We are pleased to announce that our second thermal vacuum test chamber, TVAC#2, is now fully tested and online. In the first week already we have managed to accommodate a last-minute test requirement for a customer and we are now pre-baking the chamber in preparation for a series of flight hardware bakeouts.
The chamber features:
We also have a multi-part shroud under manufacture which will use the same resistive heating and fluid line design as the thermal plate. This is scheduled to be installed towards the end of the year when we tend to have more downtime for our test house facilities.
The chamber features:
- PID controlled thermal plate with resistive heating and liquid channels for cooling either by chiller circulator or LN2
- Cold trap with removable fascia for lab analysis if required
- QCM for bakeout monitoring
- Residual Gas Analyser (Hiden Analytical)
- Standard 16 T-type thermocouple channels (more channels, or different TC types can be added with notice)
- Temperature, pressure, QCM and RGA all logged digitally
- Door seal and chamber wall fluid cooling lines for high temperature tests (>300°C)
- Scroll pump and magnetically levitated turbo molecular pump meaning a completely oil-free pumping system
