The patented system for temperature control of wall, ceiling, or floor surfaces is primarily used in test benches for investigating thermal comfort, analyzing air flows, and measuring the performance of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems.
Capillary tube systems integrated into the entire or partial surface of the cover plates ensure homogeneous temperature distribution across the surface of the elements. The excellent static and thermal insulation properties of polyurethane sandwich elements are retained.
Case study: Climate chamber for Combined Energy Lab 2.0
Concept
The climate chamber has a modular design so that various issues relating to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technology can be investigated under realistic conditions on a scientific scale.
A defined indoor climate can be set by actively controlling the temperature of the entire, appropriately discretized room enclosure construction and using mechanical ventilation and air conditioning.
