Taking Environmental Product Testing to the Next Level
The thermal shock chambers, proposed by F.lli Galli, subject the products to temperatures with an extremely rapid rate of change.
The vertical, horizontal and double models have independent hot and cold controlled temperature zones.
The tested products are automatically transferred between the zones, and are subjected to strong thermal stresses.
Thermotron Thermal Shock Chambers are designed and engineered to operate in accordance with a variety of military, commercial, quality control, and reliability testing programs. Most models of Thermal Shock Chambers are equipped with cascade refrigeration systems to allow complete cooling using only mechanical refrigeration.

Horizontal
Horizontally oriented thermal shock chambers have three independent zones side by side: hot, ambient, and cold. The addition of the ambient zone allows for three-zone testing, which is a requirement of some military standards.
This unique and versatile chamber configuration can also be used for dual-zone testing. This is achieved by programming the product holder to automatically transfer the product from hot to cold and vice versa, eliminating the need to pause in the ambient zone.
Vertical
Vertically oriented thermal shock chambers have two independently controlled hot and cold zones; one above the other. A single product conveyor moves between each zone, subjecting the product to large temperature variations.
An advantage of the vertical orientation chamber is that it uses less floor space, making it ideal for smaller laboratories.
Double
Thermotron dual-function thermal shock chambers have a cold zone positioned between two hot zones, aligned vertically at the top and bottom.
The test products are placed in one of the two baskets and transferred between the zones that produce a strong thermal stress. At least one product conveyor always occupies the cold zone.
This configuration makes efficient use of the chamber cooling system, providing better product testing performance than standard thermal shock designs.
