Services
Controlled Environment Chambers
We design and install controlled environment chambers for pharmaceutical storage, indoor farming, and refrigeration testing. Our chambers meet EN23953 standards, ensuring precise temperature and humidity control. These systems enable accurate product testing and research across multiple industries.
Refrigeration Testing
Our two EN23953-compliant chambers support refrigeration system development and performance validation. We offer consultancy for energy efficiency optimisation and witness testing services for system certification. This ensures compliance with industry standards and operational requirements.
Data Acquisition Systems
We supply integrated data acquisition systems for environmental control in research centres and test facilities. These systems provide real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and energy consumption. They support R&D projects requiring precise environmental data collection and analysis.
Indoor Farming Solutions
Our bespoke HVAC, ductwork, and water-cooled LED lighting solutions enable efficient indoor farming. These systems reduce heat output while maintaining optimal growing conditions for microgreens and out-of-season crops like strawberries.
Engineering Consultancy
We provide expert guidance on refrigeration system design, energy efficiency, and test protocol development. Our consultancy combines academic research with practical engineering experience to deliver innovative solutions for commercial and industrial applications.
