Abstract
Constantly increasing technical and operational demands are set for modern manned and unmanned special vehicles, all − terrain vehicles, and mobile machines. Their producers must comply with very restrictive standards, strict legal regulations, and high customer requirements. They concern not only functionality and efficiency of described objects, but also resistance to the impact of environmental and climatic exposure. Vehicles and mobile machines must be adapted to work in different climatic conditions such as low and high temperature, variable humidity, wind, dustiness, rainfall, variable atmospheric pressure, solar radiation. Verification of the correctness of operation of all these systems installed in machines, vehicles and engineering units requires experimental research in specified and stable climatic conditions. These special conditions can only be implemented in a thermoclimatic chamber. Thanks to these researches, it is possible to confirm the effectiveness of solutions that allow machines to work in extreme climatic conditions, as well as to detect a number of defects and imperfections of the structure, unpredictable at the design stage. The article describes the research procedure certified by Polish Centre for Accreditation and discusses examples of technoclimatic research carried out recently in the thermoclimatic chamber of Laboratory of Technoclimatic Research and Heavy Duty Machines of Cracow University of Technology.
