Chambers for E-Motor, e-Axle and Powertrain Testing
Il Disgelo developed for TEXA two DOT TCEM climatic systems dedicated to electric motor and electric drivetrain testing: a 1.5 m³ chamber for E-Motor applications and a 6.0 m³ system with separate ACU for e-Axle, powertrain and larger systems.
Both configurations allow temperature and humidity to be controlled directly around the DUT while maintaining integration with dynamometers, cooling circuits and data acquisition systems.
Developed Solution
The 1.5 m³ chamber is designed for integration with a test bench and dynamometer, with the air-treatment and refrigeration units installed externally and connected through flexible ducts.
The 6.0 m³ system uses a modular structure with a separate ACU, developed for larger DUTs and higher thermal loads.
The solution includes:
- 1.5 m³ and 6.0 m³ systems;
- −40/+125 °C temperature range;
- humidity up to 95% RH;
- temperature change rates up to 4 K/min;
- integration with dynamometers and test benches;
- feedthroughs for shafts, wiring and fluids;
- DUT thermal-load management;
- CliMaLogic® control;
- integration with external data acquisition systems.
