What has this got to do with business? Well according to UU Director of Sport and Recreation Services, Dr Nigel Dobson, it has a lot of applications. He told U2B: “The chamber simulates some of the most inhospitable places on the planet, with temperatures ranging between -20°C and 40°C and humidity levels of up to 95%. It can also manipulate oxygen levels to reproduce conditions at high altitudes of up to 15,000ft/4,600m. The chamber will be used not only by students and researchers but also by external organisations and professional athletes.” So, if you want to test your product to the limit we may have the solution. The Chamber offers a valuable research platform that enables collection of accurate qualitative and quantitative data on the performance of products, equipment or systems under a range of environmental conditions.
