/ 77 Rain Chamber The rain chamber from qpunkt was developed to perform various vehicle specific leakage tests. In the qpunkt rain chamber entire vehicles as well as single components can be exposed to diverse rain conditions. APPLICATION The rain chamber is predominantly used to study full vehicles, with emphasis on: • Tightness of the doors/claps: the vehicle is exposed entirely or partially to different water amounts. Inside the vehicle leak tightness is controlled using visual inspection, video or moisture sensors. • Performance of the water separation in plenum chambers and/ or inlet of the air conditioning unit: large amounts of water are introduced to the windshield/engine-hood area of the vehicle, or to a special construction representing a one-to-one model of the vehicle front. The fan is activated, and the amount of water inside the air conditioning unit is measured. Another application area of the rain chamber is component testing. The tightness of different modules and car bodies can be tested. ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE • Applicable to a wide range of scenarios and load cases due to customisability of size and position of the sprinkling / flush area • Variable choice of rain groups / fields • Precise control of water amount and pressure • Simple tailoring of the testbed to a wide range of rain conditions through simple replacement of the nozzles • Direct accessibility (full vehicle or fork lift) • Visual control of the test procedure (Plexiglas walls) • Closed cycle for the process water to minimise resource consumption
