Testing of lithium-ion batteries for energy storage systems.
The effective storage of energy is a development that receives a lot of attention from different sectors. The market for energy storage systems (including lithium-ion batteries) is currently growing explosively and offers many opportunities for various applications.
Temperature and climate chambers for tensile testers
In recent years, the demand for carrying out material tests under (extreme) temperature and climate conditions has increased significantly. As supplier of temperature and climate cabinets from ESPEC, we were regularly asked if we had such a test system in our product range.
ESPEC chambers equipped with NEW Eco-friendly R452A refrigerant!
Many of you probably heard about the new F-gas regulations regarding the use of R-404A (GWP 3.922) refrigerant. The reason for these new measures is the high GWP (Global Warming Potential) of this type of refrigerant
LV 124 Automotive test standard
Since 2010 the LV 124 has become the most important test standard for the automotive industry. The LV 124 includes several mechanical, climatic and life tests, such as the K-09 damp heat cyclic test, the K-15 condensation test and the L-03 temperature cycle life test.

22nd Espec chamber in 22 years of successful business
About 22 years ago (1993), Kees Revenberg, director of MASER Engineering BV, bought the first Espec climate test system from Peter Hielkema, former director of Hielkema Testequipment BV. Now, after 22 years of successful business cooperation, MASER Engineering BV has expanded their wide range of Espec test systems with yet another Espec test system
Climate chamber with solar simulator
About 4 years ago, Hielkema Testequipment, Eternal Sun & TNO developed a unique solar testing system for Solliance (High Tech Campus in Eindhoven). This system has been used very successfully to gain new insights into the degradation behavior of solar cells and mini-modules.
LabVIEW drivers for Espec chambers!
LabVIEW drivers for ESPEC controller (P200, P310, P300, SCP220) are available now.
Ultra Rapid Thermal Cycling Chamber
The NEW Ultra Rapid Thermal Cycling Chamber with an impressive fast temperature rate of change!
TÜV SÜD and ESPEC partnering for electric vehicle battery testing in Japan.
TÜV SÜD and ESPEC are currently expanding ESPEC's existing battery laboratory in Japan. By partnering up, the main aim is to offer a complete range of tests for drive batteries of electric cars. This will become the seventh lab of TÜV SÜD in the international network of battery labs.
Hielkema Testequipment bij RTL 7
Vanaf 12 tot en met 16 januari is Hielkema Testequipment te zien in het businessprogramma ‘TeamNL’ op RTL 7. Gedurende deze week staat het programma in het teken van 'innovatie in de meet en regeltechniek'.
Eternal Sun and Solliance partners develop unique solar testing system
A Dutch consortium, consisting of Eternal Sun, Hielkema Testequipment, Rera Solutions and Solliance partners ECN and TNO will develop a climate chamber with AAA-class accuracy simulated sunlight to simultaneously test performance and degradation of all types of solar cells and mini-modules. This unique combination is able to gather information which is at the moment unattainable. The equipment is expected to become commercially available in the first half of 2015.
