Small Climatic Chamber
The small climate chamber is ideal for test factors such as temperature and humidity. It is also possible to connect to the large climate chamber and climatic wind tunnel through an inter-chamber door. This permits the insertion of a test bench to effect a 'three-chamber' mode.
Sectors
ACE’s climatic chambers are suitable for many different sectors. Any product, component or idea that needs climatic validation or testing will find significant value in this chamber.
Testing examples
- cold or hot starts for vehicles
- human trial tests
