TSSL series air/liquid shock test devices
CTS environmental simulation – for reliable simulation when immersed in water
The CTS air/liquid thermal shock test units are especially designed for immersion testing in line with standards such as ISO 16750-4 or LV 124. The devices consist of 2 temperature zones: the hot chamber with air temperatures of up to +150°C and a cold zone consisting of a liquid cooling bath with water temperatures of up to 0°C. By means of the vertical hoisting mechanism, used with or without a basket, the test items are then moved from one temperature zone to the other and thus subjected to a maximum temperature shock.
This test is intended to simulate the stress on components and parts when immersed in water. The test is carried out, among other things, as a leak test after exposure to a thermal shock and thus serves to ensure that heated parts and components function in the event of immediate cooling by immersion and submersion.
