A high-tech space exploration company required a Thermal Cycling Vacuum System (TVAC) capable of achieving high vacuum while simulating the extreme thermal conditions of space. Customer required the use of a closed-style refrigerated-heating circulator to achieve the target temperature ranges. The system vacuum chamber is equipped with a large platen shelf, 6” viewport, and LED lighting. Vacuum pumping system includes a rotary vane roughing pump and high vacuum pump package.

 System is mounted on a ruggedized mobile frame and testing is controlled entirely using our versatile HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller.
