AN INTRODUCTION TO THE SILVERFOG CORROSION CHAMBER

Introduction:

The Silver fog corrosion chamber is designed to subject the specimen at various
corrosive test conditions like, salt chemical or water fog at saturated humidity.

Construction:
The Chamber mainly consists of three units:
a. Main Chamber.
b. Solution Reservoir
c. Control panel Unit.

The Main Chamber:

Introduction: Silver fog corrosion chambers are designed to subject the test
specimen to accelerate and highly corrosive environments without introducing other
contaminants into the test area. Chamber has a test area constructed of GRP tank,
which is impervious to the corrosive effects of the salt atmosphere. The outer body
of the chamber is made of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) with Vapor coating for a
highly resistive surface. Between the test space and the outer body Mineral wool
insulation is used to arrest the heat loss from the test space.

Pneumatic cylinder

An acrylic canopy shaped doom and fitted with a pneumatic door lift, which can be
operated using the door open and close switches provided on the control panel. The
inner surface of the dome is sloped such that the droplets do not come in direct contact
with the test specimen and slides along the surface and drains out

Test specimen space:

Test space

The test space is provided with a multi grooved shelf where the test specimen is hung
or supported within by FRP rods or using other fixtures.

CM Envirosystems

Atomizer :
ATOMIZER
WATER LINE

AIR LINE

A non-corrosive wide-angle atomizer is provided on the side of the test

space and directed towards the canopy doom, ensuring a uniform spray collection.
This unique design ensures no direct spray onto the test specimen and creates a
uniform spray .

Air Purging:
Clean and dry Compressed Air is purged into the test space ensuring all
the corrosive spray has drained out. This operation must be carried out prior to
opening the door ensuring no damage to the surrounding environment.

Drain:
A drain is provided at the bottom of the test space and connected to the
rear of the main chamber. This drain has to be piped outside during installation of the
chamber.

Solution Reservoir:
The solution reservoir is housed internally with tank capacity based on
the chamber size. The solution can be poured into the chamber by removing the
reservoir lid. This solution is introduced into the test space through the atomizing
nozzle.

Air Pressure Gauge:

Air Pressure Gauge indicates air pressure supply to the atomizer.

Air Regulator:
Air Regulator controls the pressure of the compressor air supply to the
atomizer.
CM Envirosystems

To adjust the Air Pressure:

a. Pull out the regulator knob to unlock the setting.
b. Rotate anticlockwise to decrease the pressure & clockwise to increase it.
c. Push in the regulator knob to lock the setting.

Before Start the test, connect the DM Water & Air supply:

Saturator:
The saturator tank is provided with a built-in automatic water level
controller which enables the user to operate the chamber round the clock, safety is
provided if there is low water.

The immersion heater temperature is controlled

through a PID controller which is placed in the control panel.

CM Envirosystems

 Humidification of chamber air is achieved by vapor injection method, which is

generated by an immersion heater in the boiler tank and which is incorporated with in the
chamber. The Steam Generator System utilizes a reservoir in which water level is been
controlled with all safety controls and water level controls.

Humidity water make up valve:

Humidity inside the chamber is generating by Steam injection method. The
steam is generated through boiler tank which is provided at rear side of the chamber.
Water in the boiler tank is maintained by float switch and water make up solenoid valve.
When the water level in the boiler tank goes low, the water make up solenoid valve
activates based on the float switch level.

 Silver fog Corrosion Test Chambers: Working principle

The CCT Silver fog Corrosion Test Chambers are able to conduct more sophisticated
procedures such as multi-step cycles incorporating High humidity, Dry cycle,
Immersion, Spray Header or even with a refrigeration module. The CCT Silver fog
having enviCOM color touch screen controller, you can easily program complex test
cycles or run any of the pre-programmed procedures.

