Climate simulations (without solar simulator) in a walk-in climate chamber (CTS GmbH, Hechingen; construction year 2013), with a usable interior space of 40 m³ (5,50m (l) x 2,45 (w) x 2,90 m (h)) between -55 °C and +85 °C, high humidity variability (10% to 98% relative humidity; +5°C to +82°C in dew point range) and fast response time. Typical applications are:

•     Performance and fatigue tests on components exposed to weather conditions
•     Performance tests on vehicles with high-efficiency drives under winter and summer conditions
•     Performance tests on building services systems, especially electric and thermally driven heat pumps/cooling units
•     Building-physics product characterization of components and systems

Combining two adjacent indoor climate cells, a so-called double climate chamber is available for, e.g., evaluating facade-integrated building technology or the dynamic behavior of indoor heating/cooling and ventilation.
