How to set the bi-metal fail safe

Watch this video to learn how to set the primary over temperature fail safe on a thermal chamber. The chamber's primary fail safe is a bi-metal switch that protects the chamber from run-away or over temperature conditions. If an over temperature condition occurs, the bi-metal fail safe will trip and shut down the chamber's heating and cooling capabilities. It is factory set at 125 °C and must be adjusted for the chamber to operate at temperatures above 125 °C.

 

Temperature Cycling Travelling Wave Tubes (TWTs)

inTEST Thermal Solutions (iTS) has designed a multi-zone thermal plate for hot/cold temperature cycling of microwave signal amplifiers used in satellite data communications. The heart of the amplifier is a travelling wave tube (TWT) and power supply.

Getting the most out of Thermal Chambers and Temperature Test Systems

Watch this video to learn how using a thermal system with temperature ranges beyond commercial and MIL-STD requirements can improve throughput when characterizing, conditioning, or testing electronics. A temperature environment that goes beyond requirements can speed up the transition time of the unit-under-test (UUT) and bring it to the target temperature much faster.
