Custom Thermal Vacuum Test Chamber For Defense And Military Industry Fields

1. Introduction

2. Key Features

2.1 Extreme Thermal and Vacuum Simulation

• Wide - Range Temperature Control: The chamber is engineered to achieve an extensive temperature spectrum, typically from - 196°C (close to liquid nitrogen temperature) to 200°C. This wide range enables the simulation of the extreme cold of space, where satellites and missile components may operate, and the high - temperature conditions during re - entry into the Earth's atmosphere or the intense heat generated by high - power military electronics. The temperature control accuracy is within ±1°C, ensuring that the test conditions closely mirror the real - world thermal challenges.

2.2 Customizable Interior for Diverse Test Items

• Flexible Fixturing and Mounting Options: To securely hold the military equipment during testing, the chamber is equipped with a variety of customizable fixturing and mounting systems. These can be adjusted to support different shapes, sizes, and weights of the test items. For example, specialized cradles and brackets can be designed to hold a missile in a launch - like position, allowing for easy access to its components for inspection and data - collection purposes.

2.3 Advanced Monitoring and Control Systems

• Real - Time Data Acquisition: A comprehensive monitoring system is integrated into the chamber, continuously collecting data on temperature, pressure, and other critical parameters. Multiple sensors are strategically placed inside the chamber to ensure accurate and comprehensive data collection. For example, temperature sensors can be attached to sensitive electronic components of a satellite to monitor their temperature variations during the test, while pressure sensors can detect any minute changes in the vacuum level.
• Automated Control and Adjustment: The chamber is equipped with an automated control system that allows for precise control of all environmental parameters. Operators can set complex test profiles, including ramping rates for temperature changes, hold times at specific temperature and pressure conditions, and cycling sequences. The system can automatically adjust the parameters based on pre - set algorithms, ensuring that the test conditions are maintained within the desired tolerances throughout the testing process.
