Light Soaking Chamber MHID
Use:
Light Soaking Chamber is used in DSSC R&D to illuminate DSCs with emulated sunlight, accelerate cell aging, and conduct long term performance and stability testing of dye sensitized solar cells.
Description:
Light Soaking Chamber will enable to soak DSCs with emulated sunlight and control light soaking experiments through a number of specific control features.
The Light Soaking Chamber was developed to facilitate long term performance and stability testing of DSC cells. The chamber is fitted with a high power metal halide lamp which provides 100,000Lux of uniform illumination over a 300mm x 300mm area. The illumination level is comparable to 1 sunlight conditions but is of a non-conforming spectral output for solar simulation.
A reference cell of known output is used to calibrate the light intensity that cells receive. User controls at the front of the machine controls the lamp height and adjustment of the irradiation intensity. The irradiation level can be set and adjusted to compensate for the continuously reduce the light output of the lamp over its 9,000 hour lifetime (average).
The Light Soaking Chamber has integrated cooling fans and holes in order to maintain thermal stability of devices. For optimal thermal stability the Light Soaking Chamber should be placed in an air conditioned room. A platen is provided for devices to be placed on for long term testing. The platen level and the uniform area of illumination is marked. The plate is also easily controlled and may be remove from the machine to easily testing, replacement and inspection of devices.
