Vertical circulating airflow sand and dust box is a kind of experimental equipment that simulates the natural wind and sand environment, which is mainly used to test the durability and protection performance of materials, coatings, electronic devices, etc. under the action of wind and sand. The following are its key information and points:
1. Working Principle
Vertical Airflow Circulation: The top and bottom high-efficiency fans form an up-and-down bidirectional airflow circulation to simulate the dynamic distribution of real wind and sand.
Sand and Dust Control: Built-in vibrating screening system or dosing device ensures that sand and dust are evenly suspended and maintained at a set concentration (e.g. ISO 9227 standard).
Temperature and humidity control: optional heating/cooling module to control the temperature and humidity of the experimental environment (applicable to high cold/desert extreme conditions).
2. Core application areas
Automotive industry: testing the corrosion resistance of paint, seals and sensors in wind and sand.
Building materials: Evaluate the resistance of exterior paints and glass curtain walls to abrasion by wind and sand.
Electronic products: Verify the dustproof sealing level (IP protection) of outdoor equipment (e.g. drones, communication base stations).
Military equipment: simulate the erosive effects of wind and sand on equipment in the battlefield.
3. Suggestions for equipment selection
Select by test object:
Small samples: desktop or compact units.
Large components: industrial grade floor standing chamber.
By Standards Compliance:
Compliance with ISO 9227-2 (dry sand method), GB/T 2423.37 (Chinese national standard), etc.
Additional Functional Requirements:
Equipped with camera to observe the test effect in real time.
Data acquisition system (record wind speed, temperature and humidity curve).
4. Precautions for use
Safe operation:
Check the sealing before the experiment to avoid sand and dust leakage.
Regularly clean the filter and fan dust accumulation.
Sample Preparation:
Samples need to be fixed firmly to avoid displacement or collision.
Initial state record (e.g. quality, surface morphology).
Maintenance cycle:
Weekly cleaning of internal residual grit.
Calibrate the wind speed sensor and temperature and humidity meter every six months.
5. Typical Problem Solving
Dust settles too quickly: Check airflow stability or add agitation device.
Unstable temperature control: Make sure the heating/cooling power matches the chamber volume.
Equipment rattling: Check fan bearing lubrication or foreign matter blockage.

FAQs of Vertical circulating airflow sand and dust box:
Q: How does the vertical circulating airflow system function in this sand and dust test box?
A: The system utilizes vertical airflow to evenly distribute sand and dust particles throughout the chamber, enhancing the uniformity of environmental exposure. Integrated filtration ensures effective recirculation, maintaining consistent test conditions while safely containing dust during operation.
Q: What types of objects or specimens can be tested with this equipment, and what are the size limits?
A: You can test up to six specimens simultaneously, with each specimen measuring up to 300 x 300 x 300 mm. The chamber is designed for electronics, automotive, and industrial components, providing versatility for various durability and ingress protection assessments.
Q: When should I use this sand and dust test box in my product development process?
A: This equipment is ideal during the validation and quality assurance phases of product development, ensuring your products meet required sand and dust resistance standards before market release, especially for items intended for harsh environments.
Q: Where is the best location to install the test chamber in a facility?
A: The chamber is floor-standing and mounted on caster wheels for easy transport. It should be installed in a well-ventilated laboratory or testing area with access to AC 220V power and a stable surface to support its 350 kg weight and ensure safe operation.
Q: What is the testing process and how can parameters be adjusted?
A: Testing involves placing specimens on adjustable racks, sealing the chamber, and configuring test conditions (airflow, humidity, temperature, timer) through the LCD display. All parameters can be tailored using the programmable electronic control, with immediate response to adjustments in under five seconds.
Q: How does this equipment benefit my testing or manufacturing operations?
A: It streamlines sand and dust resistance testing, providing fast, reproducible results that support compliance with international standards. Automated cycling, robust safety features, and user-friendly controls enhance efficiency and reduce manual supervision, ultimately improving product reliability and quality assurance workflows.
