Evironmental Climatic Chamber

 

Items

Details

Description

The Environmental Climatic Chamber is a
device to replicate the climate condition, where the humidity and temperature
can be controlled. It consists of separated sides, namely the cold and the
hot sides, which can be used simultaneously or separately.

The device is useful in studying building
insulation, material properties in different climatic environments and many
more.
