FAQ
(1) What is the purpose of the 100-V2 Steam Generator in thermal shock testing?
The 100-V2 Steam Generator is designed for steam injection thermal shock testing according to Ford FLTM BI 107-05 and GMW15919. It evaluates how automotive components respond to rapid temperature changes and high humidity conditions. The test helps identify material degradation, sealing failure, and structural weaknesses under extreme environments.
(2) How is steam dynamic pressure controlled and measured?
The 100-V2 Steam Generator controls steam output through regulated water flow and heating. Dynamic pressure is measured using the DHF-1 clamp at a distance of 25 mm from the nozzle, with a target value of 37.9 ± 1.9 kPa. This ensures compliance with OEM test specifications and consistent test conditions.
(3) What types of components can be tested with the 100-V2 Steam Generator?
The system is suitable for testing automotive lamps, connectors, sensors, electronic housings, and sealing components. It is widely used to verify resistance to thermal shock, moisture ingress, and mechanical stress under steam exposure conditions defined in automotive standards.
(4) Why is nozzle specification important in thermal shock testing?
The tubular nozzle of the 100-V2 Steam Generator must meet strict dimensional requirements (12.5 ± 0.3 mm ID, ≥100 mm length) to ensure consistent steam flow and pressure distribution. This directly affects test repeatability and compliance with standards such as FCA LP-463PB-64-01.
(5) What should be considered when selecting a steam generator for thermal shock testing?
Key factors include compliance with OEM standards, stable steam output, precise pressure control, and durable components. The 100-V2 Steam Generator meets these requirements, providing accurate simulation of thermal shock conditions and ensuring reliable testing for automotive applications.
