Thermal Platforms

Using thermal conduction rather than convection (as in standard test chambers) the Device Under Test (DUT) is attached directly to a thermal plate, which is heated and cooled as required. This technique is particularly effective when an intervention such as adjusting or tuning the DUT is necessary while it undergoes a temperature cycling regime.

Mechanically Refrigerated

Features:
  • Rapid electrical heating up to +130°C
  • Single-stage or cascade refrigeration to achieve temperatures down to -65°C
  • Air-cooled condenser
  • Range of thermal plate sizes from 170mm2 to 600mm2
  • Compact, lightweight and portable - 4 rubber wheels
  • Under-bench versions available with umbilical connection to thermal plate
  • Rack-mount versions available to maximize available test laboratory space

Cryogenically Refrigerated

Features:
  • Rapid electrical heating up to +130°C
  • Liquid Nitrogen (or liquid CO2) to achieve temperatures down to -100°C
  • Very fast temperature ramp rates
  • Range of thermal plate sizes from 50mm2 to 280mm2
  • Compact, lightweight and portable - sits on bench top
