Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses Aralab's solar simulation chambers, which are designed to simulate real-world aging by combining climate factors such as temperature, humidity, and irradiance. These chambers are used to accelerate material degradation testing and ensure compliance with standards.
Applications: The chambers are applicable in various industries including automotive (interior trim, polymers, adhesives, electronics), photovoltaics (PV modules), and materials & coatings (polymers, paints, composites).
Standards: The chambers comply with standards such as DIN 75220 and IEC 60904-9.
TESTA 1000 Solar: This model integrates a full-spectrum light source with precise climate control, allowing for programmable irradiation profiles alongside temperature and humidity. Key features include a 2500 W OSRAM HMI light source, up to 1200 W/m² irradiance, and optional metrology tools like pyranometers and UV radiometers.
Specifications: The chambers offer a volume of ~1000 L, irradiance up to 1200 W/m², and a spectrum range of 280–800 nm. Climate control ranges from -52°C to +150°C with varying humidity levels depending on radiation status.
Control and Data Management: The ClimaPlus HMI and FitoLog software suite allow for real-time tracking, data logging, and remote diagnostics. Optional closed-loop irradiance control enhances traceability.
Walk-In Solutions: Aralab provides engineered-to-order walk-in climatic rooms with integrated solar simulation, tailored to specific project requirements. These include custom airflow, lamp layout, and control logic.
Metrology and Safety: The chambers are equipped with instruments like pyranometers and UV radiometers for monitoring. Safety features include thermal/humidity protection, alarms, and interlocks.
Additional Features: Some walk-in projects can integrate rain and snow systems for comprehensive environmental simulation.
Installation and Services: Aralab offers site surveys, application reviews, and various support services including FAT/SAT, IQ/OQ, operator training, and maintenance plans.
Contact Information: For further inquiries, Aralab can be contacted via email at [email protected] or through their website www.aralab.pt.

SOLAR SIMULATION CHAMBERS WHY SOLAR SIMULATION? Real-world aging rarely happens from temperature or humidity alone. Combined stress — heat, cold, moisture and irradiance — accelerates and better represents material degradation. Aralab chambers let you program climate and light together, repeatably and traceably, to speed development and demonstrate compliance. Applications • Automotive — interior trim, polymers, adhesives, electronics, harnesses. • Photovoltaics — PV modules and components under controlled irradiance. • Materials & Coatings — polymers, paints, composites, packaging. Standards...

SOLAR SIMULATION CHAMBERS I7] For environment simulation beyond irradiance, selected walk-in projects can integrate rain and snow systems. Using dedicated water/air atomizing nozzles and a programmable ClimaPlus profile, users can set intensity/time curves and synchronize with temperature/humidity cycles. Floors include peripheral drainage; ventilation speed is adjustable to suit the scenario. Typical test areas are defined during the project phase. • Power: 3-phase (regional variants); lamp power cabinets specified per system. • Cooling: air- or water-cooled condensers. • Water: demineralized...
