This is a non-thermally isolated Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 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.
The plate's core is made of 304L stainless steel and has an optical breadboard on the vacuum side with a 10.275" x 3.0" temperature-controlled area. Because the thermal cavity is not thermally isolated from the rest of the plate, operating temperatures are limited to that of the plate’s Viton O-ring vacuum seal. The plate is designed to occupy minimal volume within the Cube envelope and may be mounted in any orientation.
