Thermal Vacuum (TVAC) Test Chamber – QualiTVAC™ 3600
TVAC testing uses controlled thermal loading and high vacuum to validate entire satellites and large space systems. The QualiTVAC™ 3600 is intended for thermal vacuum (TVAC) validation and full-satellite and subsystem thermal balance testing prior to launch. To replicate space-like heat transfer conditions, the system integrates a large vacuum chamber, a high-capacity heat sink, contamination control, and external heat flux simulation. It uses a closed-cycle LN2 cooling method to enable deep cold operation.
Programs requiring high channel count control and data acquisition for intricate test articles are the target audience for this configuration. The QualiTVAC™ 3600 is a large-scale thermal vacuum (TVAC) test chamber designed to confirm major assemblies and entire satellites' in-orbit performance.
While the heat sink system creates stable cold boundaries to support thermal balance and thermal cycling operations, the chamber offers a regulated vacuum environment. In order to replicate mission-like thermal inputs, controlled heating across several zones is made possible by external heat flux simulation.
Contamination control features help safeguard sensitive satellite surfaces and optics by supporting outgassing evaluation during prolonged pump-down conditions. The system is designed to facilitate qualification and acceptance testing in situations where high channel density, repeatability, and traceability are necessary.
