Design

The two climatic wind tunnels (CWT) are arranged parallel to each other, their basic elements being of the same design.

A measuring station with a meeting room is available for the client at each of the two climatic wind tunnels.

The essential difference between the two tunnels lies in the lengths of their test sections. The test section of the large CWT is 100 m long and can accommodate a train consisting of a power car and two carriages. At 31 meters, the test section of the small CWT is long enough to accommodate a carriage, a trailer truck or a bus.

A soak room is directly attached to the smaller CWT. This can be used for temperature conditioning of vehicles (adaptation of material temperatures) but also for climatic cycling tests (e.g. thermal simulation of train passage through a tunnel in winter).

Two separate preparation halls with controlled access provide room for setup, development and changeover.
