ACS thermal shock chambers stand out for their utmost flexibility. Available in several versions to better suit different testing needs, they may be broadly divided into:

• air-to- air thermal shock chambers (CST series), horizontal or vertical chambers with 2 compartments corresponding to 2 different temperature levels (hot, ambient temperature, cold). 320, 500 and 1000 l models are available.

• liquid-to-liquid thermal shock chambers (CSTL series), available with 12 or 20 l basket.

The µPLC-based control system consists of a user's interface with keyboard and display and allows pre-defined test cycles to be automatically run.
