Description

ETCU Series Solar Panel Testing Environmental Test Chambers

The ETCU series was designed specifically for solar panel testing and features integrated options to provide reliability, quiet operation, and proven performance for your testing requirements. The ETCU series uses the latest in HFC environmentally friendly refrigerants, which generate much lower compressor temperatures.

Construction

All models feature vapor-tight, continuously welded stainless steel interiors. Structural reinforcement is used at all critical points. Through-wall ports are continuously welded. A combination of fiberglass and polyurethane insulation surrounds the chamber to maximize insulating characteristics, thus ensuring minimal thermal transfer.
