SC340 Solar Simulation Chamber
Full function climatic chamber with additional simulation of global sunlight spectra. With its 340 l test chamber, the SC340
is suited to test material samples and component sections.
For more than 20 years, special metal halide lamps (such as the SolarModul 4000) have been an accepted radiation source for "full-spectrum" solar simulation systems. To fulfill demands for solar simulation, metal halide lamps are carefully checked for their electrical and optical characteristics and individually measured for their spectral power distribution to become MHG (Metal Halide Global) lamps for solar simulation use. In combination with suitable filters, optical systems and electronic supplies, they provide a spectral power distribution that closely matches solar radiation.
