The Next Generation TotalTemp Thermal Platforms

The Next Generation TotalTemp Mechanically Refrigerated Thermal Platforms are specifically designed for customers who do not have or do not want to use expendable cryogenic coolants and who do not require the fastest hot to cold ramp times. These platforms deliver efficient and precisely controlled temperature conditioning to devices that have a flat thermally conductive surface. When using thermal conduction to condition the device at hot and/or cold temperatures, the results are much faster than using thermal convection, as in environmental chambers.

The unique embedded copper tube cooling channel concept designed by TotalTemp, integrated with a high-density arrangement of long-life durable AC cartridge heaters, provides a comprehensive system able to deliver hot and cold temperature cycling and conditioning on demand. With extremely accurate temperature uniformity and minimal thermal gradients at temperature, TTI has truly created “The Next Generation in Performance” at a price you can handle.

All TotalTemp, single-stage Mechanically Refrigerated products are designed to operate between -40°C and +200°C with a single-stage compressor.

Two-stage systems are designed to achieve -70°C.

Our Refrigerated Thermal Platform systems use commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) ultra-low temperature refrigeration compressor components. The single-stage SC49-N and SC144-N system can cool the 7.5″ x 6.5″ or 12” square surface from +120°C to -40°C in less than 8 minutes. That’s an average of better than 20 degrees per minute for the whole transition from hot to cold.

Cascade refrigeration systems that cool to -70°C are typically a little slower.
