Retrofits and Upgrades

Fill out the Retrofitting and Upgrades form for additional information about any of these services.

Controller Retrofits

Continuous improvement of electronics causes controllers to become obsolete and discontinued. Controllers that can no longer be repaired and pose a serious downtime risk to your test schedules can be upgraded.

Refrigerant Retrofits

Customers who cannot risk downtime caused by limited CFC availability or who are concerned by the cost of CFCs should consider a refrigerant retrofit. It is especially important to evaluate costs if you have a failure resulting in CFC refrigerant loss or mixed refrigerant due to a cascade failure. Typically, the cost of a couple of system recharges would pay for a full system retrofit. Customers wishing to prolong the life of their systems should consider refrigeration upgrades.

Vibration System Upgrades

New software for the vibration control systems and amplifiers are available. Contact Thermotron for more information on upgrading or modifying your existing vibration equipment.

Walk-In Panel Box Replacements or Modifications

Frequently, walk-in panel boxes wear out before the chamber machinery. We offer full service replacement. If you would like to replace or modify the configuration of your existing box we can help you with that.

Site Surveys

Thermotron's Aftermarket Specialist is available to meet with you at your facility for large scale retrofit purchases if you are planning to retrofit 20 or more chambers. While on-site, a full inventory of your existing equipment and its accessories will be taken. That information will be analyzed and quotations developed for potential retrofits.

Equipment Relocation Support Services

Thermotron Product Support is uniquely qualified to relocate your test equipment, whether it is just across the hall or all the way across the globe. We provide a Service Engineer or a team of professionals to complete your move in a timely manner. The equipment will be run before decommissioning to document performance and comparison start-up tests will be performed after re-installation is finalized. Our team will recalibrate each machine with the correct, properly maintained, and certified instruments. A2LA accredited recalibration service is available if required.

Performance Upgrades

Upsize compressor machinery, coils, LN2 assist, fans, valves, and additional heat are available as performance upgrades. As an alternative option, if you are happy with your current performance but the machinery section has seen better days we can replace the existing section with one that is newly manufactured.

Universal Port Add-On

Thermotron's patented Universal Port, can be retrofitted to existing SE Chambers. The Universal Port expands the capabilities of our SE-Series environmental test chambers, increases test system utilization, reduces capital investment, and makes your test lab more productive. Allowing these chambers to interface with interchangeable accessories and tools enhances chamber performance and utility.
