Standard Series
Standardised thermal vacuum chamber platforms with modular configurations and repeatable performance for aerospace qualification, environmental simulation, and research testing.
T Series TVAC
Compact cubic thermal vacuum chamber platforms designed for repeatable environmental simulation, subsystem validation, and laboratory workflows. The T Series combines controlled thermal and vacuum conditions with a standardised architecture for research and qualification applications.
Its cubic geometry provides a flat base plate and maximized usable floor area — ideal for fixtures, optical benches, and fast integration of planar-mounted hardware. Standard configurations support vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar and thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on the selected system setup.
Cubic Geometry
Full rectangular cross-section: box-shaped units and shelf-style fixturing use the whole volume without losing corners.
Flat Thermal Plate
Planar hardware, fixtures and optical benches mount directly on the flat, temperature-controlled plate, configured down to −190 °C depending on system setup.
Full-Face Door
The door opens the entire front face: direct access to the whole test volume and fast loading. Working pressure < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar.
Typical Applications
Electronics boxes and other box-shaped units, planar-mounted hardware, optical setups and campaigns with frequent specimen changes.
C Series TVAC
Cylindrical thermal vacuum chamber platforms designed for repeatable environmental simulation, subsystem qualification, and robust laboratory operation. The C Series combines controlled thermal and vacuum conditions with a standardised architecture for research and qualification applications.
Its cylindrical geometry provides an inherently pressure-stable vessel with efficient, homogeneous shroud coverage — ideal for larger volumes and radiative thermal balance testing. Standard configurations support vacuum performance down to < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar and thermal operation down to −190 °C, depending on the selected system setup.
Cylindrical Geometry
Round cross-section, the classic form for larger thermal vacuum chambers and long test items.
Homogeneous Shroud Coverage
The shroud surrounds the test item evenly and creates a uniform radiative environment, configured down to −190 °C depending on system setup.
Pressure-Stable Vessel
The round shell carries the external atmospheric pressure efficiently, which favours larger volumes. Working pressure < 1 × 10⁻⁶ mbar.
Typical Applications
Long test items, larger assemblies and radiative thermal balance tests that call for a uniform thermal environment.
