Tech/Engineering
Engineering (general)
Equipment / materials testing
This is a temperature-controlled enclosure used for testing all kinds of materials and/or equipment — in my specific instance, it is electronic equipment, but that isn't really relevant.
I have of course checked the glossary, but none of the suggestions there seem to me satisfactory in my specific context — which is that this enclosure is used for both HOT testing and also COLD! The specific tests I am concerned with involve testing at +60 °C and –20 °C.
I don't know the actual size of this enclosure, but for the particular tests being described, it wouldn't need to be particularly large — and probably wouldn't have to be, as it is being used for abrupt temperature changes (thermal shock), and so mustn't have too great a thermal inertia.
Now I got most of the way through my document quite content to use the word 'oven' in EN — until I got to the part where it started talking about the cold testing at –ve temperatures; it just feels so silly talking about an 'oven' for cooling things down!
I don't think this can be as big as a 'room'; I would have been happy to use 'temperature-controlled enclosure', except that it is a bit cumbersome to be repeated as often as it occurs in my document; ditoo '...chamber' etc.
If all else fails, I may have to go with 'temperature-controlled enclosure' the first time and just shorten that to 'enclosure' thereafter.
Any experts out there who can give me the 'pproper' term, if there is one? I shall continue to do my own research, but with my deadline looming, I'm under a bit of pressure to find the answer quickly...
Thanks in advance!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:
Non-PRO (1): GILLES MEUNIER
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

environmental chamber (climatic chamber) for rapid temperature change
Connectors for electronic equipment - Tests and measurements - Part 11-4: Climatic tests; Test 11d: Rapid change of temperature (IEC 60512-11-4:2002); German version EN 60512-11-4:2002
An environmental chamber, also called climatic chamber or climate chamber, is an enclosure used to test the effects of specified environmental conditions on biological items, industrial products, materials, and electronic devices and components.
Such a chamber can be used:
as a stand-alone test for environmental effects on test specimensas preparation of test specimens for further physical tests or chemical testsas environmental conditions for conducting testing of specimens
An environmental test chamber artificially replicates the conditions under which machinery, materials, devices or components might be exposed. It is also used to accelerate the effects of exposure to the environment, sometimes at conditions not actually expected.
These conditions may include:
extreme temperatures
sudden and extreme temperature variations
moisture or relative humidity
electrodynamic vibrations
electromagnetic radiation
salt spray
rain
weathering exposure to sun, causing UV degradation
vacuum
Manufactured samples, specimens, or components are placed inside the chamber and subjected to one or more of these environmental parameters to determine reliability or measure after-effects such as corrosion. In the case of machinery such as internal combustion engines, byproducts such as emissions are monitored.
An environmental chamber can be a small room used both to condition testspecimens and to conduct the test. It can be a smaller unit that's used for conditioning test items. Also, some chambers are small enough to be placed onto auniversal testing machine or other test apparatus.
Many chambers are set at a certain set of conditions. Others can be programmed to cycle through specified sequences of conditions.

Laboratory ovens are ovens for high-forced volume thermal convection applications. These ovens generally provide uniform temperatures throughout. Process applications for laboratory ovens can be for annealing, die-bond curing, drying, Polyimide baking, sterilizing, and other industrial laboratory functions. Typical sizes are from one cubic foot to 0.9 cubic metres (32 cu ft) with temperatures that can be over 340 degrees Celsius.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_oven
Conclusion: We do not deal with laboratory ovens, but with climate/climatic/environmental chambers, as a laboratory oven is not used for cyclic temperature changes.

Temperature and Climate Test Chambers and Rooms
Characteristics, function and service life of systems or components are influenced by varying thermal and climatic conditions during transport, storage and use. For this reason, tests have to be carried out in order to safeguard and optimise the quality of the product. The temperature and climate test chambers produced by Weiss Umwelt technik set standards with regard to ease of operation, performance and equipment.

Stability Test and Climate Cycling Chambers
Developed and Proven for Stability Climate Tests
Our climate cabinet WK3-0 was designed to simulate different climates and/or seasonal climates and the climatic zones of the world, in particular for long-term and accelerated stability tests.
The specimens which have to be exposed to a long-term test and/or an accelerated service life test played a primary role throughout the entire development and construction process.

Environmental Stress Screening (ESS)
Reliable testing to guarantee safety
High product reliability is a basic requirement for today’s competitive market and is often the only difference between the various manufacturers. The reliability of electronic prod ucts can be substantially improved by the use of environmental stress screening (ESS) techniques to minimize the risk of errors and failures of products and simultaneously im prove the reputation of a company.
The ESS test
During the ESS test, the products are subject to precisely defined stress so that defects in components and PCBs can be detected before leaving the manufacturer’s plant. Detecting weak points considerably improves the robustness of the products. Unreliable systems are filtered out before they reach the customers. Each product requires a specially adapted ESS technique.

Test Systems for rapid temperature cycling
The test systems based on the well-tried modules of the WT and WK series with increased power for heating, cooling and circulating air and test cabinet volumes of 190 to 1540 litres are capable of meeting virtually all requirements of current ESS testing.

Temperature Shock Test Chambers: The Stress Limit for Your Product
The test chamber consists of two independently controlled chambers, one hot and one cold chamber. These are positioned on top of each other. A temperature shock between hot and cold is achieved by rapid transferring the specimens placed in a lift. The specimens are exposed to a shock wised temperature change.
Features
• Test space 60 l
• Vertical order of the chamber for safe and quick test performance
• Regular temperature distribution in test space via a high recirculating rate with optimum air flow
• Hot chamber temperatures of +50 °C to +220 °C
• Cold chamber temperatures of –80 °C to +70 °C
• Alternating time between the chambers <10 sec.
• More than 1,000 cycles are possible without defrosting via a standard integrated volume compensation system for continuously operation
http://www.weiss.info/en/products/environmental_stress_scree...
Note: The context would suggest that the temperature in the chamber is changed rapidly, rather than to transfer the specimen from one chamber into another and back. Therefore I wouldn’t use the latter term “Temperature Shock Test Chamber”

Comment: "Danke Johannes!
In the end, I managed to find out the manufactuer of the actual device in question, and this is indeed the term 'environmental chamber' that they themselves use for it.
So I think this is the best solution in my particular context."

"Environmental chamber" is a more general term to describe a chamber in which other environmental parameters (e.g. humidity, pressure...) can be varied.

"Thermal shock test chamber" is a better fit, because whatever is being tested is subjected to a thermal shock. See, for example: http://weiss-uk.com/products/environmental-stress-screening/...
