Drive-In Vehicle Test Chamber

ETC's climatic drive-in chamber design is based on our several years of experience in designing large size chambers operating at extreme environmental conditions. ETC's chamber uses the latest and most accurate sensors, controls, data acquisition system and is fully automated with a PC computer. The chamber creates very precise test conditions thus generating very accurate and repeatable results.

ETC's climatic chamber is constructed from modular insulated panels to form an insulated enclosure. The walls and ceiling panels are designed to handle stresses that are created due to expansion and contraction of the panels. The chamber floor is a heavy-duty floor, constructed with steel channels and lined with a stainless steel plate. The floor interfaces with the dynamometer pit and the side panels. Inside the chamber there is an air heating coil and air circulation blowers. A brine system with a low temperature chiller provides cooling and dehumidification. Heating is achieved with electric heaters.

The chamber also has a make-up air system to provide conditioned air for the pit and engine intake. Other subsystems include: wind speed simulation fan, solar simulation panels, and a hot road simulation system. The chamber is equipped with temperature, humidity and other sensors to monitor and control the chamber in order to conduct tests.
