Thermal Shock Chamber

TSE−11−A

ESPEC offers a compact, but highly performant

*The paperless recorder and additional overheat protector are optional.

thermal shock chamber ideal for the requirements of
test standards with small and low-volume specimen.

Equipped with superior temperature recovery performance

capable of answering the requirements of severe test specifications,

this thermal shock model offers a wide test area in a compact, slim design.

*The paperless recorder and additional overheat protector are optional.

Characteristics

A high performance compact package to meet severe test requirements.

A temperature recovery time of
less than 5 minutes is achieved
in 2 zones (＋150℃ and −65℃)
without auxiliary cooling

By realizing a temperature recovery time
of less than 5 minutes for the upstream
air in the 2 zones (＋150℃ and −65℃),
we have achieved performance equivalent
to that of a large thermal shock chamber
without having to use auxiliary cooling
by means of liquid carbon dioxide, which
was required in previous compact
thermal shock chamber.

Complies with MIL-STD-883H

and other test standards

This compact thermal shock chamber
satisfies the temperature cycle test
requirements of MIL-STD-883H and
other test standard (see page 5).

Smooth specimen transfer

The "soft-move mode" is used to reduce
vibration shock when specimens are
moving between the hot and cold
chambers.

Uniform temperature

distribution across specimens

High temperature uniformity performance
ensures consistent stress on specimens.

Large 10.9-liter-capacity test area

Features a 10.9-liter test area, twice that
of our previous model. The volume that
can be processed is greatly increased,
and a 210

×

can be tested in the horizontal position.

Test area anti-drop mechanism

A braking system f itted to the d r ive
mechanism prevents specimens from
falling into the test area when the
chamber stops operation.
Other protection mechanisms are
equipped to ensure that the specimen
does not fall.

Easy wiring access

A cable port is provided on the right
side to allow easy wiring of specimens
for measurement during high and low­temperature cycle tests.

Cable port

(50mm, shown with cap installed)

Comprehensive safety system

A dual safety system automatically
stops the test area drive mechanism if
the door is left open, and automatically
locks the door when the test area is in
motion.

Equipped with casters for mobility

Characteristics

A whole range of environmentally-friendly features

Reduced power consumption

Reduced power consumption is an
important issue for our customers. This
compact ther mal shock chamber
employs number of measures such as
the use of electronic expansion valve to
regulate the refrigeration capacity
control. Specifically aimed at energy
savings.

Minimum footprint

Its slim design requires only 2.88m2
installation space (31 ft
narrow spaces in labs or factories.

Material labeling for easy recycling

Plastic molded components are labeled
and easily detachable to make recycling
easier for future disposal of the
equipment.

Paperless recorder (option)

Built-in paperless recorders is available
to record temperatures from various
sources, such as test area temperature.
Recording is possible on Compact Flash
Card or via USB port.

DANGER

CAUTION

●

Do not use specimens which are explosive or inflammable, or which contain such

substances. To do so could be hazardous, as this may lead to fire or explosion.

●

Do not place corrosive materials in the chamber. If corrosive substances or

humidifying water is used, the life of the unit may be significantly shortened.

●

Do not place life forms or substances that exceed allowable heat generation.

Be sure to read the user’s manual before operation.
