Temperature- and climate test chambers according to ATEX – VT3 / VC3 II 2G EEx IIB T3

Conforming to the Directive 94/9/EG (ATEX-Directive) a type certificate was issued allowing Vötsch Industrietechnik to manufacture ex-proof units of series VT3 / VC3 according to a defined production and test plan.

VT3, VC3 test chambers according to ATEX, Vötsch
Certain specimens release combustible substances which might become explosive if combined with air. Special measures are to be taken to prevent this mixture from exploding.

Conforming to the Directive 94/9/EG (ATEX-Directive) a type certificate was issued allowing Vötsch Industrietechnik to manufacture ex-proof units of series VT3 / VC3 according to a defined production and test plan.

Features

  • The units are designed for the performance of extreme climate values (e.g. long term tests at 85°C / 85%rh).
  • Extreme installation conditions – trouble-free operation can be guaranteed at ambient temperatures of up to 35°C.
  • Optimum air guidance and temperature distribution – better than ±1.5K spatially guaranteed.
  • Operation, monitoring and documentation of the test chamber are realised by the control and programming SIMPAC.
  • A clearly-arranged 8” TFT colour touch screen display serves as interface between man and machine (easy, menu-guided display, no programming knowledge required).
  • An easily legible CONTROLPAD for indication of actual values is integrated in the door.
  • An Ethernet interface for communication with a customer-provided computer system is available.
  • A USB interface for recording measured values via USB stick is additionally integrated. It guarantees complete documentation.
  • Monitoring and supervision possible from each workstation.
  • Highly accurate temperature and climate conditions are achieved by an auto-adaptive control system that continuously optimises the control behaviour.
  • Error diagnosis system and inspection system for support of maintenance and repair.
  • The hermetic refrigeration systems work with environmentally friendly refrigerants that are free from chlorine and have no ozone-reducing potential (CFC-free).
  • 2 stainless steel ports (50 and 125mm Ø) are installed as standard.
  • Central supply connections in back part of the system
  • Large and easily accessible water tank
  • Easily accessible maintenance elements guarantee minimum service times (condenser, water tank, psychrometer).
  • Self-cleaning humidity sensor, thus considerable increase in service life of psychrometer.
  • High humidification performance to fulfil modern test standards
  • Automatic water supply of humidification system with demineralised water.
  • Contamination of humidification water is prevented. The humidity bath flushing is standard.
  • Integrated switchable condensation protection prevents condensation formation on specimen during heat-up phase.
  • Low noise pressure level.
