 THERMAL TESTING 
 

The Alcatel-Lucent’ Engineering Technology Group (ETG) offers a full complement of temperature, humidity, and thermal shock test capabilities to Commercial, Military, and International requirements in its Thermal Test Laboratory.

The thermal test chambers are provided with microprocessor controlled data acquisition to monitor and record environmental variables.
 

   
  Large Walk-In Temperature Chambers
 

Thermal Testing capabilities include:
 

 

Constant temperature life testing, aging

 

Temperature

 

Thermal shock

 

Temperature/humidity profile

 

Mission profile simulation

 

Ice accumulation

 

End-of-life robustness, product improvement

 
  Small Temperature Chambers

The ETG Thermal Test Laboratory equipment capabilities are as follows:
 

 

Thermal Test Chambers – Twenty thermal test chambers capable of simulating environments from -73 ºC to +125 ºC (-100 ºF to +257 ºF) at 5 % to 95 % relative humidity and cycle rates up to 45 ºC (81 ºF) per minute.
 

 

The thermal test chambers range in size from 2 cubic feet to 1,000 cubic feet and are equipped with 24 hour, 7-day alarm monitoring, over temperature sentries to protect customer equipment, and up to 250 channels of thermal data collection.
 

 

Other capabilities – Include Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) tests to determine product reliability.
