Environmental simulation
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
