During the use of the cooling fan, the influence of humidity on the life of the fan cannot be ignored. Especially in industrial and household appliances, such as air conditioning cross-flow fans, cross-flow cooling fans and metal cross flow fans, humidity will not only affect the efficiency of heat dissipation, but also may adversely affect the internal structure of the fan.

How does humidity affect the life of the cooling fan?

High humidity environments pose multiple challenges to the motors, bearings and metal components inside cooling fans. High humidity may cause internal fan components to rust or corrode. In particular, fans with metal shells or internal components, such as metal cross flow fans, are more susceptible to humidity.

 

 

Chungfo's way of coping

In order to deal with the potential threat of humidity to the life of the fan, Chungfo strictly selects moisture-proof and rust-proof materials in the design and manufacturing process of the fan. For example, Chungfo's cross flow fan in air conditioners pay attention to corrosion resistance in the selection of materials, and have passed a number of humidity tests to ensure their long-term operation in high-humidity environments such as air conditioning equipment. Our cross-flow cooling fans are also designed with a moisture-proof seal structure, which effectively prevents moisture from entering the motor part, further extending the life of the fan.

 

 

Humidity has a profound impact on the life of cooling fans, especially for products such as metal cross-flow fans, cross flow cooling fans and air conditioning cross-flow fans that are exposed to high humidity for a long time. By selecting high-quality anticorrosive materials and conducting rigorous humidity life testing, Chungfo provides customers with more durable and reliable cooling fan products.

Curved guides and linear guides are two common types of guides. Both have support and guidance functions. Both can transfer the energy of movement to the receiving end to achieve stable movement. So what is the difference between the two?

From a structural point of view, linear guides are in the shape of a straight line, and they play a role in positioning, supporting and guiding in the movement of machinery and equipment. Curved guides are a special circular structure that is widely used in hardware, automation and precision mechanical equipment, and can maintain the axis position of relative movement unchanged.

From the perspective of motion trajectory, the movement mode of linear guides is linear motion driven by balls. The contact area between the balls and the guide grooves is small, so that the surface of the guide is evenly stressed and has a long life cycle. The arc guide realizes movement by the rolling of the balls on the curved surface of the guide. The curved surface of the guide bears a larger contact area, so the load capacity is higher than that of linear guides.  

From the application point of view, linear guides are widely used in CNC machine tools, semiconductor equipment, medical equipment and other fields due to their linear motion characteristics. They can provide high-precision, high-rigidity and low-friction motion control, and are suitable for high-speed and high-precision linear motion requirements.

Curved guides are more suitable for occasions that require curved motion or circular interpolation, such as robots, aerospace equipment, precision measuring instruments, etc. They can achieve smooth curved motion and precise circular interpolation, improving the motion performance and positioning accuracy of the equipment.

The above is the difference between linear guides and circular guides. When choosing guides, users in the machinery industry should choose the appropriate guide form according to the specific usage scenarios and needs to ensure the stability and reliability of the mechanical equipment.

Conversion Between Accelerated Aging of Xenon Lamp Aging Test Chamber And Outdoor Aging 

Generally speaking, it is difficult to have a detailed positioning and conversion formula for the conversion between accelerated aging of xenon lamp aging test chamber and outdoor aging. The biggest problem is the variability and complexity of the outdoor environment. The variables that determine the relationship between xenon lamp aging test chamber exposure and outdoor exposure include:

1. Geographical latitude of outdoor aging exposure sites (closer to the equator means more UV).

2. Altitude (Higher altitude means more UV).

3. Local geographical characteristics, such as the wind can dry the test sample or close to water will produce condensation.

4. Random changes in climate from year to year can lead to a 2:1 change in aging at the same location.

5. Seasonal changes (e.g., winter exposure may be 1/7 of summer exposure).

6. Direction of the sample (5° south vs. vertical facing north)

7. Sample insulation (outdoor samples with insulated backing age 50% faster than uninsulated samples).

8. Working cycle of xenon lamp aging box (light time and wet time).

9. The working temperature of the test chamber (the higher the temperature, the faster the aging).

10. Test the uniqueness of the sample.

11. Spectral Intensity Distribution (SPD) of laboratory light sources

Objectively speaking, accelerated aging and outdoor aging have no convertibility, one is a variable, one is a fixed value, the only thing to do is to obtain a relative value, rather than an absolute value. Of course, it is not to say that relative values have no effect; on the contrary, relative values can also be very effective. For example, you will find that a slight change in design may double the durability of standard materials. Or you may find the same looking material from multiple suppliers, some of which age quickly, most of which take a moderate amount of time to age, and a smaller amount that ages after longer exposure. Or you may find that less expensive designs have the same durability against standard materials that have satisfactory performance over actual service life, such as 5 years.

