Thermal Shock Chambers

Thermal Shock Chambers

A Thermal Shock Chamber is a specialized testing device designed to evaluate the ability of products and materials to withstand sudden and extreme temperature changes. It subjects products to rapid transitions between extremely hot and cold temperatures to identify potential failures due to material expansion, contraction, and thermal stress.

Thermal Shock Chambers are essential for electronics, automotive, aerospace, Defence, and medical device industries, where product reliability is critical. The chambers comply with industry standards like ISO 9001:2015, CE, NABL and other industry standards . By exposing products to abrupt temperature changes, manufacturers can ensure product durability, identify weak points, and certify compliance with international standards.

Key Features

Two-Zone or Three-Zone Testing:

Products are rapidly moved between hot and cold zones for instant thermal stress.

Wide Temperature Range:

From -70°C to +200°C, with fast cycling capability.

Rapid Transfer Mechanism:

Mechanical lift or basket transfer system to shift products between hot and cold zones.

Precise Temperature Control:

Thyristorized PID controller, PLC-based controller with touchscreen HMI for customizable test cycles.

Multi-Sample Testing:

Racks and baskets allow for testing multiple products simultaneously.

Data Logging & Connectivity:

Real-time data logging, remote monitoring, and cloud-based data analysis.

High-Capacity Heating & Cooling:

Advanced refrigeration and heating elements for rapid thermal changes.

Compliance with International Standards:

Complies with ISO 9001:2015, CE, NABL and other industry standards

Safety Systems:

Emergency stop, over-temperature protection, and door interlocks.

Custom Racks & Fixtures:

Customizable racks for testing small and large products.

Applications

Electronics:

Thermal shock testing of PCBs, semiconductors, and consumer electronics.

Automotive:

Testing ECUs, sensors, and automotive lighting for thermal shock resistance.

Aerospace & Defence:

Verifying the durability of avionics, sensors, and critical mission components.

Medical Devices:

Ensuring that medical devices remain operational after sudden temperature changes.

Packaging:

Testing the durability of product packaging exposed to extreme shipping conditions.

Materials & Coatings:

Identifying cracks, deformation, and thermal stress in plastics, metals, and coatings.

Testing Capabilities

Thermal Shock Testing:

Subjects products to sudden, extreme temperature changes (e.g., from -70°C to +200°C) to measure thermal stress.

Steady-State Testing:

Maintains products at a constant temperature for a specified time.

Temperature Cycling:

Gradually cycles between high and low temperatures to identify cracks, thermal expansion, and contraction issues.

Component Stress Testing:

Applies thermal shock to PCBs, semiconductors, and automotive sensors to assess durability.

Moisture Testing:

Optional humidity control system for testing the effects of condensation.
