Climatic environmental simulation for rail vehicles

We carry out tests and inspections on parts and components under variable climatic environmental conditions - in particular strength tests, functional tests and the simulation of ageing.
 

Fields of application

  • Strength and functional tests on parts and components under the influence of humidity, high and low temperatures, high and low pressure, salt, dust and sun
  • Simulation of ageing by exposure to different temperature and climate cycles

Services

  • Environmental qualification accompanying development from the beginning of the design-phase to the finished product
  • Reproducible testing under worldwide conditions
  • Endurance tests, cold start and warm-up tests
  • Climate testing of hydrogen-powered systems and high-voltage components
