Slimline environmental chambers are available in a wide range of Temperature and/or Humidity ranges as well as internal sizes. LN2 (liquid nitrogen) cooled versions are available with ramp rates up to 10°C/min.
Slimline-LN temperature test chambers are designed for general purpose laboratory and test applications where small chamber size is important, and product loading is relatively low. Liquid nitrogen (LN2) is used for cooling; this is expanded through an evaporator coil to avoid any operator exposure to cryogenic temperatures and ensure maximum safety. An interlock switches the heating and cooling off when the door is opened. The nitrogen gas exhaust must be vented through an external wall to prevent oxygen depletion.
Typical Applications
- Temperature / Humidity Testing
- Fixed and cyclic conditions
- Small electronic component/sub-assemblies
- Low dissipation unit environmental testing

Key Advantages
Slimline chambers are designed to have a small footprint while maintaining excellent performance, e.g. the Slimline 450 model has a 0.7m2 footprint. Large, lockable castors make moving the chambers very easy.
Air is drawn in to the centre of the rear wall, conditioned in the plenum before re-entering the chamber at the front through a grill by the door.
The Slimline range was designed to suit general purpose applications, such as small electronic modules, sub-assembly testing, etc. where good control at specific conditions is required.
Temperature ranges of +180°C to either -40°C or -70°C are available and the Slimline range is renowned for is wide humidity conditions which exceed Area ‘A’ - the norm for most chambers in this category.
All Slimline humidity chambers are fitted with a high-quality, no-maintenance capacitive humidity probe, for hassle free humidity testing.
Slimline chambers are used by a wide range of industries, from Oil & Gas to Aerospace and Pharmaceutical, to achieve their specific Test Standards, as well as International Standards such as IEC60068 (Environmental Testing of Electrotechnical Products).
As well as the standard range of Slimline chambers, our inhouse design and manufacturing in the UK, means we have produced many custom versions of the Slimline range including Fast Shock (Oil & Gas), Humidity Drying (Pharmaceutical) and many more…
