  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THERMAL CONTROL OF A MULTIPLE CHAMBER TEST SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20130031983
    Abstract: A multiple chamber test system is provided. The multiple chamber test system includes a plurality of test chambers that each include a vibration table. In addition, each of the test chambers is provided with thermally controlled air from a common source. An output plenum for providing thermally controlled air to the test chambers may include a flow control device, to provide the same or similar thermal conditions in each of the test chambers. Where pneumatic actuators are used to impart movement to the vibration tables, the exhaust air from the actuators can be prevented from mixing with the thermally controlled chamber air.
    Type: Application
