Space Simulation Thermal Vacuum chambers (TVAC)

VmSD49N Thermal Vacuum Test Chamber: TotalTemp Technologies - RF Cafe

VmSD49N Thermal Vacuum Test Chamber capable of +175°C to −75°C at 10−6 Torr

San Diego, California – January 25, 2023 - TotalTemp Technologies, a worldwide leading provider of benchtop temperature chambers and thermal platform equipment, introduces their VmSD49N Thermal Vacuum Test Chamber capable of +175°C to −75°C at 10−6 Torr. It is designed specifically for testing aerospace equipment. 10−6 Torr (1.333224x10−6 mbars, 1.933678x10−8 psi) is the equivalent of 1/760,000,000th of an Earth atmosphere.

Aerospace environmental testing in a thermal vacuum chamber allows for the exposing and weeding out potential failures due to temperature extremes and atmospheric pressure or the lack of it in space. With equipment destined for space, the stakes are always higher with the cost to launch, the chance of a failure being catastrophic plus the lack of service calls in space. The process of basic thermal testing in space is a little different than testing for land based systems, mainly because the lack of heat transfer by air. The intentional and unintentional transfer of heat by convection makes a big difference from what might otherwise be a common sense solution in an environment with air. Outgassing of many materials is another consideration that is usually not such a big deal on earth but when planning for the vacuum of space, often requires careful planning.

Making sure that components headed for space are going to perform as planned typically involves simulating the functions and environment as it is expected to be experienced in use. Standards for testing have been developed making success more predictable. Standards such as: MIL-STD-202, MIL-STD-810, RTCA/DO-160, ISO/AWI 15104, ECSS-Q-ST-70-02C are examples. Prior to integration into larger systems, components and subsystems can be tested far more effectively in a smaller, portable thermal vacuum chamber. Typically, larger thermal vacuum systems are super-expensive, only affordable by large institutions. Time using them typically has to be scheduled and rented as needed. Not only is a small portable thermal vacuum system a more affordable option, but having capability on hand as required can be a very big deal. A small thermal vacuum chamber will reach vacuum level and temperature much more quickly than a large chamber and pay for itself in efficiency, convenience, and accessibility.

 

About TotalTemp Technologies

The primary goal for TotalTemp is to maximize the combined 40 years experience we have in this highly specialized field and create a new, alternative, "Next Generation" Thermal Platforms and Temperature Testing equipment. Our Mission is to offer thermal testing equipment that best suits or customers' requirements. For several decades there were only two real manufacturers for thermal platforms. It was no secret that the market demanded a new alternative with better service and lower costs. We heard you loud and clear and TotalTemp is here to fill that need.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
