Series 651 Environmental Chamber 13
Introduction
This manual describes how to install the Series 651 Environmental Chambers
onto a load unit and how to work with liquid nitrogen (LN
2
).
The MTS Series 651 Environmental Chambers let you test materials and
components within a range of temperatures, from -129–540° C
(-200–1000° F). Cooling is accomplished with the use of gases introduced to the
chamber. Heating is accomplished with two electrical heating elements. An
electric fan and baffle diffuse the heat for uniform temperatures. A customer-
specified temperature controller (Eurotherm or Partlow) is mounted in the
electrical box.
