CES 2014 can be seen, combined with smart bracelet positioning is better. The smart wristband uses acceleration sensors (and gyroscopes, magnetoresistive sensors, etc.) to sense the user's running speed, step count, etc., and can even detect deep sleep and provide suggestions for exercise and sleep. When the wristband is added to the display, it can display the time and information on the mobile phone. Appeal to mobile phone information, if there is no urgent information needs, in fact, only similar to the Bluetooth headset is regarded as an option (Courier, driver need), if everyone can accept the information access speed of sliding, then the market will be limited. However, in addition to the appeal for exercise and sleep record supervision, and emphasize information tips, rather than emphasizing the remote control of the watch on the mobile phone, it is equivalent to a little sacrifice or almost no sacrifice to the end user, but it brings immediate and new application value (sports, sleep assistance), rather than completely repeating the efficacy value of the mobile phone, which further increases the market success of the smart watch. After constantly adjusting the efficacy, application and positioning, and integrating with the smart ring, we believe that we can have a higher market than in the past.

Solar Module Test

Solar energy is a kind of renewable energy, refers to the sun's thermal radiation energy, the main performance is often said that the sun rays, in the modern generally used for power generation or to provide energy for water heaters. In the case of decreasing fossil fuels, solar energy has become an important part of human energy use and continues to develop. The use of solar energy has two ways of photothermal conversion, solar power generation is an emerging renewable energy, so the related solar energy research and application industry has also stepped up the pace of development. In the research and production process of the solar module, the relevant reliability test and environmental test specifications have been formulated to ensure that the solar module can be durable for more than 20 to 30 years and its power generation conversion rate when used in outdoor environment.

Solar module HAST and PCT test illustration

Temperature and humidity test IEC61215-10-13:

Temperature and humidity test  conditions are 85℃/85%R.H., time: 1000 hours, to determine the ability of the module to resist long-term moisture penetration, through the temperature and humidity test  can be found defects: CELL delamination, EVA(delamination, discoloration, bubble generation, atomization, Browning), string line blackening, TCO corrosion, solder joint corrosion, Thin-film yellow discoloration, junction box degumming off... However, according to the test results of relevant Solar plants,1000 hours is not enough, and the actual situation finds that the test time to enable the module to find the problem needs to be at least 3000 to 5000 hours.

 

Test method of HAST [Highly Accelerated Temperature and Humidity Stress Test]:

HAST is short for Highly Accelerated Temperature and Humidity Stress Test in English. The highly accelerated humidity resistance evaluation test method is based on the environmental parameters of temperature and humidity. HAST and PCT [Pressure Cooker Test] are different from the two tests, HAST is called unsaturated test, while PCT is saturated humidity test, and the biggest difference from the general humidity evaluation test method is that it is in the field of temperature and humidity above 100℃, and is in the high-density water vapor environment test. The purpose of HAST is to accelerate the test of humidity intrusion into the sample for humidity resistance evaluation by taking advantage of the fact that the water vapor pressure in the test tank is much higher than the water vapor partial pressure inside the sample.

 

Test specifications and conditions of JESD22-A118[Accelerated Moisture Resistance-Unbiased](HAST unbiased test) :

It is used to evaluate the reliability of the device in wet environment, that is, the penetration of harsh temperature, humidity and increased water vapor pressure through the external protective material (encapsulation or sealing material) or along the interface of the external protective material and metal conductor, the failure mechanism is the same as that of the [85℃/85%RH] high temperature and high humidity steady-state humidity life test (JESD22-A101-B). In this test process, no bias is applied to ensure that the failure mechanism is not covered by bias, and this test is used to determine the failure mechanism in the package. The sample is in a non-condense humidity environment, only the temperature is increased a little, and the failure mechanism is the same as the [85℃/85%RH] high temperature and high humidity steady-state humidity life test without bias. It should be noted that, Since absorbed water vapor reduces the glass transition temperature of most polymer materials, an unreal failure mode may occur when the temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature.

