Product catalog summary
Overview: The SolarClimatic Series offers advanced solar simulation chambers designed for testing both indoor and outdoor conditions. These chambers are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to simulate various environmental parameters such as global irradiation, temperature, and humidity, making them ideal for testing material safety, lightfastness, and colorfastness of polymer components.
Options and Accessories: The series provides a range of accessories to enhance functionality, including IDF filters for indoor tests, insulated covers for expanded temperature ranges, misting equipment for climate tests, UV sensors, and regulation systems for black standard temperature. Additional tools include SolarTest sensors, RS 422/485 interfaces, printers, and SIMPATI software.
Technical Specifications: The chambers come in various sizes with volumes ranging from 340 to 3,400 liters. They feature Metal Halide (MH) or Metal Halide Global (MHG) lamps, with the latter recommended for tests requiring irradiance over 1,000 W/m². The MHG lamps offer advantages in spectral distribution and power regulation, making them suitable for aging tests according to standards like DIN 75220 and IEC 60068-2-5.
Performance and Design: The chambers are designed for ergonomic use with easy-to-access control units and touch screens. They allow for the simulation of both indoor and outdoor conditions, with test parameters programmable via user-configurable programs. The design includes spacious test chambers for large components, offering an economic alternative to larger solar simulation equipment.
Model Variants: The SC series includes models SC340, SC600, SC1000, and SC2000, each with specific features and capacities. The SC2000 model, for instance, provides a high radiation output suitable for medium to large components, utilizing either four MH lamps or two MHG lamps for optimal irradiation.
Conclusion: The SolarClimatic Series is a versatile and high-performance solution for simulating solar and climatic conditions, providing reliable testing environments for a wide range of applications in material and component testing.

SolarClimatic Series Solar Simulation Chambers OPTIONS A wide range of tailor-made accessories is available to further increase the comfort and functionality of the test units: • IDF filter for indoor tests. • Insulated cover: Expands the temperature range to -40 °C to +120 °C. • Misting equipment: Expands the test possibilities in the area of climate. • UV sensors: 280 nm to 320 nm and 320 nm to 400 nm. • Regulation of the black standard temperature: Improves reproducibility while simultaneously ensuring the consistency of the test conditions. • Black standard temperature sensor. • SolarTest sensor: 300 nm to 3,000 nm. • RS 422/485 interface. • Printer. • SIMPATI software. Differentiation. SC models are equipped with either MH (Metal Halide) or MHG (Metal Halide Global) lamps. Since both optical systems are very similar, both yield equally good results with respect to irradiance and its spatial distribution. However, the MHG lamp is recommended for tests requiring an irradiance of > 1,000 W/m². One important difference lies in the spectral distribution of the radiation that, at certain wavelengths, does not exhibit the energy peaks in the MHG spectrum that are found in the MH spectrum. These peaks can produce widely differing results in samples with a corresponding sensitivity. Another advantage of the MHG lamp lies in the ability to vary output across a specific range as well in the electronic power regulation that can, for example, compensate for mains fluctuations. All SC units are suitable for laboratory testing using simulated sunlight. The MHG models, with their powerful MHG lamps and specific spectral adjustment, are the best solution for the application area of aging tests (e.g., DIN 75220, IEC 60068-2-5, or MIL STD 810F).
