- Operating temperature inside the chamber:
- Temperature gradient for heating and cooling according to IEC 60068-3-5
- Average value, measured in supply air, without thermal load
- Thermal compensation values depending on power type
- Walk-in chamber size: Due to the different types of test equipment, the chamber size has optimal dimensions.
- Cell test chamber size: Optimized solutions for cell testbeds result in balanced chamber sizes.
- Insulation material: Depending on the safety level, polyurethane or mineral wool insulation can be chosen.
- Cooling water flow: Domestic water connection reduces the need for cooling power, thus reducing the energy consumption of the chiller.
- Flooding option: Especially when testing battery prototypes, critical thermal problems can occur with the device under test. Flooding the chambers protects the surrounding building from major damage.
-
Safety system: AVL offers a well-designed safety system to achieve Hazard Level 4 or 6 for testbeds.
- Safety system: AVL offers a well-designed safety system to achieve Hazard Level 4 or 6 for testbeds.
- Outdoor installation: A complete thermal test stand can be installed in a container.
