Walk-In Environmental Test Chambers
Whether you're testing computers and copiers or automobiles and satellites, Thermotron can provide a Walk-In Environmental Test Chamber solution that works. Capable of testing large components, assemblies and finished products Thermotron's Walk-In chambers are able to simulate a wide range of temperature and humidity environments. These chambers can be used for testing and controlled storage as well as a versatile laboratory environment for conducting test procedures in the telecommunications, defense, aerospace, pharmaceutical, automotive and electronics industries.
Whatever your testing need, each of Thermotron's Walk-in chambers consists of a self-contained conditioning module and a room constructed from interlocking panels or welded, insulated solid walls.
Our WP-series Walk-In panel test chambers offer flexibility and versatility in chamber design and manufacture. Designed for fast and easy installation from light-weight and easy to handle prefabricated panels, WP-series chambers allow you to create a workspace to meet almost any testing or size requirements. Even more, the modular construction allows you to change the size and configuration of the chamber to meet your changing testing needs. Walk-In panel chambers are able to provide temperatures ranging from -68°C to +85°C and 20% to 95% RH. A low humidity package is also available for WP-series chambers.
Thermotron's solid construction Walk-In chambers offer broader performance ranges and are designed for your specific test application. Welded and insulated walls are able to withstand extended temperature and humidity ranges and allow for faster temperature change rates than Walk-In panel chambers. Solid construction Walk-In chambers have a temperature range of -73°C to +177°C and can withstand 20% to 95% RH. An ultra-low humidity package is also available.
Conditioning modules are available in a variety of configurations. Flexibility of the interface allows you to mix and match box sizes and modules to meet individual test requirements. Conditioning modules are predesigned with the conditioning plenum and refrigeration machinery mounted on a common base. If our standard module sizes fail to meet your needs, we would gladly design a custom configuration for you.
Chamber construction, design and assembly are closely supervised. Operation verification tests are run on every chamber prior to shipment, ensuring a high-quality piece of testing equipment arrives at your site fully operational and ready to go.
Thermotron's line of walk-in chambers are equipped with the 8800 programmer/controller. With a large 12-inch color touch screen display, the 8800 makes operation and data collection easier and more reliable than ever before. It has a Windows® look and feel to support familiar and robust operations. The 8800 is also Ethernet-compatible and web-enabled with an internet-ready front end for anytime/anywhere access. With more features than any other controller and user-friendly interface, the 8800 programmer/controller is the industry's best value.
