Aerospace Applications of Vacuum Chambers

Vacuum chambers are a great tool for the aerospace engineer because these enable her to simulate altitudes by converting it to absolute pressure. Another reason vacuum chambers are useful to the aerospace engineer is because a wide array of vacuum testing can be performed. A lot of these test are specific to the test protocol or the component to be tested. The test themselves are proprietary which is why sometimes we do not have a good handle on what exactly our clients are looking to do.

What we do know is that a vacuum chamber can be used to simulate Martian Atmospheres by purging the vacuum chamber and filling it up with the correct gas mixture. Mars atmosphere is mostly Carbon Dioxide with other trace gasses. The Martian atmospheric pressure is 5 Torr is more than 150 times thinner than Earth’s atmosphere.

You are looking at a total of 4 Acrylic Vacuum Chambers, Front Loading, Hinged Side Door. There is one addition: an aluminum top access panel. This access panel is removable by removing the fasteners tied this panel down and compressing it to the O-Ring.

Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers
Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers are Pressure chambers that are capable of vacuum ratings that are the same vacuum rating of acrylic vacuum chambers. Keep in mind that Acrylic Pressure and Vacuum Chambers have a pressure limit of 15PSIG
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps
Diaphragm Vacuum Pumps are utilized in environments where low noise, no oil mist emissions, low maintenance, and no product cross-contamination are required such as hospitals or labs.
Our Work: Vacuum Storage of Pharmaceutical Products and Medical Supplies
A pharmaceutical manufacturer contacted us to build them a large vacuum storage system for their pharmaceutical products. They were looking for as much footprint as possible which is why they got a two-chamber system from us. They needed a total of 6 shelves per chamber including trays. Finally, they were looking to have both chambers to be placed on a table frame assembly with lockable swivel casters. What you are seeing is a two chamber system, each chamber is our 20 inch cube acrylic vacuum chamber, front load hinged door. Each chamber can be accesses independently while the other is under vacuum. The trays can be easily loaded and unloaded. This whole system can also be moved to anywhere in their facility.
