Environmental simulation with climate chambers - testing and optimizing products safely
In product development, it is crucial to test materials and products under realistic or extreme environmental conditions in order to ensure their quality, durability and performance in the long term. Environmental simulation with climate chambers makes it possible to precisely simulate temperature, humidity, UV and vibration loads and thus simulate the operating conditions during long-term operation in a practical manner. Our measuring and monitoring solutions support manufacturers and developers in precisely monitoring processes, recording all relevant data in a tamper-proof manner and using it for targeted optimization and quality assurance. In this way, development times can be shortened, costs reduced and sustainable, environmentally friendly products realized.
What advantages does an environmental simulation with Delphin offer you?
- Carry out practical long-term tests: Combine temperature, humidity, UV exposure and vibrations to reliably simulate real operating conditions.
- Seamless data collection and security: All measurement and climate data is stored in the device independently of the PC and can be retrieved at any time.
- Early fault detection: Automatic notifications by e-mail or SMS in the event of deviations enable immediate intervention and safeguard the test procedure.
- Detailed online analysis and visualization: The measurement technology software clearly displays current and historical data and supports rapid evaluation.
- Efficient development processes: Weak points and optimization potential are identified at an early stage in order to reduce development times and cut costs.
- Promoting sustainable product development: The precise test results help to develop durable and environmentally friendly products and reduce potential environmental damage.
The Delphin measuring devices record and permanently monitor the measured data of the test specimens and the climate data. Typical areas of application are
- Measurement of fuel evaporation in SHED chambers
- Corrosion tests on vehicle components
- Service life testing of fan motors
- Stability testing of pharmaceutical products
- Ageing tests on PV systems and components
- Simulation of indoor-outdoor environment for heating systems
- Development-accompanying measurement of refrigeration units and appliances
- Thermal cycling tests on car entertainment components
Practical example of an environmental simulation in climate chambers
Climate chamber tests for reliable automotive components
A manufacturer of hose clamps, pipe couplings and hoses for air, cooling water and fuel lines in the automotive sector tests its products in climate chambers under realistic conditions. Temperature, humidity and load cycles simulate environmental influences and operating conditions, such as those that occur in the engine compartment of a truck. Temperature changes, pressure cycles and movements are simulated on a charge air test bench in order to test the durability and function of the products in long-term operation.
The tests run around the clock for up to 2,000 hours and require seamless monitoring and archiving of all climate profiles, test parameters and measurement data. For this purpose ProfiMessage D devices from Delphin are used, which record all data securely and independently of the PC. Monitoring and analysis are carried out conveniently via the software ProfiSignal Klickswhich allows employees to centrally control and monitor all climate chambers and test specimens live from their workstation. This solution enables the manufacturer to ensure the quality and durability of its products, shorten development times and reliably meet the high requirements of the automotive industry.
