The ALIMAT-F chamber is used for material testing in higher temperatures. 12 IR heaters are divided into three independently controlled segments with total power of 6 kW. The delivery included IR heaters, flexible temperature sensors and radiation shields. Three layers of radiation shields were integrated. Inner shield was moreover silver coated to increase an emissivity.
FEM thermal simulation was performed in advance to simulate temperature distribution in the system. Temperature on the tested part was then verified during real time testing. Temperature of 500 °C was achieved on tested sample with external wall temperature 32 °C without active insulation. Vacuum level of 1x10-7 mbar was achieved even at full heating power.
