Associated Environmental Systems (AES)

Associated Environmental Systems was founded in 1959 in Wayne, New Jersey, with the goal of making sophisticated test chambers capable of meeting the most demanding testing requirements.

Since then, AES has become an innovative industry leader with divisions on the East Coast, West Coast, and Midwest. We’re proud to distribute environmental chambers globally and across nearly every commercial industry. 

We design, manufacture, support, and service robust environmental chambers and battery testing fixtures you can rely on. 

From humidity and temperature chambers to salt spray and thermal shock chambers, the world’s top companies depend on us for their testing solutions. We have the ability to optimize the type of testing that works specifically for your situation, including small benchtop chambers to very large walk-in units, saving you substantial time and money.

Nearly every industry benefits from—if not requires—some form of environmental testing. Be it transportation, electronics, medical devices, packaging, batteries, or military and defense, temperature chambers play a central role in product success, research and development, and safety. A temperature-only test chamber, also known as a thermal chamber, enables controlled test runs by manipulating the temperature conditions of an enclosed space. They vary in size and performance from small test chambers to large walk-in or drive-in rooms. 

As an industry leader, Associated Environmental Systems (AES) designs and builds various types of environmental test chambers, standard and custom, to meet your goals. Whether you need a sophisticated chamber for temperature cycling, steady-state testing, or battery testing, AES has a chamber for you. From initial planning to ongoing environmental test chamber maintenance, we’re here for you.

Humidity test chambers are crucial for industries such as electronics, military and defense, pharmaceuticals, transportation, medical devices, shipping, and communications. Environmental test chambers for humidity testing enable industries to control temperature and humidity conditions precisely in an enclosed space. In doing so, you can test how products, materials, and components can be expected to perform in real-world environments. 

Associated Environmental Systems (AES) is a trusted leader in the field. We offer various types of environmental test chambers, including temperature and humidity test chambers, that deliver high performance and precision to meet your testing process's demands. Our chambers are built to support your research, development, and testing needs with unmatched reliability.  

Engineers, scientists, and researchers use advanced industrial drying ovens to support product innovation across numerous industries. These laboratory ovens play an essential role in precise temperature-controlled testing.

We offer various types of environmental test chambers, including temperature and humidity test chambers, that deliver high performance and precision to meet your testing process's demands. Our chambers are built to support your research, development, and testing needs with unmatched reliability.  

For applications requiring rapid cooling, liquid-cooled ovens take precision a step further. These ovens can use liquid nitrogen (LN2) or carbon dioxide (CO2) to achieve quick temperature drops, supporting more advanced testing needs. 

Regardless of your lab space requirements, AES offers large to small ovens, with large ovens ranging up to 64 cubic feet and small benchtop lab ovens ranging from under a cubic foot. 

Associated Environmental Systems has a full range of walk-in chambers. Whether you are storing many small products on carts, creating a controlled workspace for research and design, or if you need to drive large vehicles in for testing, at AES, we have a walk-in chamber for every need. 

Prefabricated, tight-tolerance environmental walk-in rooms are ideal for large or oddly shaped objects and workspaces with tight environmental controls. Our history of building long-lasting, durable environmental test chambers and large-scale walk-in rooms with precise control and reliability can give you peace of mind that you can test anything from an entire car to 10,000 cell phone units. 

Depending on your temperature and humidity chamber requirements and the load, each walk-in environmental chamber can be installed using a removable panel system or as part of a more permanent structural build.

Battery test chambers simulate the most intense real-world conditions your cells are likely to encounter, including extreme temperature fluctuations, humidity levels, and cycling processes. These chambers enable precise testing of battery performance, safety, and reliability by allowing controlled charging and discharging cycles in a controlled environment.

Behind every AES battery test chamber is a story of innovation, precision, and reliability. Our product spotlights highlight real-world applications where our chambers help push battery technology forward—whether it’s enhancing safety, increasing capacity, or supporting groundbreaking research.

Thermal shock testing simulates the extreme temperature changes a product might be exposed to during real-life use in customers' hands. For example, think of the jolt a smartphone battery experiences when somebody moves from cold winter conditions outside to the heated space of a home. 

Or the contrast in temperatures airplane parts must endure, departing an airport runway in 95-degree weather and encountering -40°F to -70°F when reaching peak altitude. 

Thermal shock chambers apply alternating extreme hot and cold air to products to test their durability and identify breaking points. This method reduces the potential for failures. These chambers feature two zones: heat and cold, with an optional third zone for ambient temperature. 

 Associated Environmental Systems (AES) manufactures industry-leading thermal shock chambers to empower businesses that need to guarantee their products can withstand rapid temperature changes. Used often for the testing of electronic components in the automotive, packaging and defense industries, the SM Series test chambers have led to innovations and delivered peace of mind for companies and consumers alike.  

Corrosion is a natural process that impacts product longevity. It’s triggered by factors such as moisture, temperature fluctuations, acidity, and salt—conditions that exist in various environments. While corrosion can't be fully prevented, it can be controlled with effective product design and comprehensive testing.

Industries rely on salt spray or also known as salt fog chambers to assess a product's resistance to corrosion. These chambers help engineers create more durable products by simulating corrosive conditions, enabling them to forecast the lifespan and performance of their designs.

Associated Environmental Systems (AES) manufactures corrosion test chambers, also known as salt spray chambers, for businesses ranging from electronics to the automotive industry. The MX Series offers a unique set of features, including superior observation capabilities. Completely self-contained, the MX Series salt spray chambers enable test items to be subjected to a corrosive environment without introducing other contaminants into the test area—the DUT visible from almost any angle.  

At AES, we offer a full range of test chambers, but sometimes your project demands something unique. Whether it's a specialized industry requirement or a one-of-a-kind testing scenario, our engineers are ready to design a solution that fits.

From minor modifications—like additional ports—to complex integrations, such as custom window configurations for LIDAR sensor testing, we tailor chambers to your exact specifications. Our collaborative design process ensures seamless communication, with direct access to our engineering team for efficient CAD iterations and real-time adjustments.
