Accelerated Weathering ProductsNOW Catalog - 27780 SolarConstantand High-Speed LightingCustom-Designed Solar Simulation SystemsAtlas® solar simulation systems such as walk-in chambers or full-scale test facilities are custom designed. These full-scale test facilities use a series of highly-coordinated metal halide lights to provide effective solar energy to meet the demanding testing needs of many industries, for example the automotive or solar energy industry. A Proven Light SourceThe Atlas radiation system uses special Metal Halide Global (MHG) lamps and glass filters to create a spectral distribution very close to natural sunlight. The combination of lamp, reflectors and filter offers high irradiance efficiency and superior spatial uniformity critical for solar simulation testing.Solar Simulation – with SolarConstantAn established application of Atlas radiation systems is the simulation of the solar spectral emission or total radiation (direct solar plus sky radiation). These solar simulation units – SolarConstant – are used to determine the aging behavior of organic materials, to optimize HVAC systems and to examine thermal effects. Solar simulation can also be an important tool in the development of solar energy conversion systems. The Atlas SolarConstant series offers adaptable systems to meet the requirements of various test configurations and fulfills applications that require or demand effective solar simulation.StandardsOptimal Performance Power SupplyTo achieve the best performance, an electronic power supply (EPS-Module) drives the lamp with square-wave current. This reduces modulation of radiation to less than +/-1 %, controls intensity and offers a stabilized power output even when incoming power varies. In addition, it provides the lamp optimal conditions for operation, extending the lamp life. Atlas provides SolarConstant systems specifically designed to comply with established test methods, such as: DIN 75220 EPA MIL-STD 810 SAEThis is a sample of global standards that can be met by this instrument. For more information on additional or specific standards, contact your local Atlas representative. Standards are subject to change without notice. This might lead to the inclusion or exclusion of certain instruments. 37Phone: +1.773.327.4520 www.atlas-mts.com |
