the working space is conditioned

alternatively by the hot and cold

compartments.

Thermal shock chambers

The Dry Corrosion Test Cabinet (DCTC™) is designed to

highlight the corrosion processes on painted metallic

surfaces in a fast and easily reproducible manner. The

main technical features of the systems are:

- Short time required for test execution;

- Simulated corrosion exactly corresponding to the real

corrosion observed “in the field”;

- Repeatibility of tests conditions;

Tests in DCTC™ equipment are carried out according to

Italian UNI 9399 (filiform corrosion) and UNI 9590 (scab

corrosion).

The DCTC™ systems can also perform the standard salt

spray tests, (according to BS and ASTM), continuous salt

spray tests, alternate salt spray tests (DIN) and have also

been customised to suit the specific needs of companies

such as FIAT, FORD, NISSAN etc. In addition, DCTC™

systems can be used to perform “wetting” (DIN 50017),

and VDA tests.

The footprint of 600 and 1200 l models

(fiberglass external execution) has been

reduced to minimum thanks to a basic

configuration that does not include the

salt solution tank, however available as

option (200 l).

2300 l (stainless steel external

execution) basic configuration includes a

120 l integrated salt solution tank

(additional 200 l tank available as

option).

Accelerated testing is used to detect

and correct any inherent design and

manufacturing flaws and to determine

product reliability. Typically a series of

individual and combined stresses such as

multi-axis vibration, temperature

cycling and product power cycling are

applied in steps of increasing intensity.

Test time is compressed with the

accelerated stresses, leading to earlier

product maturity.

The HALT method (Highly Accelerated

Life Testing) is mainly utilised to carry

out timely corrective actions during the

design phase of the product while the

HASS method (Highly Accelerated Stress

Screening) is performed to detect

defects during the production phase of

the product.

Benefits:

- Fast design and process maturation

- Reduced total engineering costs

- Reduced production and warranty costs

- Earlier and mature product introduction

- Higher MTBF

- Greatly reduced manufacturing screening costs

- Faster corrective action for design problem

CALORIMETERS

For domestic air conditioners, specific standards of reference are in use in all

industrialized countries, establishing how they are to be tested and

permitting a clear-cut classification on the basis of both their functioning

parameters and their energy efficiency.

As a result, ATT has decided to develop a line of standard calorimeters

capable of covering practically all test and qualification needs for domestic

air conditioning systems, both split and monoblock, either functioning

exclusively as air conditioners or also as heat pumps.

Two models are available, making it possible to work on conditioners of a

maximum capacity of 12 kW and 20 kW, respectively. Tests can be conducted

in accordance with EC standard ISO 5151-2010, keeping in mind that it is very

similar to the equivalent standards used in other industrial areas.

The calorimeters come complete with our WinKratos software package, the

product of years of experience in the field, which simplifies the running of

the tests and provides an immediate reading of the significant parameters.

Altitude test chambers

Aerospace technology requires an absolute reliability of devices,

components and equipment on board which often have human lives

depending on them.

ACS has been involved in vacuum testing since 1953 and have designed

and developed a complete range of standard chambers for vacuum test

down to 100 pascal (1mbar) or high vacuum, on special request.

These chambers have the same accessories as the thermostatic and

climatic chambers.

ACS standard altitude test chambers

can be supplied with 150, 500 and

1.000 litres capacity, with a unique

wall thermoregulation system for

optimized performances at pressures

lower than 20.000 pascal (200 mbar).

The test room thermoregulation is by

means of a radiating technique.

500 and 1000 l models can be supplied

in the ES version, designed for

Environmental Stress (ESS) and ideal

for reliability growth processes where

temperature rates of change of

5ºC/min are pre requisite.


•Altitude test chambers are now equipped with the new all-in-

one software MyKratos™ allowing to manage, monitor and assist

the chamber through mobile (smartphone – tablets) and desktop

(PC) devices, using WiFi, Ethernet, or mobile connections.
