New test chamber for hydrogen vehicles
German engineering skills enable intensive testing of hydrogen models - but significantly cheaper.
New test chamber for hydrogen vehicles
Vehicles are also exposed to intensive light irradiation for function and aging tests. Tests of fuel cell vehicles require special safety precautions because they are powered by the volatile and explosive gas hydrogen. Weiss Technik, a German company based in Reiskirchen, has become the first in the world to develop a specialized test chamber for fuel cell vehicles. Your ATEX safety concept continuously analyzes the air in the test chamber and detects even the smallest traces of the explosive gas. In the event of an error message, the safety PLC switches off the system immediately. To prevent electrostatic charging and sparking, the vehicles in the test chamber are grounded.
A technical innovation from Weiss Technik is the puncture-proof double filter disk system between the test chamber and the lighting units. The sunlight emitters are permanently installed in the ceiling of the test chamber. In order to precisely dose the radiation intensity, sensors regulate the desired intensity directly on the vehicle. This setting process only takes a few seconds. Since this technology makes the mechanics for adjusting the height of sunlight spotlights unnecessary, the new product from Weiss Technik is 30 percent more cost-effective than conventional sunlight simulations.
