The DRACARYS SPEED by Il Disgelo are high-performance stand-alone climatic and thermostatic chambers designed for environmental testing requiring high rates of temperature change and precise control of test conditions.
The range has been developed to reproduce rapid hot/cold cycles and severe environmental conditions, allowing qualification, validation and Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) activities to be accelerated on components, materials and systems.
The FX configurations are designed for tests requiring high average temperature-change rates, while the X configurations are intended for controlled linear temperature variations. Different performance levels are available according to chamber volume, temperature range and required test dynamics.
DRACARYS SPEED chambers integrate the refrigeration system, air treatment, heating, humidity management and control architecture within a stand-alone structure, maintaining the industrial design philosophy of the DRACARYS family.
They are designed to provide:
- high heating and cooling rates;
- precise temperature control;
- relative humidity control in climatic configurations;
- high stability and uniformity of test conditions;
- programming of dynamic thermal and thermo-hygrometric cycles;
- management of ramps, dwell times and automatic sequences;
- acquisition and recording of test parameters;
- integration with sensors, external equipment and test benches;
- continuous operation for accelerated testing and ESS cycles.
The chambers are suitable for applications in the automotive, e-mobility, battery, electronics, aerospace, defence, industrial components and research sectors, where rapid, repeatable and controlled environmental variations are required.
The DRACARYS SPEED range is available in different volumes, temperature ranges and thermal-dynamic performance levels, allowing the most suitable configuration to be selected according to the specific test methodology.
