Atlas Introduces A Temperature-Control Enhancement For The Emmaqua Service
Atlas Weathering Services Group has introduced a unique temperature-controlled test methodology for the EMMAQUA® outdoor accelerated test device. Using the Atlas pioneered EMMAQUA® and EMMA®, 10 mirror solar concentrator technology, and an Atlas patented temperature control system, the target sample temperature is maintained essentially constant despite variations in ambient daytime temperature and solar radiation intensity.
A temperature sensor mounted to the EMMAQUA® target board interfaces with a controller capable of controlling the power to the blower motor which is used to circulate cooling, ambient air across the test specimens. The black-panel temperature set point can be maintained between 70° and 130°C.
"Research and development groups, material design teams, applications engineers and others concerned with the effects of solar radiation and elevated temperatures on their products now have a new tool to analyze material behavior," said Jack Martin, President, Atlas Weathering Services Group. "This new temperature control methodology, along with the proven benefits and correlation of the EMMAQUA® test method, makes this a very valuable research tool."
