Platinous Series

The Platinous series lets you select from a variety of sizes, ranges, and options to meet your specific environmental testing requirements. ESPEC Platinous series includes features for quality and reliable operation:

  1. Stainless steel exterior
  • Stainless steel exterior
  • Energy-efficient refrigeration with an exclusive electronic expansion valve system
  • Specialized humidity generation and control
  • Unique thermal break construction for extreme testing
    Casters, cable port, shelf, & USB port standard
  • ETL-listed electrical panel conforming to UL 508A

ESPEC can add safety options for testing lithium-ion batteries or other products. See the options tab for a list or the Battery brochure below

A new streamlined controller
ESPEC makes operating an environmental test chamber easier than ever with the new P-300 controller. An updated ‘tabbed’ user interface allows faster access to any screen. Standard USB and optional Ethernet interfaces make programming and data acquisition much simpler. In addition, improved algorithms make control faster and smoother.

Improved programming and data collection via computer

  • Standard USB port for uploading and downloading test programs and operation datalogs.
  • Optional remote monitoring, programming, and data collection via
  • our Ethernet/LAN-based Web Controller
    Direct access via an optional RS-232 serial port.

    Energy-saving operation
    Built into the P-300 controller are improved control algorithms for more efficient chamber operation. Invisible to the end user, the P-300 uses advanced control of an electronic expansion valve to save energy and improve control of the refrigeration system. Additional improvements in refrigeration and heater operation make the new generation of ESPEC Platinous chambers the most energy efficient ever.

Rugged Solar-Powered Data Acquisition System for Utility-Scale Tracker Validation

Rugged Solar-Powered Data Acquisition System for Utility-Scale Tracker Validation

W5 Engineering developed a turnkey, solar-powered data acquisition (DAQ) solution for Nextracker to validate utility-scale solar tracker performance in extreme field environments. Facing the challenge of remote locations with no power infrastructure, W5 integrated DEWESoft KRYPTON hardware and FUTEK load cells into a self-sustaining, IP67-rated ecosystem. The system features a custom-engineered solar power architecture with MPPT charging and battery storage, ensuring 24/7 autonomous operation. By housing high-resolution sensors and a fanless industrial PC within a weather-resistant enclosure, W5 provided Nextracker with the ability to capture high-fidelity structural and load data without the need for grid power or generators—drastically accelerating their engineering validation cycles in the harshest environments on earth.
