Air Treatment (ATU)
Innovative Air Treatment Units (ATUs) : Customised Solutions for Challenging Testing Scenarios by CVMS Climatic The air treatment unit (ATU) is designed to provide a solution to the problem faced when the test item cannot easily be accommodated inside a standard test chamber or even a walk-in facility. It may be that the dimensions will not fit or perhaps there is a test rig or apparatus that also needs to be installed either inside or outside the conditioned test area. A simple insulated enclosure is constructed around the test item, keeping any mechanical rigs or electronic test equipment safely outside. The ATU will condition air to the correct temperature before delivery to the test item via insulated hoses. Long-term conditioning or temperature cycling can be applied, and our standard ATU model will comply with many of the test standards in the aerospace, automotive, and electronics industries. ATUs can be designed and built to meet specific requirements and bespoke enclosures, hoses or insulated ducting can also be supplied.

Battery Testing
Meeting the Demands of Battery Testing for the Electrified Transport Sector Future
Global demand drives new technologies and brings new challenges. One example is the electrification of the transport sector, and this has been deemed crucial if we are to meet current emissions targets. By 2040 more that 30% of public transport is expected to be electric and there could be as many as 300m EVs on our roads.
With demand on the increase, the test industry as had to keep pace and CVMS ˚Climatic has developed a range of test chambers that will meet the demands of battery testing.
EUCAR has produced a scale to define the level of danger and type of potential hazard associated with the failure of a lithium-ion battery. Our chambers are designed to not only provide the conditions for battery testing but also detect and deal with any potential hazard caused by a battery failure.
This ranges from the installation of a hydrogen detector, alarm and purge system that will deal with early signs of failure up to containment and extinguishing system in the event of a major malfunction including explosion.

Combined Climate - Vibration
CVMS Climatic : Integrated Test Chambers for Precise Climate and Vibration Testing
CVMS Climatic design and build environmental test chambers to work with all manufacturers and models of electro-dynamic and mechanical vibration test systems to provide combined climate and vibration test solutions.
The chambers are mounted on rails and can also be equipped with an elevator which makes precise horizontal and vertical positioning over a shaker, head expander, or slip table a simple operation. Bespoke gasket sets provide the seal between the shaker and the chamber environment and thermal barriers can also be supplied to protect the vibration system from extreme temperatures.
We can match a chamber with the customer’s existing shaker system or provide a turnkey package of environmental chamber and vibration system to meet customers’ precise test requirements.
As these chambers are built to order, it is very easy to customise the temperature range and performance and humidity control as required.

Vacuum Drying
Revolutionise Your Drying Processes with Our Versatile Vacuum Drying Ovens - Ideal for Sensitive Components and Precise Heat Testing
Our range of vacuum drying ovens have many applications, including drying out pcbs, electrical components and small assemblies, other components, and materials and, if required, vacuum storage. It can also be used for testing the above for tolerance to heat and for processes such as curing, annealing and baking.
Vacuum drying is an essential ‘mass-transfer’ operation to remove moisture; it is generally used for the drying of substances that are hygroscopic and heat sensitive and is based on the principle of creating a vacuum that will decrease the pressure below the vapour pressure of the moisture. In other words, it reduces the ‘boiling point’ of the liquid to a safe level.
It can be a useful tool for solid products that are heat sensitive. Drying is an essential operation in a variety of chemical process industries such as food and pharmaceuticals.
Vacuum Ovens work better than conventional ovens because they remove a potential source of contamination.
For example, heating components and materials to high temperatures in conventional ovens can cause rapid oxidation, which is usually undesirable.
