Artificial Climate Experiment Facility ( ACEF )
The ACEF has one large and 5 small artificial climate experiment chambers to collect parameters for the Environmental Transfer and Dose Assessment Model.
Large Chamber
The large chamber is 13m high by 11m long by 12m wide. This chamber is able to control the following climatic parameters.
| Parameters | Control range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Temperature | -25 ～ 50 ℃ | |
| Humidity | 20 ～ 90 %RH | |
| Solar radiation | 15,000 ～ 50,000 lx | 2.5 m from the Light Source |
| Rainfall | 10 ～ 100 mm/h | |
| Acid rain | 10 ～ 20 mm/h | ～pH 3 |
| Snowfall | 50 ～ 250 mm/day | |
| Fog | ～ 2 g/m3 | 5 ～ 100 micro meters |
| Acid fog | ～ 2 g/m3 | 5 ～ 100 micro meters, ～pH 3 |
| Wind | ～ 0.5 m/sec |
Small Chamber
All 5 small chamber is 2.5m high by 2.7m long and wide. Two of the chambers are installed on a radiation controlled area of ACEF. Each of the chambers is able to control following climatic parameters.
| Parameters | Normal area | Radiation controlled area | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | B | C | RI-A | RI-B | |
| Temperature | -5 ～ 40 ℃ | -10 ～ 50 ℃ | -40 ～ 50 ℃ | -5 ～ 40 ℃ | -40 ～ 50 ℃ |
| Humidity | 20 ～ 90 %RH | 20 ～ 90 %RH | 20 ～ 90 %RH | 20 ～ 90 %RH | 20 ～ 90 %RH |
| Solar radiation | 21,000 ～ 70,000 lx | 21,000 ～ 70,000 lx | 21,000 ～ 70,000 lx | 21,000 ～ 70,000 lx | 21,000 ～ 70,000 lx |
