This is a thermally isolated Ideal Vacuum Cube 12 x 12 inch TVAC plate with 1/2” OD vacuum isolated fluid tubes and includes Swagelok® fittings. This plate allows the vacuum side of the plate to be thermally controlled by circulating hot or cold fluids, including LN
2 through its stainless steel tubes and internal channels. The operating temperature range of this plate is 200°C to -200°C (392°F to -328°F). A Type-K thermocouple is mounted through a KF-16 port for logging temperature data or for a user supplied setpoint controller to use. The blanked KF-40 port is unused. This plate is uncoated and may be baked out to 150°C (the limit of the Viton O-ring).
This 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 0.5" OD tube fittings.
The core of the plate is made of 304L stainless steel and has an optical breadboard on the vacuum side with a 10.275" x 10.275" temperature-controlled area. The plate's thermally isolated core allows it to be operated between 200°C to -200°C (392°F to -328°F) without compromising vacuum seal integrity. The plate is designed to occupy minimal volume within the Cube envelope and may be mounted in any orientation.
