Climatic test chamber for tests of large components
In the climatic test chamber, large components, structures and functional systems can be tested under realistic atmospheric sea conditions.
A climatic chamber with huge possibilities
The climatic test chamber is the largest 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.
