Italian Climate Chambers for Testing Electric Motors and Powertrains
TCEM climatic chambers by Il Disgelo are designed to perform thermal and climatic tests on electric motors, e-Axle systems, transmissions and complete powertrains, ensuring controlled, uniform and repeatable test conditions.
Each chamber is custom-engineered according to the test bench to be integrated, the required climatic conditions, the thermal loads generated, the applicable standards and the characteristics of the installation environment.
The TCEM platform makes it possible to assess the performance, reliability and durability of systems under demanding operating conditions by reproducing the temperature and humidity stresses encountered during real-world operation within a controlled environment.
Integration with Test Benches
TCEM chambers are designed for direct integration with testing systems and laboratory infrastructure, including:
- dynamometers and external load systems;
- electric motor test benches;
- test benches for transmissions, gearboxes and e-Axle systems;
- back-to-back test configurations;
- data acquisition and control systems;
- complex industrial layouts.
The chamber and its conditioning system are sized by considering both the climatic conditions to be reproduced and the heat generated by the test specimen and equipment during operation.
This configuration maintains stable climatic conditions even during dynamic tests, extended test cycles and applications involving significant heat dissipation.

Fields of Application
TCEM climatic chambers are used across a wide range of sectors:
- automotive and electric mobility;
- motorsport;
- railway;
- industrial transmissions and powertrains;
- electric motors, gearboxes and actuators;
- research and development laboratories;
- testing and validation centres.
Custom-Engineered Climatic Testing Solutions
TCEM chambers make it possible to perform durability, reliability, performance and validation tests on mechanical and electromechanical systems under different temperature and humidity conditions.
Each solution is configured by considering:
- temperature and humidity ranges;
- required rates of change;
- dimensions and characteristics of the test specimen;
- thermal loads generated during testing;
- test bench configuration and power;
- arrangement of motors, transmissions and load systems;
- required access points, technical feedthroughs and interfaces;
- stability and uniformity of the climatic conditions;
- applicable standards and test procedures;
- safety devices and interlocks;
- available space and installation constraints.
The chambers can also be configured for integration with cooling circuits, data acquisition systems, cabling, drive shafts and dedicated automated equipment.
Complex Climatic and Functional Testing
The validation of electric motors and powertrains often requires climatic stresses to be combined with the dynamic operation of the system to assess its behaviour under real-world conditions or conditions more severe than those encountered during normal use.
TCEM chambers make it possible to:
- simulate extreme heat, cold and humidity conditions;
- perform static and dynamic climatic cycles;
- conduct durability and extended-operation tests;
- test electric motors, transmissions, gearboxes and e-Axle systems under load;
- implement back-to-back test configurations;
- assess performance, reliability and long-term durability;
- identify anomalies, performance limitations and potential design issues;
- integrate customer-specific test procedures.
DOT Control Technology
All TCEM climatic chambers can be equipped with:
- DOT Touch Panel;
- proprietary ClimaLogic® software;
- industrial PLC;
- DIDRUS remote supervision, management and data logging.
The control platform makes it possible to program, manage and record climatic cycles while coordinating chamber operation with the test bench and maintaining the same technological architecture used throughout the Il Disgelo DOT range.
Reliability for Industrial Applications
TCEM chambers are designed for continuous operation and seamless integration into testing, research, and validation processes for electric motors, transmissions, e-Axles, and complete powertrain systems.
Their robust construction, high-efficiency insulation, system sizing based on the required thermal loads, and customizable interfaces ensure a stable, reliable solution suitable even for the most demanding testing applications.
The custom design approach allows each chamber to be configured according to the component or system being tested, the required climatic performance, the characteristics of the test bench, and the available installation space.
