The refrigerants R404 a, R23 we used are CFC- free and admitted after the convention by Montreal and the executions of Lon-don and Copenhagen. Also the polyurethane foam has been used for thermal isolation is CFC free and guarantees in contrast to fibre glass a stable performance over time.All connections and welding in the refrigeration system have been carefully checked by means of helium leak detectors (mass spectrometers) for absolute seal to bend forward against refrigerant losses, to ensure a perfect seal. The compressors are scrwed on the impulse engine and therefore simple to repair.Specific product-oriented tests require maximum care and flexibility even when selecting the test system Testing technology and cycles should be matched with the requirements and environment to a maximum possible extent to en-sure that investigations can be performed safely and efficiently in a long term.Standard series of construction do not always offer the optimal solution and realization of testing jobs. Products are very often tested and stressed insufficiently or excessively.We develop and construct customized systems and individual special solutions for environment simulation.Modem ModemRemote control Remote control centerTIRA- ServicePrinterPC(HOST- Computer)SIMATIC NETother chamber manufacturerTIRA - chamber and systemsMPI – Bus for other chamberproducerGatewayVisualizationNetwork principle:Basic performance• Operation panel with LCD Display Key board with 8 Function keys Alphanumeric keyboard with huge display• SPC (storage program control) Simatic S 7 in a modular upgradable performance• Serielle Interface RS 232Performance• Menue guided and easily programmable Graphical measurements evulation• Service- and Help functions• Industrial data communication• Open bussystem- architecture for networking Measure and stimulation of testsystems• Intranet- and Internetcommunikation• Complex Data Logging• Simatic S 7 Processvisualisation via Siemens Win CC Software• High data transmission speed with Profibus or MPI (Multi Point Interface)• Documentation and Data Logging• Open for costomized solutions• World wide service support• Telephon- Remote controlSiemens Simatic S7 Control SystemChambers to simulate environmental conditions(temperature, humidity, pressure, radiation, vibration)Shock test chambers(air/air, liquid/liquid, horizontal, vertical)Walk- In chambers(air bag test systems, sunlight simulation, plant growth chambers)Special altitude test chambers(space simulation, altitude climatic chambers)Combined vibration chamber systems(vertical and horizontal vibration systems)Versatile and flexible product rangeSpecial SystemsWalk- In climatic test chamber, 10 m3 Temperature vibration test chamber,special moveable designIn the new series of climatic- and temperature test chambers the most modern technologies of control, air conditioning and refrigeration technology are connec-ted to an efficient product for the environmental simu-lation.

It can be also used to disconnect the sup-ply of the device under test.UPS connection: (the UPS is an optional accessory) it is used for the supply of the microprocessor unit in order to guarantee data storage and acquisition even in case of power failureNo. 1 internal grid shelf Optional Environmental Simulation – Environmental ProtectionWith the development of trend-setting technologies for environmental simulation will be as well natural the application from environment- friendly refrigerants and isolation materials as an appropriate manufacturing. The refrigerants R404 a, R23 we used are CFC- free and admitted after the convention by Montreal and the executions of Lon-don and Copenhagen. Also the polyurethane foam has been used for thermal isolation is CFC free and guarantees in contrast to fibre glass a stable performance over time.All connections and welding in the refrigeration system have been carefully checked by means of helium leak detectors (mass spectrometers) for absolute seal to bend forward against refrigerant losses, to ensure a perfect seal. The compressors are scrwed on the impulse engine and therefore simple to repair.Specific product-oriented tests require maximum care and flexibility even when selecting the test system Testing technology and cycles should be matched with the requirements and environment to a maximum possible extent to en-sure that investigations can be performed safely and efficiently in a long term.Standard series of construction do not always offer the optimal solution and realization of testing jobs. Products are very often tested and stressed insufficiently or excessively.We develop and construct customized systems and individual special solutions for environment simulation.Modem ModemRemote control Remote control centerTIRA- ServicePrinterPC(HOST- Computer)SIMATIC NETother chamber manufacturerTIRA - chamber and systemsMPI – Bus for other chamberproducerGatewayVisualizationNetwork principle:Basic performance• Operation panel with LCD Display Key board with 8 Function keys Alphanumeric keyboard with huge display• SPC (storage program control) Simatic S 7 in a modular upgradable performance• Serielle Interface RS 232Performance• Menue guided and easily programmable Graphical measurements evulation• Service- and Help functions• Industrial data communication• Open bussystem- architecture for networking Measure and stimulation of testsystems• Intranet- and Internetcommunikation• Complex Data Logging• Simatic S 7 Processvisualisation via Siemens Win CC Software• High data transmission speed with Profibus or MPI (Multi Point Interface)• Documentation and Data Logging• Open for costomized solutions• World wide service support• Telephon- Remote controlSiemens Simatic S7 Control SystemChambers to simulate environmental conditions(temperature, humidity, pressure, radiation, vibration)Shock test chambers(air/air, liquid/liquid, horizontal, vertical)Walk- In chambers(air bag test systems, sunlight simulation, plant growth chambers)Special altitude test chambers(space simulation, altitude climatic chambers)Combined vibration chamber systems(vertical and horizontal vibration systems)Versatile and flexible product rangeSpecial SystemsWalk- In climatic test chamber, 10 m3 Temperature vibration test chamber,special moveable design TIRA GmbHTIRA GmbH delivers measuring and testing systems world-wide for indu-stry and research.
