Overview
The LabCompanion TH-800-5 High-Low Temperature Cycling Chamber is an engineered environmental test system designed for precise, repeatable thermal stress evaluation of materials, components, and electronic assemblies under controlled dynamic temperature conditions. Based on forced-air convection with dual independent refrigeration and heating circuits, the chamber employs PID-controlled hot-gas bypass and electric resistance heating to achieve rapid, stable transitions across its full operating range of −70 °C to +150 °C. Its robust stainless-steel inner chamber, insulated double-wall construction, and optimized airflow distribution ensure high thermal reproducibility—critical for qualification testing in aerospace, automotive electronics, semiconductor packaging, and battery module development. The TH-800-5 complies with core thermal cycling test protocols defined in IEC 60068-2-14 (Test N: Change of temperature), MIL-STD-810H Method 502.7, and JEDEC JESD22-A104E, supporting both linear and non-linear ramp profiles to emulate real-world thermal transients.
Key Features
- High-fidelity temperature control architecture with ±0.5 °C fluctuation and ≤2.0 °C uniformity across the full 1000 × 1000 × 800 mm working chamber
- Programmable ramp rates from 1 to 25 °C/min—configurable per segment for multi-step thermal profiles
- Dual-stage cascade refrigeration system using environmentally compliant R404A/R23 mixed refrigerant for deep-cold capability down to −70 °C
- Industrial-grade PLC-based controller with 7-inch color touchscreen interface, onboard data logging (100,000-point capacity), and USB export
- Integrated safety interlocks including over-temperature cut-off, compressor high-pressure protection, and door-open alarm
- Compliance-ready design supporting audit trails, user-level access control, and optional 21 CFR Part 11-compliant software extension
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The TH-800-5 accommodates a broad spectrum of test specimens—from printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs) and power modules to polymer housings, lithium-ion pouch cells, and optical sensor subassemblies. Its large internal volume and unobstructed chamber geometry allow flexible fixture mounting and integration with external instrumentation (e.g., impedance analyzers, leakage current monitors). All units are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified quality systems. Test reports generated using this chamber meet traceability requirements for GLP and GMP environments when paired with calibrated reference sensors (NIST-traceable Class A PT100 probes available as option). The system supports validation documentation packages aligned with IQ/OQ protocols per ASTM E2500 and EU Annex 15.
Software & Data Management
Standard firmware includes profile programming, real-time trend visualization, alarm history, and event-triggered data capture. Optional LabCompanion ThermalSuite™ software enables remote monitoring via Ethernet/Wi-Fi, automated report generation (PDF/CSV), and synchronized multi-chamber coordination. Data integrity features include electronic signatures, time-stamped audit logs, and encrypted local storage—fully configurable to satisfy FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for regulated laboratories. Raw temperature data is recorded at 1 Hz resolution, with timestamp accuracy ±100 ms, and supports post-test statistical analysis (min/max/mean/deviation per zone).
Applications
- Thermal cycling qualification of automotive ECUs per AEC-Q200 Grade 1 and Grade 0 specifications
- Accelerated life testing of EV battery packs under extreme low-temperature charge/discharge boundary conditions
- Reliability screening of solder joints and wire-bond interfaces in high-density IC packages
- Material coefficient-of-thermal-expansion (CTE) characterization using in-situ dimensional metrology fixtures
- Environmental stress screening (ESS) for defense electronics prior to HALT/HASS campaigns
- Validation of thermal interface material (TIM) performance under repeated freeze-thaw cycles
FAQ
What is the standard calibration interval recommended for the TH-800-5?
LabCompanion recommends annual calibration using NIST-traceable reference standards; verification checks should be performed before each critical test campaign.
Can the chamber be integrated into a factory MES or LIMS environment?
Yes—via Modbus TCP or OPC UA protocol support (optional firmware module), enabling bidirectional communication with enterprise manufacturing systems.
Is humidity control available as an upgrade?
No—the TH-800-5 is a dry-temperature-only cycling chamber. For combined temperature/humidity testing, refer to the LabCompanion THS series.
What power supply configuration is required?
Three-phase 380 VAC ±10%, 50 Hz, with dedicated grounding and minimum 63 A circuit breaker for full-load operation.
Does the system support custom test sequence scripting?
Yes—through ThermalSuite™ Advanced Edition, users can define conditional logic, external trigger inputs, and pass/fail criteria per test step.
