Optional

Access Port
Access ports are available to easily reach into the environmental chamber to adjust the product under test. Most climate chambers come with one standard port. Additional ports can be added to the environmental chamber. Access Ports are constructed of stainless steel, heliarc welded to the interior liner. Environmental chamber users select the access port size and location at no additional charge. Port availability may vary depending on environmental chamber model. Custom options are available.
The following are the most standard sizes:

3" (7.5 cm)

4" (10 cm)

5" (12.5 cm)

6" (15 cm)

8" (20 cm)- HALT Chamber Only
Cable Notch

The cable notch is an optional feature located on the latch side of the environmental chamber in the door frame. The notch provides easy removal of cabling to the exterior of the environmental chamber. A plug is included to cover the open section and preserve the environment inside the test chamber.
Custom Colors
You are probably used to only seeing a Thermotron environmental chamber or electrodynamic shaker in just one of two colors – blue and gray. But we can in fact paint your piece of test equipment any color you like, provided you let us know which one.

Custom paint color is an available optional feature for equipment purchased from Thermotron, and the process is quite simple. During the quote process, you work with our Sales and Application Engineers and simply notify them what color you want your test equipment to be painted. We primarily work with RAL and FED-STD-595C – Color Standards, but if you provide us with a color and the standard it comes from we will work with our paint supplier to ensure that your environmental chamber or electrodynamic shaker is painted your specified color.

So, why would you want to have your climate chamber painted a different color? There are many reasons here are a few of the most common:

Branding – customers want to have their equipment painted to promote their brand, and incorporate their branding colors into items their staff and customers see every day.

Grouping – Some customers with many Thermotron chambers in their lab need them to be color coordinated by function, ability, or size.

Safety – We have also had customers request that only certain parts of the environmental chamber or electrodynamic shaker are painted. For example we had a customer paint all electrical panels bright orange to highlight potential safety hazards.

There are many unique reasons to specify a paint color on your environmental chamber or electrodynamic shaker, almost as many as there are colors. What color would you put on your test equipment?
Dry Air Purge

This option enables reduced moisture operation at low temperatures, dewpoints at -40°C. The system consists of a flow meter, regulator and control solenoid for program operation. It utilizes compressed air as the supply source and is very helpful in minimizing moisture in the chamber. This feature is built within the chamber, so no additional floor space is needed.
Glove Ports

Glove ports are ports located on the front or sides of the chamber that allow users to place their hands inside the chamber and adjust the product under test without interrupting the workspace condition. Arm ports can also be placed on Thermotron’s patented Universal Port option (SE-Series only) for occasional use.
Low Humidity

A standard humidity system is designed to enable temporary operation down to -10°C dewpoint in a humidity chamber. A low humidity option will enable extended operation down to 5 grains of moisture per pound of dry air minimum limitation and humidity range from 5% RH to 98% RH. The low humidity option on a humidity chamber incorporates a dry air purge for ultra low dewpoints. It also adds a bubbler humidity system which allows small amounts of moisture to be added to the air in the humidity chamber for low humidity control. This eliminates problems associated with adding hot steam to a cold environment which creates two problems: heat that needs to be taken out of the system and steam generator oscillation.
Oxygen Monitor

The Oxygen Monitor is mounted on the outside of the chamber when using LN₂or CO₂ Boost to ensure that the level of oxygen in the room is at a safe level or chamber users. It is a standard safety feature.
Therm-Alarm

Thermotron's Therm-Alarm™ protects against temperature extremes. Built-in self diagnostics continually monitor operating systems, tracing problems before they occur and reducing troubleshooting time. This feature provides audible, visual, and relay contact indication of a temperature which exceeds a prescribed high or low limit.
Boost Cooling and Heating

Boost cooling and heating options enhance performance on select environmental test equipment. Liquid nitrogen Boost and Carbon Dioxide Boost are cooling injection systems that enable faster pull-downs and product temperature change rates in an environmental chamber.
Adding the extra heat feature to your environmental chamber accelerates the test chamber's heating capabilities to improve air and product temperature change rates.
CSA or CE Electrical Codes

For equipment going to Canada or the European Union, Thermotron can build the equipment to CSA or CE electrical codes to ensure the safety of equipment users and the facility.
Door Interlocks

As an optional safety feature the door interlocks prevent the chamber door from opening during a test.
Electronic Humidity Sensor

The Electronic Humidity Sensor is located in the chamber workspace to monitor the humidity levels the product is experiencing. This sensor eliminates the need for maintenance-intensive thermocouple wicks and float tanks.
Humidity

Many Thermotron environmental chambers have the optional feature of humidity to diversify the utility of the climatic chamber. Precise uniformity and tight control characterize the high-performance specifications of the humidity system. Thermotron humidity systems can be configured for a direct-feed facility hook-up or using a water reservoir. The system’s steam generator achieves high volumes of moisture with consistent water vapor levels and more repeatable test result.

The SE-Series Temperature Humidity Chambers have a patented, modular, full-range humidity system. This allows a temperature chamber to be retrofitted and upgraded to a temperature humidity chamber.

Humidity tests can be monitored through the environmental chambers’ controllers.
Mechanical Interlock

A mechanical interlock is a standard safety for chambers operating with Liquid Nitrogen (LN₂). When LN₂ is being used, the chamber door is automatically locked and will not open until all of the LN₂ has been cycled out of the chamber to protect the chamber operator. This feature is standard on AST for HALT and HASS equipment and will be automatically added when LN₂Boost is used in other chambers.
Quiet Package

A quiet package is an optional feature that minimizes the noise levels coming from environmental test equipment. Depending on the equipment (electrodynamic shaker or climate chamber) and the size of the environmental test equipment, the quiet package will look and vary in functionality. For more information contact your local sales representative.
Water Purification and Recirculation System

The Water Purification and Recirculation System is an optional feature on humidity systems for Thermotron equipment. This system purifies water to be within the recommended working limits of the chamber and the recirculation aspect takes water that has already be used in the humidity system and reuses it after it has been purified.
