Envisys ETS-Series Thermal Shock Chambers – Air-to-Air, −70 °C to +200 °C
Quote
The Envisys ETS-Series Thermal Shock Chamber is engineered to expose products to rapid, repeated transitions between extreme hot and cold environments—revealing latent defects and validating long-term reliability. With independent hot and cold zones and a fast product-transfer basket, the chamber delivers quick temperature changes and tight control, helping electronics, automotive, aerospace, and defense teams accelerate environmental stress screening (ESS) and design validation. Standard volumes range from 150 to 1400 liters, with temperature ranges from -40/-70 °C up to 200 °C and typical basket transition times under 10 seconds for high-throughput workflows.
Available in vertical or horizontal configurations, ETS-Series chambers use air-to-air thermal shock with an elevator or motorized/electro-pneumatic basket to move the load between zones while maintaining isolation via engineered gaskets. Purpose-built features—like reduced-thermal-mass baskets for faster recovery, built-in viewing windows for monitoring, and controls optimized for consistent temperature homogeneity—support repeatable results across many cycles and specimen sizes. These chambers are well-suited for component- to subsystem-level testing, from PCBs and connectors to plastics, ceramics, and composites.
