Freeze-Thaw Cycling Test Chamber and Chest
The test chamber of the temperature test chest enables fully automated cyclic testing of frost exposure and thawing processes—
either under water or by means of defined spraying.
The system is designed for reproducible freeze-thaw cycling tests and enables standards-compliant simulation of practice-relevant environmental conditions.
The required test temperatures are achieved with high control accuracy and temperature homogeneity.
Precise control and regulation technology ensures stable process control and high repeatability of test cycles, while providing simple operation and reliable monitoring.
For precise recording of the temperature profile, an additional Pt100 temperature sensor integrated in the test chamber can be used.
This enables measurement and documentation of the core temperature in a reference sample, thereby supporting standards-compliant validation of test conditions.

The test chamber or test chest is designed for use in research and development as well as for industrial quality testing. It is suitable for conducting experimental investigations and validation tests as well as for standardized series and acceptance tests on building materials under reproducible and standards-compliant conditions.

Dual Climate Test Chambers / Drying Chambers
The system focuses on investigating the hygric behavior of building materials under combined temperature and humidity stress. Key material parameters such as capillary conductivity and water vapor diffusion can be precisely determined and evaluated under defined boundary conditions.
The building material samples are integrated into an intermediate wall grid and deliberately exposed to different climatic loads. This enables realistic stress scenarios as well as transient moisture and temperature profiles to be reproducibly simulated.
The system is also designed for long-term tests to reliably analyze time-dependent material changes.

The dual climate test chamber features two thermally separated test chambers that can be operated independently and in parallel. Each usable space is equipped with an independent control and regulation unit and aggregate technology, enabling different climate profiles to be realized simultaneously. This provides high flexibility in test planning, increases system utilization, and ensures reproducible test results under variable operating conditions.