85℃/85%/1000H(JESD22-A101)→110 ℃/85%/264H(JESD22-A110, A118)

Specifications: JEDEC22-A110(with bias), JEDEC22-A118(without bias)

Common conditions: 110℃/85%R.H./264h Applicable: PET, EVA, modules

Test method of PCT [Pressure Cooker Test]:

Generally known as the pressure cooker cooking test or saturated steam test, the most important is to test the product under harsh temperature, saturated humidity (100%R.H.)[saturated water vapor] and pressure environment, test the high humidity resistance of the test product, for solar packaging materials or modules, used for material moisture absorption test, high pressure cooking... For the purpose of the test, if the product to be tested is a Cell, it is used to test the moisture resistance of the Cell. The product to be tested is placed in a harsh temperature, humidity and pressure environment for testing. If the package is not well packaged, moisture will penetrate into the package along the colloid or the interface between the colloid and the wire frame. Popcorn effect, open circuit caused by metal wire corrosion, short circuit caused by contamination between package pins... And other related issues, and HAST accelerated aging is not the same.

 

Test specifications and conditions of PCT JESD22-A102:

To evaluate the integrity of non-airtight packaged devices against water vapor in a condensed or saturated water vapor environment, the sample is placed in a condensed, high-humidity environment under high pressure to allow water vapor to enter the package, exposing weaknesses in the package, such as delamination and metallization layer corrosion. The test is used to evaluate the new package structure or the update of the material and design in the package body. It should be noted that some internal or external failure mechanisms will appear in the test which are not consistent with the actual application situation. Since absorbed water vapor reduces the glass transition temperature of most polymer materials, an unreal failure mode may occur when the temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature.

 

Test conditions: 121℃/100%R.H./80h(COVEME), 200h[toyalSolar]

Applicable: PET, EVA, modules

Pressure cookers (PCTS) and Highly Accelerated Life Test Equipment (HAST) :

At present, most solar materials and modules can withstand long-term DHB(temperature and humidity + bias) test without failure, in order to improve the test efficiency and shorten the test time, the pressure cooker test method is used. Pressure cooker test methods are mainly divided into two types: That is, PCT and HAST, if the defects of solar packaging materials and modules can be found through HAST tests, and the degradation can be reduced by 1%, the LCOE[Levelized Cost of Electricity(actual energy output value, power generation cost per KWH)] will be reduced by 10%. The purpose of the PCT test is to increase the ambient stress (temperature & humidity), and to evaluate the sealing effect of the module and the moisture absorption of the backplane by exposing it to a wetting vapor pressure of more than one atmosphere.

The Relationship Between the Altitude of the Standard Atmosphere and Air Temperature and Pressure

The standard atmosphere referred to here refers to the "1964, ICAO Standard atmosphere" adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Below an altitude of 32 km, it is the same as "1976, U.S. standard atmosphere". Changes in air temperature near the surface (below 32 km) are:

Ground: The air temperature is 15.0℃, the air pressure P=1013.25mb= 0.101325MPa

Temperature change rate from ground to elevation 11 km: -6.5 ℃/ km

On the 11km interface:

The air temperature is -56.5 ℃ and the air pressure P=226.32mb

Temperature change rate at elevations of 11-20 km: 0.0℃/ km

Temperature change rate at altitude 20-32 km: +1.0/ km

The following table lists the temperature and pressure values of the standard atmosphere at different altitudes. In the table, "gpm" is the altitude meter, and its negative sign represents the altitude

Unit conversion relation

1mbar=100Pa=0.1KPa=0.0001 Mpa

The following is the first part of the daily operation and maintenance of slurry pumps： tart-up and shutdown：

Preparations Before Start-up：

Check whether the connecting bolts and foundation bolts of the pump are loose.

Check whether the piping connection is proper and whether the centers of the pump and the driver are aligned. For pumps handling high-temperature or low-temperature liquids, the expansion and contraction of the piping may cause shaft misalignment, seizure, etc. Therefore, flexible pipe joints, etc., should be used.

