Thermal Shock Chambers

Thermal Shock Chambers - Air to Air
ESS (Environmental Stress Screening) Chambers
The TSV, TSH, TSD Series

What is ESS?

ESS is a means of screening products to expose defective parts or process problems that can't be detected upon visual inspection or electrical testing. Developed to detect product defects and production flaws in electronics manufacturing, ESS uses thermal cycling or vibration to expose failures. Environmental stress screening chambers can be used as part of the manufacturing process or they can be used in new product qualification testing..

Russells air-to-air thermal shock chambers meet the demands of today's environmental stress screening with proven performance in installations around the world. Our direct transfer method between hot and cold is an economical method to achieve rapid part temperature change for ESS or thermal shock.

Thermal Shock Chambers
Russells air-to-air thermal shock chambers are available in three configurations:

  • TSV Series Two Zone (hot/cold) Vertical - direct hot/cold transfer
  • TSH Series Three Zone (hot/ambient/cold) Horizontal - direct hot/cold transfer with selectable ambient temperature dwell required for some MIL-STD's.
  • TSD Series Double Duty (hot/cold/hot) - direct hot/cold transfer with additional hot zone and second transfer carriage effectively doubles throughput capacity for high volume production.
  • Sizes from 30 l (1 cu ft) to 450 l (16 cu ft) capacity
  • Cold zone temperatures to -73° C (-100° F)
  • Hot zone to 200° C (392° F)
  • Automatic transfer of test specimens between zones

ESS Chambers for temperature cycling environmental stress screening:

  • Cascade low temperature to -73° C (-100° F)
  • Single stage to -20° C (-4° F)
  • High temperature to 177° C (350° F)
  • Transition rates to 30° C/min (54° F/min)
  • Humidity from 20% to 95% RH.
  • Available with passive or power product fixturing
  • Cart based or backplane style
     
Thermal Shock Chambers Features:
Standard
  • Chamber liners heliarc welded and dye checked brushed 300 stainless steel.
  • Fiberglass insulation, urethane foam insulation
  • Welded structural steel frame.
  • Service panels removable with 1/4 turn fasteners
