Solar Radiation Chamber
The PAC series of climatic chambers are a great choice for cyclic low, high temperature and humidity tests. Built with the highest quality and reliability, this chamber can meet the most stringent testing needs of various international standards such as ASTM, IEC, MIL, DIN, etc.
The PAC series of climatic chambers are a great choice for cyclic low, high temperature and humidity tests. Built with the highest quality and reliability, this chamber can meet the most stringent testing needs of various international standards such as ASTM, IEC, MIL, DIN, etc.
With precision and reliability embedded into its DNA, it guarantees accurate and consistent results.
Revolutionary Plasma Lamp Technology: Transition from outdated Xenon or Metal Halide systems to our innovative plasma lamp, which emits sunlight directly (CIE 85, Tab. 4). This eliminates the necessity for filters, offering superior spectral stability and ensuring consistent UV light performance for up to 20,000 hours, significantly reducing maintenance costs in the process.
Cost-Effective Solar Radiation Testing: With a vision to make solar radiation testing accessible, we've merged top-tier performance with low maintenance through our Plasma Lamp technology. This effectively democratizes the solar radiation testing process, helping you save on costs without compromising on the quality of results.
