We support our customers right from the planning stage and are familiar with the legal requirements, practical necessities, and economic aspects of test chamber projects.
Test chamber for aerodynamic testing in the automotive industry
Wind and driving resistance have a direct impact on fuel consumption, driving noise, and cooling performance in vehicles. That is why vehicle manufacturers and OEMs need test chambers for complete vehicles in which realistic tests with simulated wind and drag can be carried out.
Weiss Technik is a long-standing partner to the automotive industry and develops semi-wind tunnel systems for complete vehicles that simulate different wind speeds, temperatures, and humidity levels. These are also suitable for testing the performance of HVAC systems under various climatic influences and extreme conditions.
Precise testing of wind and climate conditions
Precise simulation of climate and road conditions is necessary to test the aerodynamics and functionality of vehicles under different wind speeds and climatic conditions. The test scenarios must deliver accurate results and be reliably reproducible.
Complying with automotive testing standards
Automotive testing standards specify exact requirements for temperature and humidity values as well as permissible deviations. Powerful and precise testing equipment ensures that these values are reliably maintained in climate tests throughout the entire test period.
Capturing measurement data comprehensively
Semi-wind tunnel systems use integrated measurement systems to optimize and evaluate data and measured values recorded during a test cycle. These systems capture the required data and transmit it to connected analysis software.
Flexible integration into buildings
Semi-wind tunnel facilities are structural engineering challenges. To ensure seamless integration into new or existing buildings, close coordination and clear definition of all requirements from the outset are essential. This allows for the development of a tailor-made solution.
Semi-wind tunnel facility for simulating air flows
Our drive-in airline or semi-wind tunnel systems offer space for complete vehicles and can be combined with a chassis dynamometer and a 4-poster test rig. They are equipped with high-precision measuring instruments to accurately record and analyze air resistance, wind noise, and cooling performance. Special climate control systems ensure compliance with all climatic requirements.
We plan, build, and implement semi-wind tunnel systems from a single source. These systems can be tailored to suit all requirements and circumstances. The facilities are suitable for aerodynamic performance tests, safety tests, and efficiency tests on vehicles. They meet international standards and ensure compliance with environmental and performance requirements.
