Temperature Options & Accessories 7 Temperature Parameters Die Temperatur in the Xenotest Alpha+ im XENOTEST ALPHA+ q The Black Standard Temperature depends on test chamber humidity, irradiance and ambient air temperature in the laboratory. Options & Accessories in the Xenotest Alpha+ q The temperature ranges for outdoor solar radiation and solar radiation behind window glass for non-turning mode operation are displayed in the below temperature control performance graphics. The red lines indicate the test chamber temperatures for each irradiance value between the minimum and maximum blower speed. The blue lines show temperature differences between Black Standard and test chamber temperatures that fall between the minimum and maximum blower fan speed. Adding the corresponding values of the temperature difference and test chamber temperature will result in the relevant Black Standard Temperature.
