Galaxy TVAC TVC 590-650 RC Rectangular Thermal Vacuum Chamber

By Nanovac AB

The Galaxy TVAC TVC590-650 RC is a versatile rectangular thermal vacuum chamber designed for rigorous aerospace testing. Manufactured in stainless steel, it provides robust construction and accommodates a wide range of applications—ranging from component outgassing to propulsion subsystem tests. A slide-out thermal plate (configured as an option) simplifies loading and positioning of DUTs, while an optional thermal shroud can be integrated for enhanced temperature control. A front-swinging door (left- or right-mounted) ensures easy access, and the system is supported by a powerful vacuum subsystem for stable, repeatable test conditions and the system can be configured for ballroom installation or thru-wall. Equipped with our award-winning SpaceSoft™ automation software and on-board industrial PC, the TVC800-800SQ offers advanced data logging, recipe-based operations, and real-time monitoring. For teams requiring precise environmental control, custom flange configurations, and integrated partial-pressure analysis, this chamber delivers a flexible platform that can evolve alongside your testing needs.
