TITLE:
Hygrothermal chamber for accelerated aging of facade elements
DESCRIPTION:
The hygrothermal chamber was designed to test the hygrothermal response or accelerated aging of samples under controlled conditions by establishing and cycling different hygro-thermal conditions with standardized water spraying on the sample. It operates within arbitrary settings in a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C and a relative humidity range of 10% to 98%. The large interior of the chamber, 2.16 x 2.30 x 3.20 m, allows relatively large samples to be tested. Due to its flexible parameters, it can be used both for research work and for various standard and non-standard tests. Among the standardized tests, these are especially hygrothermal testing of non-ventilated facade systems (ETICS) in accordance with ETAG 004. According to this methodology, it is possible to test two facade samples with an area of 3.50 × 2.40 m at the same time, under the same hygrothermal conditions. Access to the equipment is possible by prior arrangement. The price of the investigation depends on the complexity of the experiment.
