What is Temperature Mapping?

Jul 21 / Chris Maughan

Temperature Mapping is performed to determine if a storage area can maintain temperature within a defined temperature range.

Sensors are distributed throughout the unit/room in the useable space to identify any cold or hots spots. 

Monitoring and alarm systems use sensors placed in the worst case locations to identify any temperature deviations from the defined temperature range.

Temperature Mapping Tests

Ongoing control is critical but we also need to understand what happens in the event of a failure.

Empty Chamber Temperature Distribution

Temperature is mapped over a defined period, to understand the performance and identify hot and cold locations within the chamber.

Loaded Chamber Temperature Distribution

Used to challenge the chamber with a load, to help understand the loads impact of temperature distribution. Can also include penetration sensors.

Door Open Test

Performed to understand how the unit controls during a door intrusion, Normally time to out of tolerance and return to tolerance.

Power Failure Tests

It's important to understand how long the unit takes to go out of tolerance and recover in the event of a power failure.

Temperature Penetration Test

Sensors are placed in product to monitor the control and impact of door open and power failures. 

Pull Down Test

When your using equipment to change the temperature in your product, this test helps understand the time taken to reach tolerance within the product.
