Thermal Vacuum Chamber Systems

Capable systems for demanding test and process application needs

Abbess Thermal Vacuum Chambers (TVAC) serve a broad array of end uses, from Satellite Testing and Altitude Flight & Deep Space Simulation to process applications such as vacuum and thermal assisted drying, molding and degassing and gas purge operations. Complex interaction with and monitoring of the Article Under Test can be facilitated by vacuum rated mechanical and electrical feedthrus for power, thermocouple and other sensor communication, device actuation. These working together with standard or customized Abbess Thermal Vacuum Control configurations serve to provide broadly useful tools for science and industry.


Vacuum Chambers for Science & Industry

Precise instruments for experimentation, and powerful tools for productivity

Abbess Instruments engineers and manufactures custom Vacuum Chambers for a broad range of user-defined systems, serving uses from scientific experimentation to industrial production. Abbess’s vertically integrated engineering sales, design and fabrication method positions the company to respond to stock order and custom fabrication requirements promptly and cost-effectively.

Component and Package leak testing, degassing, vacuum process methods, altitude flight, and deep space simulations; Abbess Vacuum Chambers serve as powerful and well-crafted tools in many sciences and industries.


Regolith Thermal Vacuum Systems

Engineered To Each Customers Exact Specifications.

Abbess’ Regolith Thermal Vacuum Chamber systems (TVAC) serve to provide its end users with extreme customization when testing with Regolith. With our extensive experience with deep space simulation, coupled with our industry leading TVAC systems our engineers can create any test environment that your application may need. Accompanied by complex interaction and monitoring of the interaction between the Regolith and the test article. Tests can be facilitated by vacuum rated mechanical and electrical feedthroughs, thermal analysis, other sensor communication, and device actuation. 

Our core team of engineers and technicians draw on extensive experience in the design and manufacturing of these systems to precisely replicate space conditions. With the use of our TVAC systems, we can recreate Lunar orbital conditions within our systems. This is just one of many examples of how Abbess’ Engineers are leading the charge in Regolith related testing.


Altitude & Atmosphere

Proven powerful and practical tools for testing and experimentation

Abbess Altitude and Atmosphere Chambers are produced with an emphasis on careful coordination of the pumping equipment, the chamber properties and component and controls. Abbess has a highly evolved set of systems and tools specifically designed for recreating Altitude and Atmosphere conditions, Flight & Altitude Simulation, LEO, and Deep Space Test environments.

Thermal and Vacuum Chamber functionalities combine with profiling proportional control to give operators the tools they need to ramp both temperature and pressure and even customize gas mixtures for highly parallel chamber environments. Abbess Control Systems can be configured for basic function or customized for sophisticated and integrated tests, with customer specific PC/Touchscreen GUI and robust data-logging functionality.


Process Application & Mixing

Improving process and product with proven methods

Abbess has evolved a great number of useful vacuum chamber systems for process applications that involve degassing and mixing under vacuum and dispensing product. Where called for in a prescribed process, heat and gas purge can also become involved. Variable speed mixing is facilitated in scales ranging from bench top laboratory batches to 55 gallon drum containers. Systems can be configured with controls as simple as manual ball valve and pinch valve manipulation, or as complex as customized PC/GUI control of robotic dispensing with extensive data-logging for Quality Control.

Vacuum Infusion Systems working within the scale of Abbess 18″ and 24″ and 36″ cube chambers combine heating and vacuum degassing of infusing fluid with vacuum preparation of the product to be infused in an automated sequence.

Whether calling on one of our standard systems or customizing vacuum a system for integration into larger industrial or manufacturing process, Abbess responds with cost sensible.
