POLYTECHNIC PROJECT OF TURIN

Calorimetric Climate Chamber

The Calorimetric Climate Chamber designed and built by Il Disgelo for the Polytechnic University of Turin is an essential tool for research and experimentation in the field of energy efficiency and sustainability.

This chamber allows controlled environmental conditions to be simulated and the thermal performance of materials, components and systems to be measured accurately, with a specific focus on energy balance.


Main features
Precise temperature and humidity control to reproduce real operating conditions;

Integrated calorimetric system for accurate heat exchange measurements;

High-performance insulating structure to minimise energy loss;

User-friendly control interface with dedicated software for data and test parameter management;

Compatibility with standard communication protocols for integration into more complex monitoring systems;

Tailor-made for the specific research needs of the Polytechnic University of Turin.
