Walk-In / Drive In Rooms Range

Much more than an air-conditioned room

A highly customisable solution for testing and/or conditioning at larger scales, from cupboard to room sized

Typical Applications

  • Temperature/humidity testing of large volumes of components under fixed or cyclic conditions
  • Conditioning of raw materials, pharmaceutical products
  • Testing of fully assembled automotive vehicles
  • Testing of large components for use in hostile environments

Modular Chambers

  • Circulating or laminar airflow regimes available 
  • Maximum temperature = +80°C;
  • Mminimum temperature = -40°C (single-stage compression) or -70°C (multi-stage or cascade compression)
  • Temperature ramp rate = <5°C/min with load (depends on room volume)
  • Humidity generated using deionised water sprays (region A) or a combination of air driers and water sprays (regions B and C) 
  • Internal dimensions of up to 9 × 6 × 3 metres available, with flexible entrance dimensions
  • Optional antechamber to preserve internal conditions during frequent entry/exit
  • Built and tested at Sharetree, then dismantled, reassembled, and commissioned on site (reducing transport costs)
  • Fully sealed and insulated to optimise energy usage 

Single Piece Chambers

Airflow Control

If your application demands:

  • temperature and/or humidity cycling
  • large or variable loading densities
  • highly stable conditions

then a small room equipped with a large HVAC system will not be capable of meeting your requirements and you will need to consider using an environmental chamber.

If stable environmental conditions are to be precisely maintained, then the airflow must be controlled carefully. There are two airflow regimes available in Sharetree’s chambers: circulating and laminar.

Conditioning of air temperature and humidity

Circulating Airflow

  • Simplest system to design and install
  • Air passes around chamber from top to bottom
  • Good control of temperature and humidity
  • Ideal for less demanding test requirements and lower load densities

Laminar Airflow

  • More complex design
  • Air pulled across chamber evenly to give consistent conditions at all heights and locations
  • Excellent control of temperature and humidity
  • Adjustable louvres at one or both ends can give additional airflow control if needed
  • Ideal for more demanding test requirements and higher load densities
