Quality and performance are continually put to the test, from the warmest to the coldest climates, from the effect of corrosive agents to stresses during packaging, transport and storage. These factors could lead to breakage, failures or a reduction in product life. ACS Climatic Chambers are designed to support our customers in the development of a product that performs at its full potential.

The Compact Line of ACS Climatic and Thermostatic Chambers combines performance and flexibility. Their limited size and ability to do climatic and thermostatic tests makes them the ideal solution for those who do not have enough space for a large test laboratory.
The carrying out of climatic and thermostatic tests helps to reveal potential defects before the specimen passes into production, ensuring:

• A product of tested quality
• Savings on design costs
• Lower maintenance costs
• More satisfied customers

ACS Discovery My Climatic and Thermostatic Chambers guarantee high performance, a generous standard configuration and a large number of accessories for adapting to all the requests of our customers.

• The test helps to reveal potential defects before the specimen passes into production, ensuring:
• A product of tested quality
• Savings on design costs
• Lower maintenance costs
• More satisfied customers

The Discovery My ESS climate chambers were developed to help manufacturers detect product and manufacturing defects. Performing a stress screening test can reveal "infant mortality" and the failures of defective product components. These problems may occur after delivery of the product and also during the warranty period.

Using a climatic chamber for stress screening tests reduces:

• Field defects
• Warranty costs
• Time to market
• Infant mortality in the field
• Manufacturing costs

The ACS Climatic and Thermostatic Chambers for solar simulation tests allow the specimen to be subjected to tests that simulate the effects of sunlight. Performance, insulation, noise, and resistance to physical and mechanical losses are just some of the parameters tested. Exposure to sunlight can in fact damage the products, reduce their performance and shorten their service life.

The Discovery My range for solar simulation tests is available in the standard, energy saving and 5K/min versions, in different volumes, to meet every customer's needs

The ACS Climatic and Thermostatic Chambers with air treatment units make it possible to simulate the desired temperature and humidity inside the chamber and to convey the treated air to the inside of an external unit in which the specimen to be tested has been placed.

The Discovery My range with air treatment units is available in the standard, stability test, energy saving and 5K/min and stress screening test versions, in different volumes, to meet every customer's needs.

ACS Discovery My Climatic and Thermostatic Chambers cooled with LN2 are used when high cooling values are required.

Climatic chambers for thermal shock tests are used to subject the specimen to strong shocks by passing it suddenly and repeatedly from a hot temperature zone to a cold one. The specimen can cool or heat at different rates at different points, depending on the material. If exposure to repeated cycles cause large expansions and contractions in volume, the material could undergo strong mechanical stresses and sometimes break.

Climatic chambers for "liquid-to-liquid" thermal shock tests are used to test electronic components with strong shocks by passing them suddenly and repeatedly from a tank with hot liquid to one with cold liquid. The liquid used, whose physical state remains unchanged within the chamber temperature range, subjects the DUT (Device Under Test) to a strong shock that tests its resistance.

Corrosion is a chemical or electrochemical reaction between a material and its environment. This process causes the deterioration of the product and the loss of its initial characteristics.

Climatic chambers for corrosion testing can help predict the resistance of materials in order to estimate the life cycle of the components, compare different products and evaluate the behavior of a coating in a specific corrosive environment.

Using a climatic chamber for vibration tests allows the specimen to be subjected to a combination of different tests, such as: vibrations, temperature variations and climatic variations. This type of test is used to evaluate the resistance of components and equipment to combined climatic and mechanical stresses that can affect performance in conditions of normal use. Automotive and aerospace components are among the main categories of products that must be subjected to such tests to ensure reliability and safety for users.
