Chamber Construction
Interior Chamber Liner
The chamber liner is constructed of 18 gauge, high nickel content, and series
300 stainless for maximum corrosion resistance. The liner is heliarc welded on
all seams to insure a hermetic seal preventing moisture migration into the
chamber during low-temperature operation. Provisions are made at all liner
seams and corners to allow for thermal expansion during temperature cycling
operation. All interior parts exposed to the chamber environments are fabricated
of corrosion resistant materials.
Exterior Chamber
The exterior cabinet is composed of heavy-duty welded steel with 16 gauge
sheet metal panels. Panel-to-chamber joints are sealed to prevent moisture
migration into insulation area. The chamber exterior is finished with water-based
enamel sprayed over cleaned, primed surface. The walls are insulated with
Hanse Environmental’s exclusive six-layer insulation for minimum heat and noise
transfer to outside environment.
Chamber Doors Hardware and Windows
VTC-1.5 and below:
Single (1) front door of the same construction as the chamber that will give full
access to the product under test. Doors close manual and are sealed with two
silicone gaskets to maintain a moisture-proof seal under all chamber-operating
conditions and to reduced noise levels. Hinges and latches are of heavy-duty
design and are constructed of corrosion-resistant or plated materials.
One (1) 12” x 12” (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) multi-pane windows are provided, one in
each chamber doors. The multi-pane window assembly incorporates an integral
desiccant to insure dryness and minimizes internal fogging at low chamber
temperatures.
VTC-4 and VTC-6:
Two (2) doors both front and rear made of the same construction as the
chamber that will give full access to the product under test. Doors close manual
and are sealed with two silicone gaskets to maintain a moisture-proof seal under
all chamber-operating conditions and to reduced noise levels. Hinges and
latches are of heavy-duty design and are constructed of corrosion-resistant or
plated materials.
Two (2) 20” x 20” (50.8 cm x 50.8 cm) multi-pane windows are provided, one in
each chamber doors. The multi-pane window assembly incorporates an integral
