OKTOBERFEST IS HERE, BUT... DID YOU KNOW THAT BEER ALSO UNDERGOES ITS OWN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY CONTROL TESTS?

 It’s true; beers undergo specific environmental tests to check their resistance to oxidation and aging reactions triggered by rising temperatures. Radiation is used to assess hop degradation and verify the glass's ability to filter out light radiation. These tests involve "forced aging"—known as accelerated stability testing—which recreates, in just a few days, the harshest real-world conditions the product might face during distribution and retail.

Typical system specifications include:
👉 High load capacity.
👉 Temperature range up to +40ºC.
👉 Irradiation system.
👉 Food-grade stainless steel construction.
👉 Multiple shelves.

OUR SOLUTION: The AFA-30/1000e refrigerated chamber, designed specifically for accelerated testing by beer manufacturers. This high-capacity system features six height-adjustable stainless steel shelves, allowing for flexible positioning based on sample size. Stable and uniform temperature control (up to +40ºC) is maintained throughout the test duration, while a rear-mounted lighting system enables degradation testing. The entire system is managed via a user-friendly controller.

DID YOU KNOW THAT OUR CLIMATIC CHAMBERS HAVE BEEN ADAPTED WITH LOW-GWP REFRIGERANT GASES, AS REQUIRED BY THE EUROPEAN F-GAS REGULATION?

 In our ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and regulatory compliance in simulation testing, technological innovation is a fundamental pillar. 

At DYCOMETAL, with over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing environmental testing equipment, we understand that test precision must never compromise the planet's sustainability. For this reason, we design and adapt our systems by replacing high Global Warming Potential (GWP / PCA) refrigerants with low-GWP refrigerants, ensuring strict compliance with European F-Gas regulations. 

What advantages does this adaptation bring to your testing processes?
🔹 Guaranteed Regulatory Compliance: Protect your testing facilities against current European regulatory restrictions and requirements. 
🔹 Optimized Energy Efficiency: Intelligent cooling systems designed to reduce electrical power consumption without sacrificing thermal accuracy or performance. 
🔹 Manufacturing Quality & Reliability: Equipment fully developed in-house under ISO 9001:2015 certification and calibrated by our own LCIS laboratory. 
🔹 Operational Continuity: Future-proof solutions that prevent operational downtime due to supply shortages or penalties associated with phased-out refrigerants. 

Whether you need to adapt existing installations or acquire new custom-built temperature, humidity, thermal shock, or corrosion test chambers, our engineering team is at your service to provide tailored technical expertise. 

Join us in moving toward responsible and efficient environmental testing. 🌿

WHAT IF WE NEED TO TEST SMALL AEROSPACE COMPONENTS? THE CETM-70/48T THERMAL TEST CHAMBER.

 While aircraft are massive vehicles, not all their constituent parts are large; many are small yet still require the same thermal and climatic testing as larger components.
In this instance, our client—a manufacturer of pneumatic aerospace components—needed a thermal test system to conduct thermal resistance tests. They required a small-volume unit, given the compact size of the samples.

The specifications they sought were:
👉 Small volume.
👉 Ergonomic design.
👉 Temperature range: -70°C to +150°C.
👉 Observation window.
👉 Remote control.

OUR SOLUTION: The CETM-70/48T thermal test chamber. It is our smallest model by volume, yet it offers the same temperature ranges as our larger models. It features an ergonomic design, with controls positioned at a comfortable height for any user and a test zone that is ergonomically arranged despite the compact test chamber dimensions (400 x 400 x 300 mm; 48 liters). Additionally, the system features an HMI-based control interface with remote control and data logging software, as well as a WEBVIEWER function that allows the chamber to be controlled remotely from any electronic device..

CLIMATIC TESTING FOR BALLISTIC PERFORMANCE OF BALLISTIC VESTS. CCK-20/1000T CLIMATIC CHAMBER

 A client wanted to evaluate the ballistic performance of bulletproof vests over time according to NIJ Standard-0101.06. To do this, they planned to acquire a Tumbler drum unit to combine with a climatic chamber that met the climatic and environmental requirements for the various testing procedures for flexible (soft) and rigid (hard) armor.

The required conditions were:
👉 Adequate interior volume to accommodate the Tumbler drum.
👉 Reinforced floor to support the weight of the Tumbler drum.
👉 Compliance with the environmental conditions specified in NIJ Standard-0101.06.
👉 Extended temperature range for conditioning rigid armor (ballistic plates), Phase 2 cold cycle.
👉 Communication capability with the external drum control system.

OUR SOLUTION: The CCK-20/1000T climate test chamber, adapted in its internal dimensions to the drum's dimensions. The chamber features a front opening of over 180º, allowing access to the test area. Its extended range allows for testing both flexible armor and rigid shielding (phase 1 and phase 2 cold cycle). The system includes an Ethernet port as well as communication signals with the customer's remote control system for the Tumbler drum. All of this is controlled by the advanced control system based on a 7” touchscreen panel.

HOW TO TEST EXTERNAL THERMAL INSULATION SYSTEMS (ETICS)? CCK-25/6800T CLIMATIC CHAMBER

 Our client, a renowned Spanish Certification Center for construction materials, already had several pieces of equipment for performing validation and certification tests on External Thermal Insulation Systems (ETICS). However, due to the workload of the existing equipment, they needed an additional system to increase their validation capacity.

The requirements they were looking for were:
👉 Compliance with European guidelines EAD 040083-00-0404.
👉 Equipment identical to the previously supplied systems.
👉 Ability to test two samples in parallel.
👉 Enclosures for both sides of the chamber for when the chamber is only evaluating one sample or for use as a conventional climatic chamber.

OUR SOLUTION: Our climatic test chamber, model CCK-25/6800T, features a standardized design compliant with European guidelines EAD 040083-00-0404. With an internal volume of 6800 liters, it can test two thermal insulation systems in parallel. The system includes a thermostatically controlled bath to condition the water to the specified temperature and then recirculate it. All of this is controlled by our advanced system, which features a 7” touchscreen panel and associated logging software for PC-based control and recording.
