Aging chamber
The aging chamber is a device that facilitates prototyping, enabling heating up to 200°C under reduced pressure of a few mbar.
The most significant device features:
- made in HV (high vacuum) standard
-
vacuum obtained using a 1-stage rotary oil pump with the possibility of using a 2-stage pump to reach a higher vacuum
- the chamber consists of a main chamber with a vacuum door and a flange with a built-up furnace. These components have separate frames.
- reduction of heat transfer between the furnace and the chamber achieved through the use of a thermal screen made of corrugated aluminum foil
- the possibility of conducting tests at atmospheric pressure. Then, it is necessary to use an additional thermal shield to protect against burns due to significant heating of the chamber
