The Cold Laboratory at the Institute of Space Simulation
is a cooling room with an area of 2,40 m x 2,80 m and a height of
2,10 m - 2,40 m. The room can be cooled down continuously
between just below room temperature and -40oC.
The chosen temperature is reached within a few minutes.
Three fans care for a uniform temperature distribution inside the
chamber.
The entrance is made of a two-door 'Schleuse' in order to keep the
temperature loss as small as possible when entering the chamber.
Multi-pane windows and sealed cable feed-through's provide contact
to the chamber's inside for supply and data lines.
Additionally, there are two 230 V AC 'Schuko' sockets (German
style) and two 80 W light bulbs for power supply and enlightning.
Water, pressured air and liquid nitrogen accesses are located nearby.
A 'still-alive' safety system that ensures the safety of any operators
working inside the Cold Lab will soon be added.
Control at the outside.
