Up to eight freeze-thaw cycles are possible within a 24-hour
period. But the exact number of cycles is dependent upon the time
required for the temperature at the center of the control prism to
from 40 to 0°F (4.4 to -17.8°C) and then back to 40°F (4.4°C). The
temperature at the center of the control specimen is cycled by
means of a 3/4 HP (0.6KW) refrigeration unit and electric
resistance heaters with fully automatic controls. An electric
temperature recorder with 24-hour, 7-day week chart is incorporated
into the unit to accurately maintain a record of the control
specimen temperature throughout the testing period.
For corrosion resistance and long service life, the system features
a stainless steel, 84" x 34" x 11" (213 x 86 x 30cm) cabinet
construction with 3" (76mm) insulation on all sides. The internal
test compartment measures 6" x 26" x 74" (15 x 66 x 188cm). A
30-amp circuit is required for operation. Meets ASTM C666,
procedure A; and AASHTO T161, procedure A.

The H-3185B uses on/off control of heating and cooling devices to
cycle between two temperatures. It can be set to cycle continuously
between two temperatures for a finite number of cycles and then
stop. When set to run for a finite number of cycles, ramp rate
between temperature extremes can be adjusted, as well as soak
duration at each extreme.