Solution Fog Cycle:

During the Solution fog cycle, the basic Silver fog Corrosion Test
Chambers typically operates as a conventional salt spray chamber. The corrosive
solution from the solution reservoir is pumped to the nozzles through a metering
device. Compressed air is humidified by passing through the saturator tank. The nozzle
atomizes the solution and humidified air in to a corrosive fog. Chamber heaters
maintain the programmed chamber temperature.
Typical Example: A continuous indirect spray of neutral (pH 6.5 to 7.2) saltwater
solution, which falls-out on to the specimens at a rate of 1.0 to 2.0ml/80cm/hour, in a
chamber temperature of +35C and saturator tank 45C. The test duration is variable.
The preparation of a salt solution consists normally of sodium chloride containing as a
dry compound not more than 0.1% of sodium iodide and not more than 0.3% of total
impurities. This solution is prepared by dissolving five parts by weight of salt in 95
parts by weight of distilled water. It is important to maintain this solution at a specific
gravity of from 1.023 to 1.037.
For Salt spray test AIR PRESSURE should be 1 otherwise it will affect the fog
collection.
CM Envirosystems

 High Humidity Cycle:

During the high humidity cycle, the atomizer sprays saturated air and
DM water, which is held in a separate reservoir tank. The chamber heaters maintain the
programmed chamber temperature. The chamber is maintained at almost saturated
humidity

Typical Example: A chamber temperature of +38C and a relative humidity of

100%RH.The test duration is variable.

NOTE:
Connect the continuous DM water line for conducting the High
Humidity cycle.

Dry cycle:
During the dry cycle a hot air blower will purge hot air into the test
space. This creates a low humidity and dry condition inside the chamber. The chamber
heaters and the blower heater temperature are controlled.

Typical Example: This cycle is typically after High Humidity Cycle followed by 17
hours 45 minutes of air-drying in a climate of 50%RH at +60C.

Dwell Cycle:
During the dwell cycle is an intermediate cycle where the solution spray
or other cycles have stopped and no action is taken by any of the sub-systems. The
conditions occurred in previous cycles will be usually not disturbed.

Control Action

output power will increase if the Process value is above

the Setpoint value. Programmed for reverse action
(heating), the output power decreases when the Process
Value is above the Setpoint Value.
The dampening time, entered as a time constant in
seconds, dampens (filters) the calculated output power.
Increasing the value increases the dampening effect.

Dampening Time

Generally, dampening times in the range of onetwentieth to one-fiftieth of the controllers integral time
(or process time constant) is effective. Dampening
times longer than these may cause controller instability
due to the added lag effect.
The cycle time, entered in seconds, is the combined
time of an on and off cycle of a time proportioning
control output. With time proportional output, the
percentage of control power is converted into output on

Cycle Time

time of the cycle time value. (If the controller

calculates that 65% power is required and has a cycle
time of 10 seconds, the output will be on for 6.5
seconds and off for 3.5 seconds.) For best control, a
cycle time equal to one-tenth of the process time
constant, or less, is recommended.
These parameters may be used to control low limit
power due to process disturbances or set point changes.

integral action repeats the proportional action each

integral time. Integral action shifts the centre point
position of the proportional band to eliminate error in
the steady state. The higher the integral time, the slower
the response. The optimal integral time is best
determined during PID Tuning. If time is set to zero, the
previous Integral output power value is maintained.

D Time

Derivative time, entered as seconds per repeat, is the

time that the controller looks ahead at the ramping
error to see what the proportional contribution will be
and it matches that value every Derivative time. As
long as the ramping error exists, the Derivative action
is repeated by Proportional action every derivative
time. Increasing the derivative time helps to stabilize
the response, but too high of a derivative time, coupled
with noisy signal processes, may cause the output to
fluctuate too greatly, yielding poor control. Setting the
time to zero disables Derivative Action.

FUNCTION

Control Action

This determines the control action for the PID loop.

Programmed for direct action (cooling), the DLC
output power will increase if the Process value is
above the Setpoint value. Programmed for reverse
action (heating), the output power decreases when the
Process Value is above the Setpoint Value.

Dampening Time

The dampening time, entered as a time constant in

seconds, dampens (filters) the calculated output power.
Increasing the value increases the dampening effect.
Generally, dampening times in the range of onetwentieth to one-fiftieth of the controllers integral
time

(or

process

time

constant)

is

effective.

