Enviclone - Model MIL-STD-810G -Drive-in Solar Radiation (Sunshine) Climatic Vehicle Chamber
This is one tailored walk-in environmental simulation climatic vehicle chamber for testing the whole vehicle as per test standards including MIL-STD-810G method 505.5 namely the Solar Radiation (Sunshine) test procedures. Solar radiation climatic chamber simulates heating, actinic effects.
The Climatic Vehicle Chamber is used to evaluate materiel likely to be exposed to solar radiation during its life cycle in the open in hot climates. The purpose is to determine the heating effects of direct solar radiation on material and help identify the actinic (photodegradation) effects of direct solar radiation.
The width, length and height of test space is customizable. Number of solar lamps also depends on specific test requirement.
Test Standards
MIL-STD-810 Method 505.5 | GJB 150.7A-2009 | DIN 75220 and other equivalent test standards or requirements.
- Procedure I – Cycling (heating and/or minimal actinic effects). Procedure I is useful in determining the temperature increase (over ambient) of materiel caused by solar loading.
- Procedure II – Steady State (actinic effects). Procedure II may be used to simulate the ultraviolet effect of solar radiation at different locations and altitudes by using various radiation sources that allow reasonable comparison to measurements of these natural solar radiation conditions.
