The formaldehyde emission detection test chamber is a piece of formaldehyde emission detection equipment. It is suitable for measuring the formaldehyde emission of various artificial boards, composite wooden floors, indoor decoration materials such as carpets, carpet liners, carpet adhesives, furniture, automotive interiors, and building decoration materials. The constant temperature and humidity balance treatment of wood or artificial boards can also be used to detect volatile harmful gases in other building materials.
The amount of formaldehyde released from wood-based panels is an important indicator for measuring the quality of wood-based panels, which is related to the pollution of products to the environment and their impact on human health. The climate box detection method for formaldehyde emission of 1 m3 is a commonly used standard for formaldehyde emission detection in indoor decoration and decoration materials. Its characteristic is to simulate the indoor climate environment, and the detection results are closer to reality, thus being true and reliable.

| *Humidity control methods | The intelligent combination of dry wet method and dew point method is used to control the relative humidity of the working cabin. Taking advantage of the advantages of dry wet method and dew point method, the set humidity can be quickly reached within one hour through dry wet method. After reaching the set humidity, it automatically switches to dew point method to assist in humidity control, achieving very stable results. The humidity fluctuation is basically not more than 1.5%, far superior to the standard requirement of 3%. And it will not generate water droplets on the bulkhead; |
| control system | The touch control screen is used as the dialogue interface for personnel to operate equipment. The Siemens PLC control system in Germany uses the touch control screen as the dialogue interface for personnel to operate equipment. It can directly set and display the temperature, relative humidity, temperature compensation, dew point compensation, dew point deviation, temperature deviation, working time inside the box, and can automatically record and draw control curves. |
| Refrigeration system | We use ASPERA compressor imported from Italy. |
| Security protection system | Refrigeration system high pressure and overcurrent protection, heater overtemperature protection, motor overcurrent protection, water shortage protection, air pump overheating, overcurrent, overpressure protection, etc. |
