Performance
Temperature cycling up to 20 degrees
per minute
Global-N’s twenty different models allows you to
choose the size and performance best suited for
your test applications. Temperature cycling rates
from 5 to 20°C/min. are possible. Two different
ultimate low temperatures are available: -40°C or
-70°C.
Models EGNL & EGNX also control humidity, for
expanded testing options beyond temperature
cycling.
Global-N chambers are capable of meeting the
performance requirements of JEDEC, IEC, Mil-
Std, and other international environmental test
performance standards.

select your model
For better assurance of performance for your
temperature cycling application, ESPEC can pro-
vide a guaranteed performance calculation based
on your submitted requirements.
Please use these questions (at right) as a guide
to define your test plan. You can then give this
information to your local sales representative,
or submit at www.espec.com, for review by an
ESPEC engineer. A recommended model with
appropriate refrigeration size will be returned.
SYSTEM & PERFORMANCE OPTIONS
Low and Ultra-low Humidity - Extends
•
the humidity control range for EGNL &
EGNX models.
Attached Air-cooled Condenser - For
•
applications where water-cooling isn’t
practical. The condenser is on top
of the chamber, adding 350mm (14
inches). Suitable for installation in
sites that are not air conditioned.
Product Temperature Control - See
•
next page for details.
Datalogging Choices - Via traditional
•
chart recorders, paperless recorders,
Ethernet, or computer interface.
ECA Modification - Allows condition-
•
ing of remotely-located equipment that
cannot be placed inside the chamber.
Dry Air Purge - Keeps moisture in the
•
chamber extremely low by purging
with -40° dewpoint air. Compressed
air supply required.
Liquid Nitrogen Injection - Boosts
•
cooling rate.
Different Global-N models can heat and cool at different rates. Shown
above are change rates for EGNZ12 models, following IEC 60068 3-5
standard, with the sensor in the supply air.
