The Ideal Vacuum ExploraVAC Space Simulation TVAC is a thermal vacuum test chamber system.

It mimics the extreme pressures and temperatures of outer space, with pressures down to 10-7 Torr and sample temperatures from -70 to +400 °C, accurate to ± 0.3°C, via a 23” × 23” thermally isolated platen.

It is a fully integrated, turnkey, high vacuum system featuring a large 24-inch cube welded stainless-steel vacuum chamber, a hinged stainless steel door with a viewport, and a volume of 8.0 cubic feet.

The system includes a Pfeiffer HiPace 300 turbomolecular pump and an Edwards nXDS20i dry scroll vacuum pump. This system includes two convection, a micro-ion, and a piezo-electric vacuum pressure gauge to provide feedback to the user and for the logic controller.

An internally regulated purge gas port allows the introduction of user-selected gases into the chamber for high-purity or oxygen-and-water-free work.

This Space Simulation ExploraVAC TVAC system weighs 1302 lb and requires single-phase 208-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, at 49 Amps.
