Climatic test of large components
In the climatic test chamber, large components, structures and functional systems can be tested under realistic atmospheric sea conditions.
A climate chamber with great possibilities
With a volume of 900 m3, the climate chamber is the largest commercially available climate chamber in Northern Europe. It offers a combination of three different environmental systems to perfectly simulate extreme environments:
- temperature control
- moisture control
- salt spray (fog)
The three environmental parameters can be controlled individually or programmed as combined effects and thus simulate the harsh offshore atmosphere and other climatic conditions as realistically as possible.
In addition to the relatively simple exposure tests, accelerated 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.
Can your system withstand the environment?
Offshore equipment
In the climate chamber, we can test equipment and constructions for offshore use, such as parts for wind turbines, ships and offshore installations.
Land-based equipment
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, such as crane systems, engines or hydraulic systems.
Testing of functional split-systems
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.
This method allows virtually all systems to be tested and verified for corrosion resistance and 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.
Thorough testing creates robust products
Thorough testing, evaluation and optimization of your equipment before installation will help ensure the lifetime robustness of your product. In the climate chamber, we can test according to a large number of standards as needed.
Our corrosion and metallurgy experts will be available to help during the entire design and production chain. This will enable you to find the right solution for your product and avoid unexpected corrosion, material damage, or operational failures.
Strategic partnership for the benefit of industry
FORCE Technology has assisted industries worldwide with challenges relating to materials and systems for more than 75 years. Our vast experience is one of our most essential values to our customers.
However, we are constantly striving to develop advanced materials and testing solutions. Therefore, FORCE Technology has formed a strategic partnership with Lindoe Offshore Renewable Centre (LORC) in order to offer tests of large components and systems.
The partnership between LORC and FORCE Technology has resulted in establishing Lindoe Component and Structure Testing A/S. The facility for developing and testing of large components and systems has been established at Odense Port, Denmark.
