Design Environmental has over twenty five years worth of invaluable experience in designing, manufacturing and servicing temperature testing chambers, as well as humidity, climatic and environmental test chambers. We produce all of our first class products in-house at our factory based in South Wales, where we work under an ISO 9001:2008 quality control system. Since we were established in 1985, Design Environmental has built a nationwide and international reputation as the leading manufacturer of environmental and climatic test chambers. Over the years, we have always remained committed to excellence in design, engineering and manufacture. We also pride ourselves on the excellent service support that we offer to our growing list of customers. Design Environmental was founded to cater for the need of new technology to replace outdated test chambers. For twenty five years we have been continually investing in research and development in order to create an innovative, state-of-the-art range of climatic systems. If you would like to find out more about our unique range of products, please feel free to contact us and speak to one of our experienced team members. We hope to be able to guide you through the process of choosing the correct test chamber for your application.

Design Environmental offers several different ranges of temperature test chambers, all of which offer the ideal performance for both steady state and cyclic temperature tests. Integrated compressors offer cooling of -40°C or -70°C and an upper temperature limit of 180°C. Our BT Range are compact yet powerful benchtop temperature test chambers which are suitable for small items. The BS Range have flexible dimensions and a number of special features, including compressor or gas cooling and the ability to interface with vibration generators. The high quality, extremely versatile DeltaT Range of test chambers are floor standing and ideal for larger items. The FT Range are quiet, robustly built and are incredibly mobile, making them ideal for small spaces.

We know that it can often be difficult to find a test chamber that suits your individual needs.
That's why Design Environmental offers to design and manufacture bespoke items for your applications at an affordable price. We work with you every step of the way to gain and understanding of the nature of your requirements. We then make use of our expert team of engineers and state-of-the-art facilities to come up with the right solution. Some of the modifications we have been required to make have included fast temperature fluctuation rates, test items dissipating great amounts of heat at low temperatures, intrinsically safe heaters, explosion protection panels and special entry ports.

The Sigma range are liquid nitrogen cooled, HALT & HASS chambers which are designed specifically to interface with a multi-axis pneumatic vibration table which offers high energy, broad band random vibration with 6 degrees of freedom. Energy efficient and robustly designed, these Sigma chambers can endure the rapid temperature cycling of the test item. Combining temperature and vibration testing is the most effective method of improving the reliability of the product. The temperature range of these test chambers is 200°C to
-100°C. The rate of temperature change is up to 80°C/min.

Like the Sigma range, these liquid nitrogen cooled test chambers are both energy efficient and robustly designed for durability. They are able to endure the rapid temperature cycling requirements of ESS, HARASS, HALT, HASS and HAST test procedures. For a uniform temperature throughout the chamber and a rapid temperature change (80°C/min), the Xess range of test chambers have a high velocity airflow system. With a total temperature range of -100°C to +200°C, these chambers have an independent over and under temperature alarm.

As well as selling test chambers, Design Environmental also makes its products available for monthly hire. Most of our test chambers that are available usually have a capacity of between 55 and 1000 litres and a temperature range of -70°C to +180°C. Climatic chambers offer a humidity range of 10%RH to 98% RH. We also often sell our hire chambers as used chambers and offer various warranties to accompany them. Please enquire if you wish to purchase a used test chamber.

Our compressed air and nitrogen purged, Drystor low humidity storage cabinets can be used as an alternative to baking components. These store surface mount devices at a low humidity level to prevent the absorption of moisture and avoid' pop corning' during the reflow solder process.

|
Design Environmental does not just offer a great range of products. We also provide worldwide product support which ensures reliable and durable operation of test chambers. We can offer a 24 hr response to cover breakdowns and repairs for our own products and other makes. It is always wise to keep your test chamber correctly maintained to avoid breakdowns. This is why you can purchase a preventative maintenance contract for Design Environmental products and all other makes of test chambers.
We'll also make calibration checks and refurbish worn chambers. This service support is provided all across the United Kingdom by a mobile team of expert engineers.

Design Environmental builds sports and exercise rooms which provide climate simulation for sport and science research departments. Our sports and science rooms (SSR) are state-of-the-art facilities for human performance testing, enabling the user to assess athletes in a range temperature and humidity controlled environments. This is why athletes use these rooms as preparation for competitions held in inhospitable climates. With temperature ranges of -40°C to +50°C and a variable humidity range of 5%RH to 98%RH, these chambers can replicate some of the toughest conditions in the world. These rooms can also be used for testing clothing and equipment in extreme temperatures.
SSR's can also have additional facilities for hypoxic testing. Oxygen levels can be controlled from 12% to 20.9% ±0.1%.

We provide Remote Air Conditioning Systems
(RACS) for test items that are too big or of an unusual shape for use with
standard environmental test chambers. Our RACS are custom built to suit the
requirements of the test item/s and provide conditioned air via flexible hoses.
They feature a compressor or gas cooled refrigeration (or a combination of
both), temperature ranges from -70 degrees C to +200 degrees C, mobility on
lockable castors, heavily insulated flexible hoses up to 5m long and FGH P 3000
programmable controllers. Our RACS can be designed and manufactured to suit
customer requirements and are supplied at affordable prices. Please contact the
team with your requirements or for further information.

Our flexible corrosion test chambers are
available in two sizes – 480 litres and 950 litres – and create three environments:
salt spray, high humidity and air drying. They are easy to operate and each
environment is manually selected at any temperature within the chamber’s
operating range. Settings can also be programmed to form an effective corrosion
cycle and these cycles can be automatically repeated as required. Our corrosion
test chambers meet various industry standards including Salt fog testing as
specified in DIN 50021, Condensed water test as specified in DIN 50017 and EN
ISO 6988, and Standard climates as specified by DIN 50015.

These systems feature a chamber that
interfaces with a single or three axis vibration systems. The systems are easy
to operate and attention is given to ensure that there is easy access to the
vibration system for loading or for preventative maintenance purposes. We are
able to create various interface systems to suit customer requirements. Many of
our systems are used around the world in the automotive and aerospace
industries. Please visit our website to view images and technical information
regarding the construction process and options that are available. Our
technical team is also on hand to provide you with advice and information.

We are also pleased to provide customers
with a range of high quality upright and chest freezers. These are available
with temperature ranges from ambient to -70 degrees C. Compressor and liquid
gas-cooled models can also be supplied. Please get in touch for further information.
