Other areas
If we think about the conditions in which everyday objects are sometimes used, it’s easy to understand how important testing is to guarantee maximum performance in severe usage conditions.
From the mechanical to the chemical industries, by way of the world of cultural heritage, the uses for climatic chambers can be extended to a variety of areas, both for research and for commercial purposes in the quality control process.
R&D
Laboratories, universities and research institutes are among the main users of climatic chambers, due to the nature of their activities aimed at studying phenomena that are not fully known.
FOODS
The food industry use climatic chambers to test the shelf-life of food and the resistance of protective packaging.
CONSTRUCTION
In construction, thermoclimatic cycles are carried out to study the effect of different environmental conditions on infrastructures, and on the resistance and aging of their components.
ENERGY
ACS chambers are also used to evaluate exterior building elements equipped with integrated modules for the production of electricity or heat using solar energy technologies, to evaluate the energy efficiency of HVAC systems, and to carry out tests on photovoltaic panels.
PHARMACEUTICS
Pharmaceutical companies use climatic chambers to determine the expiration period of a drug, i.e. the time frame in which the active ingredients it contains remain unchanged and within what maximum time the drug will still be usable.

CHEMICAL AND MATERIALS INDUSTRY
Climatic tests are done on chemical components and materials to test the reaction of compounds or materials, such as changes in state or the stability of molecules, under certain environmental conditions.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND METALWORKING
The mechanical engineering and metalworking industry uses climatic chambers to investigate the effect of different environmental settings on mechanical components.
FASHION
In the fashion industry, environmental simulation tests are done out to check the performance of accessories such as metal buckles and parts and the aging of fabrics and leathers.
CULTURAL HERITAGE
ACS contributes to the preservation of precious articles of the cultural heritage with its climatic chambers developed for the preserving of ancient manuscripts, or the famous and challenging project created to house the Ötzi mummy.
