An aerospace industry customer required a thermal vacuum system to test and validate the integrity of their imaging system components under high vacuum and extreme cold temperature conditions with several instrumentation power feedthroughs.

We configured a customized a system capable of achieving high vacuum while simulating the extreme thermal conditions of space – utilizing liquid nitrogen (LN2) to achieve the target temperature requirements of -150 °C on the platen and shrouds. Vacuum chamber is equipped with stainless steel pillow-plated thermal shroud, slide out shelf, 6” viewport, LED lighting, and versatile HVC-3500 Thermal Vacuum Controller.    Vacuum chamber backend was machined to allow for the installation of 8ea 25 pin D-sub feedthroughs and 4ea 9 pin D-sub feedthroughs using no ports.
