Test Facility Description
A climatic chamber with huge possibilities
In the climatic test chamber, providing a volume of approximately 900 m3, large components, structures and functional systems can be tested under realistic atmospheric sea conditions.
The climatic test chamber is the only commercially available in Northern Europe providing a combination of three different environmental systems to perfectly simulate an offshore environment:
- Temperature control
- Humidity control
- Salt spray.
The three environmental parameters can be individually controlled or be programmed as combined effects to simulate the harsh offshore atmosphere as realistically as possible.
Can your system withstand the environment?
In addition to the relatively simple exposure tests, accele-rated tests can be conducted. An accelerated test can run with single or combined effects designed to react on a particular element of the test subject.
Furthermore, a variety of land-based equipment can be tested. Examples include onshore wind turbines, transportation systems, radar systems, air-conditioning systems, traffic-regulating systems, warning systems and lighting systems.
Testing of functional systems
The climatic chamber is especially well suited for testing functional systems e.g. a crane system, an engine or a hydraulic system.
The climatic chamber is located inside a large test hall, which allows for testing functional split-systems. An example is a heating/cooling system consisting of both indoor and outdoor modules, where one part can be located and manipulated inside the climatic chamber while the other part is located in the test hall.
In this way virtually all systems can be tested and verified for both corrosion resistance and for desired performance under a variety of atmospheric conditions.
Customised tests
Testing in the climatic chamber can be customised to meet your specific demands. If you need assistance in the process of designing the test for your needs, we shall be happy to guide you. The climatic chamber is also capable of performing according to a number of standards.
