We engineered a custom Thermal Cycling Vacuum System capable of achieving high vacuum while simulating the extreme thermal conditions of space. The system included multiple zones of heating and cooling for the thermal shroud and thermal platen using LN2 and an external chiller setup. The system featured doors on each end for easy platen access, a LN2 cold finger setup and several large ports for customer supplied feedthroughs.
System is mounted on a ruggedized mobile frame and testing is controlled entirely using our versatile HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller.