Drug Stability Test

The effectiveness and safety of drugs have attracted much attention, and it is also a livelihood issue that the country and the government attach great importance to. The stability of drugs will affect the efficacy and safety. In order to ensure the quality of drugs and storage containers, stability tests should be performed to determine their effective time and storage state. Stability test mainly studies whether the quality of drugs is affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light, and whether it changes with time and the correlation between them, and studies the degradation curve of drugs, according to which the effective period is presumed to ensure the effectiveness and safety of drugs when used. This article collects the standard information and test methods required for various stability tests for customers' reference.

First, drug stability test criteria

Storage conditions of drugs:

	Storage conditions (Note 2)
Long-term experiment	25℃±2℃ / 60%±5%RH or 30℃±2℃ /65%±5% RH
Accelerated test	40℃±2℃ / 75%±5%RH
Middle test (Note 1)	30℃±2℃ / 65%±5%RH

Note 1: If the long-term test condition has been set at 30℃±2℃/65% ±5%RH, there is no middle test; if the long-term storage condition is 25℃±2℃/ 60% ±5%RH, and there is a significant change in the accelerated test, then middle test should be added. And should be assessed against the criteria of "significant change".

Note 2: Sealed impervious containers such as glass ampoules can be exempted from humidity conditions. Unless otherwise determined, all tests shall be carried out in accordance with the stability test plan in the interim test.

The accelerated test data should be available for six months. The minimum duration of the stability test is 12 months for the middle test and the long-term test.

 

Store in refrigerator:

	Storage conditions
Long-term experiment	5℃±3℃
Accelerated test	25℃±2℃ / 60%±5%RH

 

Stored in freezer:

	Storage conditions
Long-term experiment	-20℃±5℃
Accelerated test	5℃±3℃

If the product containing water or solvents that may be subject to solvent loss is packaged in a semi-permeable container, the stability assessment should be conducted under low relative humidity for a long period of time, or an middle test of 12 months, and an accelerated test of 6 months, in order to prove that the drug placed in the semi-permeable container can withstand the low relative humidity environment.

 

Containing water or solvents

	Storage conditions
Long-term experiment	25℃±2℃ / 40%±5%RH or 30℃±2℃ /35%±5% RH
Accelerated test	40℃±2℃;≤25%RH
Middle test (Note 1)	30℃±2℃ / 35%RH±5%RH
Note 1: If the long-term test condition is 30℃±2℃ / 35%±5%RH, there is no middle test.

 

The calculation of the relative water loss rate at a constant temperature of 40℃ is as follows:

Substituted relative humidity (A)	Control relative humidity (R)	Water loss rate ratio ([1-R]/[1-A])
60%RH	25%RH	1.9
60%RH	40%RH	1.5
65%RH	35%RH	1.9
75%RH	25%RH	3.0
Illustration: For aqueous drugs placed in semi-permeable containers, the water loss rate at 25%RH is three times that of 75%RH.

Heat pipe technology is a heat transfer element called "heat pipe" invented by G.M. rover of Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1963, which makes full use of the principle of heat conduction and the rapid heat transfer properties of the refrigeration medium, and transfers the heat of the heating object quickly to the heat source through the heat pipe. Its thermal conductivity exceeds that of any known metal. Heat pipe technology has been widely used in aerospace, military and other industries, since it has been introduced into the radiator manufacturing industry, making people change the design idea of the traditional radiator, and get rid of the single heat dissipation mode that simply relies on high air volume motor to obtain better heat dissipation effect. The use of heat pipe technology makes the radiator even if the use of low speed, low air volume motor, can also get satisfactory results, so that the noise problem plagued by air cooling heat has been well solved, opening up a new world in the heat dissipation industry.

Lab Ovens and Lab Furnaces

Design with sample protection as the primary goal

Lab ovens are an indispensable utility for your daily workflow, from simple glassware drying to very complex temperature-controlled heating applications. Our portfolio of heating and drying ovens provides temperature stability and reproducibility for all your application needs. LABCOMPANION heating and drying ovens are designed with sample protection as a primary goal, contributing to superior efficiency, safety and ease of use.

Understand natural and mechanical convection

Principle of natural convection:

In a natural convection oven, hot air flows from bottom to bottom, so that the temperature is evenly distributed (see figure above). No fan actively blows the air inside the box. The advantage of this technology is ultra-low air turbulence, which allows for mild drying and heating.

Principle of mechanical convection:

In a mechanical convection (forced air drive) oven, an integrated fan actively drives the air inside the oven to achieve uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber (see figure above). A major advantage is excellent temperature uniformity, which enables reproducible results in applications such as material testing, as well as for drying solutions with very demanding temperature requirements. Another advantage is that the drying rate is much faster than natural convection. After opening the door, the temperature in the mechanical convection oven will be restored to the set temperature level more quickly.
