Climate accelerated ageing and the simulation of extreme environmental conditions with testing cameras
This need to be accelerated tests of climate stress, in such a way that all the computers and components are subject to conditions which exceed the real, cyclic, and controlled way so that you can draw conclusions to laboratory-scale on the durability and reliability in the long termnot only to comply with the applicable regulations, ensuring the prestige and brand image, the continued existence in the market and avoid serious repercussions, not only for the own implications of possible downbursts of the elements in question, but also by the collateral damage and economic loss arising from the lack of knowledge of their behaviour, as well as own mandatory coverage in the area of security.
When we talk about environmental conditions, we are referring not only to natural climates, but also generated by multiple technological developments as well as artificial situations, climates and can highlight the following:
- High or low moisture (condensation or situations of drought).
- High or low temperatures (burn-in or deep-frozen).
- Salt corrosion for proximity to the sea.
- Atmospheric corrosion industrial or urban (acid fog of different composition).
- Space simulation (vacuum, high radiation, deep-freeze, etc.).
- Abyssal simulation (high pressure).
- Toxic and explosive atmosphere (gases controlled).
- Solar simulation (UV radiation using xenon lamps).
- Surge simulation (tunnel of wind, dust and sand).
- Aggressive climates (hail, snow, torrential rain).
- High concentration of ozone.
- Dynamic tests combined with cyclic climates (vibration, tensile, compression, bending, etc., combined with thermal shocks).
- Reproduction of various complex situations.
Product technology
For all this, the Organization (h.e. Control quality and Instrumentation) ITC has 30 years of accumulated experience in these activities, providing for 23 years (Foundation in 1979), equipment for these investigations to the technological centres, estates and businesses most prestigious of our countrybecause all these climates have been developed and are reproduced in laboratory-scale with the Chambers of trials ITC, reliable and secure, with technological solvency and the rigor and seriousness of a national company certified by Aenor une - EN ISO 9001: 2000 (ICC has certified the design procedures)(production, calibration and maintenance at the international level according to the IQ-Net certificate).
To ensure the reliability of the tests, the intercomparison and its certificabilidad, it is necessary to have a long experience, a know-how based on the use of cutting-edge technology and a system of such stringent control so as to ensure, both in the more standardized equipment prototypes, high thermal stabilities, minimization of inertia, repeatability in time and space reproducible homogeneity, even with inputs of energy emission, without prejudice to the reproduction of optimal gradients.
ITC trial chambers are not only certified, they satisfy all the national and international standards. They meet all safety standards applicable, accompanying the CE marking and the corresponding certificate of conformity. They are also friendly to the environment, given that they meet rigorously the standards of environmental safety and protection of the ozone layer, in accordance with the protocols of most recent source of legislation.
All maintenance staff assumes the responsibility of an after-sales service with maximum guarantees for the user, with speed and quality, thanks to their high qualification and the experience of being, at the same time, technical staff directly involved in the manufacture.
In the manufacture of the equipment, ITC uses stainless steel AISI 316 L high range, with essay volumes ranging from 40 to 2,000 litres for compact cameras and from 2,000 litres up huge volumes with visitable Chambers, built by modular panelsto enable test large volumes of samples (trials of pharmacological stability in mass, reel of fiber-optic, cable, packaging, etc.), and even large objects, such as battle tanks, artificial satellites, complete aircraft, trucks, etc.
To respond to all specific needs, all JRC cameras allow control computer via conventional PC, having to do this the existing more modern hardware, various interfaces, touch screens, ethernet, multi-configuration, remote control connections, notice of incidents at home or in alarm Center, etc., and also more advanced original software ITC in environment windows, extraordinarily complete and maximum simplicity, to allow easy access and data without special knowledge.
