Climatic Test Rooms /

Environmental Chambers - Car (Chamber 3) & Structure (Chamber 2) -

The climatic test room control system allows complex simulation programs to be created and executed. Set point and actual values of environmental conditions are recorded and available for future analysis. The chambers can be operated with or without personnel inside.
