In recent years, the iteration speed of core components of AI servers has been accelerating, and the heat load has risen sharply. Taking an AI server equipped with 8 high-end GPUs as an example, its peak power consumption easily exceeds 10kW, and the power density of high-density cabinets soars to more than 50kW or even 100kW, with heat output 3 to 5 times higher than that of traditional servers. More importantly, modern high-load clusters are not the occasional periodic peaks in traditional data centers, but continuous heat generation brought by high-intensity continuous operation. When the hardware operating temperature reaches the critical safety threshold of 85°C to 90°C, the GPU will automatically start the "thermal throttling" self-protection program to cool down by sharply reducing the core frequency, which directly leads to a significant attenuation of computing power, a drop in operating efficiency of up to 25%, and an unlimited passive extension of model training time, seriously restricting the efficiency of AI R&D and application landing.
The drawbacks of traditional environmental reliability testing solutions have been fully exposed in this context. Limited by the cavity volume and heat load capacity, traditional testing equipment cannot accommodate the entire AI server/rack system at all, nor can it simulate the dense heat generated during the actual operation of GPU clusters, failing to meet the full-scenario reliability verification needs of AI equipment. Under this premise, a walk-in rapid temperature change test chamber with high load capacity and accurate environmental simulation capabilities has become an essential key equipment in the R&D and mass production verification links of AI servers, and even a core support for solving the contradiction between computing power and heat dissipation.

The rapid temperature change series supports linear or non-linear temperature change rates from 5℃/min to 25℃/min, and can be equipped with a liquid nitrogen auxiliary refrigeration system to increase the cooling rate to 30℃/min, efficiently simulating extreme temperature change environments. The overall design strictly follows the GB/T 2423.2-2008 high-temperature testing standard, and also meets the latest industry standards such as T/UNP 538-2025, ensuring that the test results are authoritative and universal.
Intelligent Control System, Easy Operation and Full-Process Traceability
The equipment is equipped with the Q8 series intelligent controller, which supports multi-segment program editing, precise temperature and humidity calculation and full-process data recording. It is easy to operate and understand, without cumbersome operations by professional personnel. The entire testing process is traceable, facilitating customers to review test data and optimize test plans. In addition, the environmental chamber can seamlessly conduct joint debugging and testing with new heat dissipation solutions such as liquid cooling, and supports external CDU thermal management equipment, helping whole-machine manufacturers accurately verify the reliability of products under different heat dissipation solutions, quickly find thermal design shortcomings, and then optimize the system thermal management plan to enhance the core competitiveness of products.
Laying a Solid Foundation for Computing Power Breakthroughs, Empowering the High-Quality Development of the AI Industry
Heat is the natural enemy of computing power and a key bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of the AI industry. Lab Companion's high-heat walk-in environmental chamber is precisely the underlying supporting force in the AI computing era — it can not only help enterprises accurately verify the operational stability of AI equipment under extreme heat loads, but also enable the new generation of computing power products to have "temperature resistance for real application scenarios" before they are launched, reducing product failure risks from the source, shortening the R&D cycle, and accelerating product mass production and landing.

Cleaning Method of Condenser in Rapid Temperature Change Test Chamber
Rapid temperature change test chamber is a kind of high-precision and high-stability experimental equipment, which can carry out temperature changes in a short time to test the performance changes of materials and products at different temperatures. It is mainly used to detect the performance of products under rapid temperature changes and limit temperature conditions, and is widely used in semiconductor chips, scientific research institutions, quality inspection, new energy, optoelectronic communications, aerospace military industry, automotive industry, LCD display, medical and other science and technology industries.
After handing over the machine to the customer, in addition to instructing the precautions of equipment operation, it will also emphasize the daily maintenance of the equipment. After a long period of operation, Rapid temperature change test chamber should pay special attention to the maintenance of the refrigeration system, because the refrigeration system is not only a complex manufacturing process but also the core of the equipment refrigeration, and the next will focus on understanding the cleaning method of the condenser in the refrigeration unit.
1, Chemical pickling and scaling
For vertical and horizontal shell and tube condensers, the chemical pickling method can be used, and the weakly acidic detergent can be prepared in the pickling tank. After the pickling pump is turned on and run for 24 hours, the pickling pump is turned off, and the circular steel brush is used to brush the tube wall of the condenser back and forth, and the water is washed until all the dirt or rust stains and the scaling solution remain in the tube are clean.