Direct coupling and alignment. For small-sized pumps handling normal-temperature liquids, there is no problem in aligning the pump and the motor when the pump is stopped. However, for large-sized pumps handling high-temperature liquids, there is a large difference in the shaft center during operation and stoppage. To achieve correct alignment, generally heat to the operating temperature or stop the pump after the operation and quickly re-align to ensure that the shaft centers of both rotating parts are the same and avoid vibration and pump seizure.

Clean the piping. Before operation, the piping must be cleaned first to remove foreign objects, welding slag, etc. from the piping. Do not let foreign objects or welding slag fall into the pump body. Install pressure gauges before and after the strainer in the suction pipe to monitor the clogging of the strainer during operation.

Barring. Remove the coupling before start-up, turn the rotor by hand to observe whether there are any abnormal phenomena, and conduct a separate test run of the motor to check whether its rotation direction is the same as that of the pump. By rotating the coupling by hand, it can be found whether there are foreign objects between the impeller and the casing inside the pump. The barring should be even in weight, and there should be no abnormal noise inside the pump.

Start the oil pump and check whether the bearing lubrication is good.

Priming the pump. Fill the pump chamber with liquid before start-up to discharge air, liquefied gas, and steam from the suction pipe and the pump body.

Start-up：

The idle operation must be avoided. At the same time, open the suction valve, and close the discharge valve and each discharge hole.

Open the cooling water supply valve for the bearings.

If the stuffing box has a water jacket, open the cooling water supply valve of the stuffing box.

If the pump handling high-temperature liquid has not reached the working temperature, open the preheating valve, and close this valve after the pump is preheated.

If the pump is equipped with a liquid-sealing device, open the valve of the liquid-sealing system.

If equipped with an overheating device, open the bypass valve of the self-circulation system.

Start the motor.

When the pump flow increases and overheating is no longer possible, close the valve of the self-circulation system.

If the pump must be started with the check valve closed and the outlet gate valve open, the start-up steps are basically the same as the above method, except that the outlet gate valve should be opened for a period of time before the motor is started.

Gradually open the discharge valve.

Shutdown：

Open the valve on the self-circulation system.

Close the discharge valve.

Stop the motor.

If it is necessary to maintain the working temperature of the pump, open the preheating valve.

Close the cooling water supply valves of the bearings and the stuffing box.

If liquid-sealing is not required during the shutdown, close the liquid-sealing valve.

If it is a special pump device requirement or when the pump is opened for inspection, close the suction valve, and open the vent hole and various discharge holes.

Usually, the start-up and shutdown steps specified for turbine-driven pumps are basically the same as those for motor-driven pumps. Turbines have discharge valves, various drain holes, and sealing devices, which must be opened or closed before and after operation. In addition, turbines generally require preheating before start-up. Some turbines in the system are required to be started at any time, so barring operation is required. Therefore, the operator should operate according to the relevant regulations on the start-up and shutdown steps of the turbine provided by the turbine manufacturer.

Maintenance During Shutdown For standby pumps at the chemical plant site, when the in-use pump fails, they should be able to be switched over in time and put into normal operation to ensure that the chemical production process is not interrupted. This requires the maintenance of the standby pumps to keep them in good condition during the standby and shutdown period. Especially for standby pumps with interlock and automatic switching, their inlet and outlet valves are open, and the pumps are filled with the medium to be transported. As long as the driver rotates, they can start working immediately.

For standby pumps during the shutdown period, the quality and quantity of the lubricant should be checked frequently. The pump body and the medium inside the pump that needs to be heated and insulated should be heated and insulated. To prevent the rotor from bending due to its own weight and to prevent the shaft from adhering to the bearings and causing start-up difficulties, the standby pumps should be barring regularly.

For pumps that have been shut down for a long time, open the plugs on the pump body to drain the liquid inside the pump to avoid damage to the pump body due to cold weather. If necessary, open the pump body, clean the internal parts, and apply anti-rust oil. For pumps that have been shut down for a long time, whether they are on-site or in the warehouse, they should be barring regularly.
