BHD-508

BenchtopRack and Stack

In Stock

The BHD-508 is a benchtop-style environmental test chamber for temperature and humidity testing. Designed for precision and accuracy, this test chamber is engineered to meet the most demanding testing requirements across a wide range of industries.

If you are concerned about losing your lab counter space, this test chamber has an optional floor stand for one chamber, or get double the test workspace when you stack two BHD test chambers in the same footprint.

AVAILABLE MODELS. The BHD-508 series comes in three models, BHD-508, BHD-508-ATP optimized for battery testing, and BHD-508-SAFE optimized to AES SAFE battery testing safety standards.

STRUCTURE. The internal workspace is lined with type 304 stainless steel for a vapor-tight internal construction. The exterior has a durable powder-coat finish over heavy-gauge steel for a long-lasting clean look. Between the two layers is highly-efficient, low k-factor, thermal insulation. This chamber is built to last for many years.

CIRCULATION SYSTEM. Air circulation is crucial for environmental testing. The BHD-508 Test Chamber has a proprietary baffle and fan design combination. This optimizes temperature and humidity conditions within the workspace.

HEATING SYSTEM. HD test chambers feature heating systems equipped with open ceramic-core nichrome heaters for reliable and accurate temperature control within ±0.5°C.

HUMIDITY SYSTEM. The humidity system has a standard range between 10% and 95%. To extend your humidity range, see the optional features section. View RH Chart.

COOLING SYSTEM. The cooling system in the BHD-508 consists of a self-contained, compact, single-stage, mechanical refrigeration system with an air-cooled condenser. An optional water cooling condenser is available.

Add boost cooling with liquid LN2 or CO2 to shorten pull-down times; it's a great option for stress tests that require rapid cooling.

INSTRUMENTATION. BD-508 Test Chamber incorporates AESONE CONNECT® creating a robust connected device giving you a standard and uniform interface that makes operation easier. Learn more in the Instrumentation Tab below.

*Rise and pull-down rates calculated using IEC 60068-3-5 standard. Custom options available.

*Ideal ambient temperature conditions for test chambers is 23°C (73.4°F). The temperature and humidity range of assured performance is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F/77°F) and 30-50% relative humidity. Conditions outside this range may affect the performance of your test chamber and reduce the lifespan of the equipment.