Dampening times longer than these may cause

controller instability due to the added lag effect.
Cycle Time

The cycle time, entered in seconds, is the combined

time of an on and off cycle of a time proportioning
control output. With time proportional output, the
percentage of control power is converted into output
on time of the cycle time value. (If the controller
calculates that 65% power is required and has a cycle
time of 10 seconds, the output will be on for 6.5
seconds and off for 3.5 seconds.) For best control, a
cycle time equal to one-tenth of the process time
constant, or less, is recommended.

Power Low Limit

These parameters may be used to control low limit

power due to process disturbances or set point
changes. Enter the safe output low power limits for

PID Control:
Introduction:
In PID Control, the controller processes the input and then calculates a
control output power value by use of a modified Proportional Band, Integral Time,
and Derivative Time control algorithm. The system is controlled with the new output
power value to keep the process at the setpoint. The Control Action for PID Control
can be set to reverse for heating (output on when below the setpoint) or direct for
cooling (output on when above the setpoint) applications. For heat and cool systems,
the heat (OP1) and cool (OP2) outputs can be used together in the PID Control. The
PID parameters can be Auto-Tune or Manual Tune to the process.

A Typical PID Response Curve:

CM Envirosystems

Auto Tune:
Auto-Tune is a user-initiated function where the controller automatically
determines the Proportional Band, Integral Time, Derivative Time, Digital Filter,
Control Output Dampening Time, and Relative Gain (Heat/Cool) values based upon the
process characteristics. The Auto-Tune operation cycles the controlling output(s) at a
control point three-quarters of the distance between the present process value and the
set point. The nature of these oscillations determines the settings for the controllers
parameters. Auto-Tune may be initiated at start-up, from setpoint or at any other
process point. However, insure normal process conditions (example: minimize unusual
external load disturbances) as they will have an effect on the PID calculations. AutoTune cannot be initiated while running a profile.
The controller will oscillate the controlling output(s) for four cycles. The cycling phase
can be monitored from the Auto-Tune Phase. The time to complete the Auto-Tune
cycles is process dependent. The controller should automatically stop Auto-Tune and
store the calculated values when the four cycles are complete. If the controller remains
in Auto- Tune unusually long, there may be a process problem. Auto-Tune may be
stopped by entering 0 in Auto-Tune Start.

Auto Tune Code:

The Auto Tuning Code sets the PID profile typically as per the different codes from 0 to
2

CM Envirosystems

Manual PID Adjustments:

In some applications, it may be necessary to fine tune the Auto-Tune
calculated PID parameters. To do this, a chart recorder or data logging device is
needed to provide a visual means of analyzing the process. Compare the actual
process response to the PID response figures with a step change to the process. Make
changes to the PID parameters in no more than 20% increments from the starting
value and allow the process sufficient time to stabilize before evaluating the effects of
the new parameter settings. In some unusual cases, the Auto-Tune function may not
yield acceptable control results or induced oscillations may cause system problems. In
these applications, Manual Tuning is an alternative.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

The solution tank reservoir requires manual feeding; so how many hours can I
run the chamber uninterrupted?
The solution tank capacity of the Silver fog 250 is 60L, Silver fog
450 is 80L and Silver fog 1000 is 80L. The solution consumption would vary based
on the type of test carried out.

Can I use ordinary water or Tap water to run the chamber?

Ordinary or Tap water cannot be used to run the chamber because this
will damage the saturator and clog the internal systems. Also as per standard test
procedure only DM water is to be used to get correct and accurate results.

Im not going to use the chamber for a while. Is there anything I should do to
prepare it for storage?
Perform ALL the steps in the Preventive Maintenance Schedule before placing the
chamber into storage. This will ensure that the chamber will be ready to operate when
it is taken out of storage. If the chamber has a problem and is still under warranty,
these problems should be resolved before being placed into storage, since the warranty
period starts from the date of shipment. The chamber should be stored in a
conditioned environment. Do not store it outside or where it will be subjected to dirt
or excessive moisture.
