UV Irradiation chambers

UV Irradiation chambers.

Irradiation chambers are the most effective way to expose materials to the effects of ultraviolet light while ensuring total user protection against UV radiation. The irradiated zone is completely isolated from the exterior, and a safety system prevents the lamp from turning on if the chamber is open or immediately disconnects it if opened during operation.

While basic models offer a wide range of features, the final design of these units depends on specific requirements regarding volume, radiant power, or functionality. Whether the application involves curing lacquered parts, inspecting documentation (through a visible light-transparent door), or exposing textile samples to ultraviolet light, the system is tailored to meet the client’s specs.

Irradiation chambers primarily come in two formats: with a pull-out drawer or with a door, each design offering distinct advantages for different workflows. Among the most common options available for these units are:

• Shutter system connected to a control unit that allows for precise programming of the irradiation time, including the lamp warm-up period.
• Ultraviolet light sensors for precise measurement of the received dose and monitoring the aging of the UV lamps.
• Air extraction system for the evacuation of gases that may be generated during equipment operation.
• Inspection window that is transparent to visible light but opaque to ultraviolet radiation.
• Use of ozone-generating ultraviolet lamps, subjecting the irradiated material to the combined effects of both agents.

Features:

• Easy and safe operation.
• Highly reproducible tests.
• Diverse irradiation spectra.

Recommended applications:

• High-intensity UV irradiation tests in a controlled environment.
• Curing of lacquers, adhesives, and filler resins.
• Accelerated weathering.
• Photopolymerizations.
