The TotalTemp Platform can be integrated into an existing vacuum chamber, as is shown in picture on left, or we can provide a complete turnkey system to solve your space simulation or other thermal vacuum challenges. https://www.totaltemptech.com/thermal-platform-vacuum-integrated-into-space-simulation-chamber/

 

 

The NEW Mechanically Refrigerated SC49

 

TotalTemp has recently completed development on a new standard model SC49 platform that is designed to fit the compressor cabinet remotely under the bench, with the platform on an 8′ umbilical allowing it to rest one the bench. This Mechanically Refrigerated Thermal Platform comes with these advantages:

  • Needs no expendable coolants
  • -40º C with single stage compressor
  • Optional one piece design that fits on most bench tops
  • Optional remote under bench configuration
  • Proven industry standard ultra-ultra-low temp refrigeration system

 

 

The NEW Standard Model SD98

 

The Model SD98 Thermal Platform with a 6.5″ x 15″ usable surface area is a perfect example of how any of our standard platform sizes can easily be “doubled up” for other size configurations if more suitable for your application. In this case the 6.5” x 7.5” SD49 was built as a larger single zone plate, but in a double width configuration.

 

 

TotalTemp’s Independent & Retrofitable Hi/Low Precision Failsafe System

 

This system provides truly independent safety and security from any failsafe issues that might occur and can be retrofitted to most existing Thermal Platforms or Temperature Chambers. This unit is intended to supply power to and protect any temperature chamber, thermal platform or other thermal system from selectable ranges of extreme temperatures. Designed to be easily customized to meet your unique and specific needs.

Synergy Nano Logging Function – Importing to Excel for Graphing

Synergy Nano Logging Function – Importing to Excel for Graphing

Manual graphing:

In the past, people used to use pen paper and a stopwatch to do manual graphing. Strip charts and circular chart recorders have come and are now gone. Separate logging gear is often expensive and cumbersome.

Now, when there is a need to graph simple logged temperature data, the Synergy Nano will help streamline the process.

Here is a procedure by Sasha Borax on how to quickly produce graphical results in Excel from data logged by the Synergy Nano. Titles. selection of data to be logged and logging intervals is easy.

Space Simulation with Small Portable System

Space Simulation with Small Portable System

Cost-Effective Space Simulation:

Space simulation adds another dimension to thermal testing.  In vacuum environments, heat is transferred by radiation or conduction since transfer by air currents (convection) is of course not possible without air. This is easily accomplished using thermal platforms in portable TVAC systems.

As is the case with temperature chambers, space simulation systems are often sized considerably larger than required due to a lack of knowledge of what future requirements will be. This results in several inefficiencies.

  • Portable space simulation equipment is cheaper to acquire
  • Smaller systems don’t take up as much valuable lab space to use and to store when not in use
  • Faster to pull down to vacuum and fast temperature transition times result in shorter test times required to perform tests
  • They are more efficient, using less power, generally not requiring special electrical services
  • Smaller systems are often more time-efficient as you are less likely to have to share with others. Larger systems often require travel, time-sharing, and waiting for a scheduled-use time

Conclusion:

Thermal platforms are a piece of natural test equipment for space simulation.

Consider TotalTemp Technologies thermal vacuum systems for full range testing:

Temperature range +150 to -75C. Vacuum 10-6 Torr.  For small to medium-sized devices. These thermal vacuum systems are flexible and fixture to meet many MIL-STD requirements.

Thermal Testing of larger modules is now made easy with new larger thermal platform models.

The SD288-N, 288 square inches and the NEW SD450-N with 450 square inches of a thermal testing area for your device under test.

The SD288 Thermal Platform
NEW SD450 Thermal Platform

Larger, higher power items such as TWTs and amplifiers are easily accommodated with these 12″ x 24″ or 18″ x 25″ precision surfaces.  They are also a good choice for larger or multiple Hybrid / MMICs. They have over 4000 watts of heat removal capability!

Thermal imaging reveals impressive uniformity of cooling.  Model SD288 has six identical evenly distributed cooling channels.  This ensures no hot spots or cold spots.

Likewise,16 linear heater elements ensure even heating.

Larger modules can easily be tested right on the benchtop with an assurance of rapid test uniformity such as for meeting MIL-STD-883.

Programmable temperature control instrumentation with Multipoint DUT sensing module and advanced temperature control algorithms can automatically produce printed test logging results to a network printer and real-time reports in record time.

Test Stats are easily sent to email or text messaging systems.

Next time we will talk about the multichannel logging capabilities and advanced temperature control with the TE-1299-16, 16 channel logging accessory for the Synergy Nano.

A New Article About TotalTempTech!

A New Article About TotalTempTech!

We are happy to inform you that Aerospacetestinginternational.com wrote an article about the best methods for benchtop thermal testing and they are talking about our equipment.

Here is a small portion of the article:

There are many trade-offs to consider when facing a new plan to test electronic or RF products / components.

When selecting a temperature chamber, large seems like a good choice when future needs are not known, and financial commitments are being made for test equipment. However, aiming for the right sized chamber is most often a better choice.

Costs

Consider the following, larger usually means more initial cost. Regarding operation costs, larger chambers will not only have more energy costs. Often when testing multiple units in a chamber, people don’t think of the idle time spent with the chamber and the devices that are waiting for enough units to make a complete chamber load.
