Abstract
Design features of a controlled-environment exposure system consisting of five chambers are described. The purpose of the environmental system is to provide simulated environments for conducting statistical experiments for determining pollutant damage to materials. Design features include independent controls for regulating temperature, relative humidity, and concentration of gaseous sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone. To achieve accelerated weathering, the system also includes a variable dew/light cycle that incorporates chill racks to produce dew and xenon lamps to simulate sunlight. Before initiating exposure studies, differences in lighting and pollutant distribution among the chambers were minimized to below 10 percent variations for 95 percent of the measurements.
