After the fabrication of a high power photovoltaic (PV) module, the most critical aspect is the duration for which the module can produce useful power. Reliability and lifetime of photo-voltaic (PV) modules are key factors to system performance and warranty and thus are extremely important as far as PV business is concerned. Outdoor field testing is an accurate method in estimating module lifetime. However, since PV modules commonly come with twenty five years of warranty, testing modules in field for that long period is not feasible. Thus, due to time constraints, many accelerating aging tests have been derived over the years for testing reliability of PV modules. The accelerated test protocols established by organizations like IEC and UL have been adopted worldwide as official tests to evaluate module quality and reliability standards.

The thermal chamber is equipped with the latest simulation technology to provide customers with an unparalleled testing experience. The chamber features a highly responsive touchscreen controller (Envicom Graphite Series) with a wide range of features, including Chamber Analytics, On-demand cooling, on-screen diagnostics, and safety alarms. It also integrates with networking ports such as Ethernet, RS 232, RS 485, and a 2GB SD card for test data storage. Additionally, the chamber can be integrated with third-party software such as NI/LabVIEW.

A soldier’s most important means of preserving life and health are ballistic protection equipment such as a bulletproof jacket or helmet. Ergonomic is one of the important aspects of personal protection equipment which in this case is thermal stress caused using specific equipment. Testing (consists of three primary equipment one being CME’s Climatic Chamber) involves assessment of the Ballistic jacket’s thermal insulation properties to know what extent the jacket impedes the transmission of heat from the human body to its surroundings.
