EURAC RESEARCH – ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING LAB

Company

The climatic chamber (1.3 x 1.5 x 2.2 m3 ) simulates accelerated life cycles to evaluate the degradation of the performance of industrial products such as photovoltaic modules, plastics and electronic components. Cycles include controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. Temperatures of -40 °C to + 90 °C and a relative humidity from 20% to 95% can be reproduced.

Products and services

The Angelantoni PV4500 climatic chamber incorporates a system of humidification, refrigeration, heating and dehumidification to fully control the conditions of temperature and humidity to which the test sample is subjected. Laboratory tests can become part of a broader collaboration between research and business that starts with the design of a prototype and ends with the creation of a product ready for the market, including simulation phases, specific tests and optimisation.
