System for testing the properties of thermocouples
The spatial positioning system of the electrodes of the experimental thermoemission electricity generator is a system that facilitates prototyping. Emitter and collector prototypes can be heated up in vacuum conditions. The system consists of three main components: manipulator handle, emitter handle, and collector handle. The system is designed to be mounted on a vacuum chamber.
The most significant device features:
- Designed to test interactions between two electrodes
- Made in UHV standard
- Possibility of obtaining pressure <10-10mbar
- Heating up to 1400°C
- The manipulator ensures smooth and accurate movement and no change in the angle of the emitter holder
- Possibility of mounting on a chamber placed on a frame, enabling easy access to individual mechanical components