2, Mechanical scaling
First, the refrigerant in the vertical shell and tube condenser is extracted, and all the valves connected to the condenser are closed, and then cooling water is normally supplied to the condenser. Use the bevel gear connected with the flexible shaft pipe washer (the diameter of the hob should be selected to be smaller than the inner diameter of the cooling pipe to scratch the inner wall) in the condenser from the top down rotary rolling mode to remove scale, because the circulating cooling water and the friction of the pipe wall generate heat, can help dirt and rust and other dirt directly washed out of the pool. After the end of descaling, drain the water in the condensate pool, clean up the dirt, and refill the water.
3, Electronic magnetic water scaling
At normal temperature, the electron magnetic water can dissolve calcium, magnesium and other salts in the cooling water of the condenser as positive and negative ions in the water. Electron magnetic water can change its crystallization conditions, can loosen the structure, reduce the tensile and compressive capacity, so that it can not form a hard scale with strong bonding force, and is converted into loose mud with the flow of cooling water and discharged.
The above is the scientific method of cleaning the condenser dirt of rapid temperature change test chamber.
What are the Types of PCB Environmental Tests?
High acceleration test:
Accelerated tests include high accelerated life test (HALT) and High accelerated Stress screening (HASS). These tests assess the reliability of products in controlled environments, including high temperature, high humidity, and vibration/shock tests when the equipment is powered on. The goal is to simulate the conditions that could lead to the imminent failure of a new product. During testing, the product is monitored in a simulated environment. Environmental testing of electronic products usually involves testing in a small environmental chamber.
Humidity and corrosion:
Many PCBS will be deployed in wet environments, so a common test for PCB reliability is a water absorption test. In this type of test, the PCB is weighed before and after being placed in a humidity controlled environmental chamber. Any water adsorbent on the board will increase the weight of the board, and any significant change in weight will result in disqualification.
When performing these tests during operation, exposed conductors should not be corroded in a humid environment. Copper oxidizes easily when it reaches a certain potential, which is why exposed copper is often plated with an antioxidant alloy. Some examples include ENIG, ENIPIG, HASL, nickel gold, and nickel.
Thermal shock and circulation:
Heat testing is usually performed separately from humidity testing. These tests include repeatedly changing the board temperature and checking how thermal expansion/contraction affects reliability. In thermal shock testing, the circuit board uses a two-chamber system to quickly move between two temperature extremes. The low temperature is usually below the freezing point, and the high temperature is usually higher than the glass transition temperature of the substrate (above ~130 ° C). The thermal cycle is carried out using a single chamber, with the temperature changing from one extreme to the other at a rate of 10°C per minute.
In both tests, the board expands or contracts as the board temperature changes. During the expansion process, conductors and solder joints are subjected to high stress, which speeds up the service life of the product and enables the identification of mechanical failure points.
ESS Rapid Temperature Change Stress Screening Machine
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
Stress screening is the use of acceleration techniques and environmental stress under the design strength limit, such as: burn in, temperature cycling, random vibration, power cycle... By accelerating the stress, the potential defects in the product emerge [potential parts material defects, design defects, process defects, process defects], and eliminate electronic or mechanical residual stress, as well as eliminate stray capacitors between multi-layer circuit boards, the early death stage of the product in the bath curve is removed and repaired in advance, so that the product through moderate screening, Save the normal period and decline period of the bathtub curve to avoid the product in the process of use, the test of environmental stress sometimes lead to failure, resulting in unnecessary losses. Although the use of ESS stress screening will increase the cost and time, for improving the product delivery yield and reduce the number of repairs, there is a significant effect, but for the total cost will be reduced. In addition, customer trust will also be improved, generally for electronic parts of the stress screening methods are pre-burning, temperature cycle, high temperature, low temperature, PCB printed circuit board stress screening method is temperature cycle, for the electronic cost of the stress screening is: Power pre-burning, temperature cycling, random vibration, in addition to the stress screen itself is a process stage, rather than a test, screening is 100% of the product procedure.
Product features of rapid temperature change stress screening machine:
1, It can set different stress screening temperature variation of 5°C/min, 10°C/min and 15°C/min.
