Drive-In Test Chamber/Drive-in Test Room

  • The Drive-In Test Chamber LEDTCR is an environmental room sized for automobiles. It conditions a whole vehicle over temperature and humidity and can add the conditions vehicle test methods call for: a running engine, radiant heating and road simulation. Working volume and inner dimensions are built to order, so the facility where the room will stand and its planned use are defined at the start of the project.

    How it works

    Sirocco fans circulate air across a stainless steel heater, a finned evaporator and a surface-evaporation humidifier. Dehumidification uses ADP critical dew point cooling, and the refrigeration system uses a compressor with an air- or water-cooled condenser. PID digital controllers drive solid state relays. An enlarged MAP conditioning system supplies the extra refrigeration and airflow a vehicle load needs.

    The floor can carry interfaces for a chassis dynamometer or a four-post road simulator supplied by others. Infrared lamps, adjustable in height and angle, heat vehicle surfaces to reveal deformation and other quality problems. When the engine runs inside, conditioned fresh air replaces combustion air and the exhaust is removed from the chamber.

    Special floor interfaces to allow use of these additional types of equipment supplied by other vendors.

    Infrared Lighting

    Infrared systems to create radiant surface heating of vehicles to look for deformation and other quality problems. These systems can be adjusted vertically and angled to ensure even coverage.

    Running vehicle

    From cold-start to high-heat stress, a running engine is a common need, but complicated requirement fresh air must be conditioned and introduced to the chamber to make up for that used in combustion. Also the exhaust must be safely removed from the chamber.
