Major Track Record

Reproducing natural environmental climatic conditions
Climatic Chamber (Climatic Chamber)

A test facility that reproduces natural environmental climatic conditions,
excluding the aerodynamic performance of a climatic wind tunnel.

Climatic Chamber test room view

The climatic chamber is a facility needed to improve the quality of vehicles and components with respect to environmental weather through climatic environment testing such as temperature, humidity, solar radiation, and rain, and to systematically carry out performance and reliability evaluation of equipment.

By conducting reliability evaluations of the startability and operating performance of vehicles and components to detect and address problems early, development time and cost are reduced, and products with improved quality and performance are developed. In addition, the reliability of vehicles and components is verified based on the reliability evaluation data obtained through environmental testing.

The Whale Corp. holds diverse experience and a track record in building climatic chambers for automobile companies and research institutions at home and abroad, and will do its best to satisfy customers through continuous technology development.
