Case Study: Custom Cold Dual-Zone Environmental Chamber Enables Indoor & Outdoor Simulation for Testing Window Assemblies

A leading manufacturer of residential and commercial windows and doors required a large-scale test chamber to simulate both indoor and outdoor environmental conditions. The goal was to conduct reliable product and process testing on full window assemblies under varying temperature extremes. The chamber needed to accommodate sizable test specimens while providing precise environmental control, ease of access, and structural strength to support heavy loads.

A large, dual-zone, walk-in chamber with over 3,000 total cubic feet of workspace volume was designed for usability, versatile testing, and precise temperature control. The chamber featured an outdoor condition zone of a 1,840 cu.ft zone to simulate outdoor conditions, and a 1,467 cu. ft zone to simulate indoor conditions. The outdoor zone is designed to hold a temperature range of -20°C to +40°C using a 3HP customer-supplied fan and fixture.
