Thermal shock chambers

Thermal shock chambers

Russells Technical Products offers a wide range of standard and custom thermal shock test chambers. Thermal shock or thermal cycling allows for the rapid transfer of products between temperature extremes, or the alternating heating and cooling of test articles in cyclical manner. Our direct transfer method between two independently controlled hot and cold chambers is an economical way to achieve rapid temperature transition or thermal cycling for industries including battery, automotive, aerospace, materials and composites, and more.

Thermal shock chambers were originally developed to detect product defects and production flaws in electronics manufacturing. Designed to rapidly transfer products between hot and cold temperature zones, our thermal shock test chambers are available in vertical or horizontal configurations. Widely used in a variety of industries including automotive, aerospace, battery, electronics, and more.
