This Ideal Vacuum Cube 12 x 12 inch heater plate will safely provide up to 140°C of uniformly distributed heat to the vacuum side of the plate surface, through a 120VAC 810W heating element. This thermal vacuum plate expands the capabilities of the Ideal Vacuum Cube whereby the Cube can be used as a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC). Applications include thermal stability testing, surface coating and implantation, and damage testing under thermal load. Thermal Vacuum Chambers are often used to replicate or simulate the extreme conditions of outer space and are frequently employed in the testing of spacecraft and aerospace parts or components under a simulated space environment, and control outgassing for a giving process. Please note that the maximum allowable temperature using Viton O-rings is 150°C.

This is a non-thermally isolated Ideal Vacuum Cube 12 x 12 inch TVAC plate with 3/8” OD fluid tubes. This plate allows the vacuum side of the plate to be thermally controlled by circulating hot or cold fluids through its stainless steel tubes and internal cavity. The operating range of this plate is 150°C to -26°C (302°F to -15°F). This thermal vacuum Cube plate allows the Ideal Vacuum Cube to be used as a thermal vacuum or thermal shock vacuum chamber. It can also function as a chilled trap for chemical and high boiling point liquids. Multiple TVAC plates may be mounted to a Cube and plumbed together to enhance temperature control capability. Fluid is commonly supplied by a recirculating heater or chiller such as those made by Thermo Scientific, Neslab, and Huber. Insulated supply and return hoses connect the heater/chiller system to the thermal plate with 3/8" OD tube fittings.
