Specifications
Click HereProduct Overview
Space simulators (TVC – Thermal Vacuum Chambers) which, artificially reproduce the real working conditions of satellites and spacecraft equipment, need to reach pressure values down to 10-8 mbar represent one of the highest achievements of ACS technology allowing it to become the most diversified and advanced European company in the field of environmental simulation.
Test parameters are monitored through a dedicated PC and software packages especially developed for this type of applications.

Control System
The control and management system of the TVC consists of a fully automated combination of hardware and software components.
Sequencing, safety interlocks and operator interfaces are implemented through the PLC, the core of the control system. In case of failure of utilities like power, pneumatic supply, cooling water circulation etc… the PLC provides built-in inter subsystem level interlocks to ensure the safety of operating personnel, test object and facility equipment.
HMI devices are provided for local (on-board panel) and remote (PC dedicated software) control connected to the PLC.
Key Features
- Cryogenic-pump and turbomolecular-pump system for the generation of depression values down to 10-8 mbar.
- Pressure value stabilisation in the 10-3/10-7 mbar range.
- Programmed pressure cycles.
- Partial pressure control for 6 different types of gases.
- Temperature range: from -180° C to +180° C obtained by means of advanced-technology thermo-regulation systems for aerospace applications.
