The new UL simulator allows preconditioning and exposure testing of PV/CPV modules per IEC 61215, IEC 61646, IEC 62108 and IEC 61730-2. This unique UV exposure chamber produces both UVB (280 nm – 320nm) and UVA (320 nm – 400nm) light using fluorescent lamps.
Two irradiance planes measuring 82 in x 67 in (2.1m x 1.7m) can be exposed simultaneously for a more efficient test process. Modules under test can be controlled to a temperature of 60 deg C +/-5 deg C.
Westpak's president and CEO Herb Schueneman commented: "I am pleased with the Atonometrics UV chamber. This equipment is a vital part of our new solar test lab, and the level of knowledge and support provided by Atonometrics during our qualification process has been impressive."
