Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty 20A, 2400W, Single Zone PID Heater Control System, 100-240 VAC, 1 Setpoint, RS485 ModbusThis Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty, single zone 20A PID heater control system is designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our conflat flange ThinBand nozzle heaters, Ideal Vacuum Cube heater plates, and other vacuum heater and chiller units in real time. The heater control operates at 100-240 VAC and can handle heaters up to 20A. The controller uses a type K thermocouple (sold separately). Temperature is monitored either directly on the heater control’s front panel, or via RS485/Modbus (DB9 female connector) remotely by a computer. Temperature is controlled by a user programmable set point. Two set point relays, wired through the DB9 connector, are available to activate other equipment (i.e., valve solenoids) when the set point is reached. These set point relays are rated for 1A maximum. The PID has many relay configurations which can be programmed according to the user ‘s requirements. The control system is housed in a strong and attractive ¼ DIN brushed aluminum enclosure. Hardware is included for table top use or panel mounting. Cutout for ¼ DIN panel mounting is 92mm x 92 mm (3.62x3.62 in.). Safety features include an over temperature audible alarm, and a thermal circuit breaker incorporated into the main power switch. This Ideal Vacuum Heavy Duty heater control system includes a robust 12 gauge input power cable with a 5-20P (20A) plug. The package also includes a C19 power entry plug (male C19) for wiring to a heater. Additional C19 power entry plugs are available (P1011284) to connect to different heaters without rewiring. A splitter kit (P1011285) is also available (C19 male plug to dual C20 female connectors), which allows the simultaneous connection of two heaters to the system (2400W total @120 VAC, 4800W total @240 VAC). Please see part number P1011963 for a 15A, 10 ft. long power Cord with NEMA 5-15P plug (standard 110V plug). Note: This system may also be powered on 208/240 VAC (50/60 Hz). Heaters must be rated for the same voltage as the input voltage. At 240 VAC, the total allowable heater load is 20A (4800W). For 240 VAC use, the user must supply their own power cord. Please see the downloads for the PID Quick Start directions and controller manual.

Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 TVAC Thermal Vacuum Chamber Heater Plate for up to 140°C. This Ideal Vacuum Cube 6 x 6 inch heater plate will safely provide up to 140°C of uniformly distributed heat to the vacuum side of the plate surface, through a 120VAC 160W heating element. This thermal vacuum plate expands the capabilities of the Ideal Vacuum Cube whereby the Cube can be used as a Thermal Vacuum Chamber (TVAC). Applications include thermal stability testing, surface coating and implantation, and damage testing under thermal load. Thermal Vacuum Chambers are often used to replicate or simulate the extreme conditions of outer space and are frequently employed in the testing of spacecraft and aerospace parts or components under a simulated space environment, and control outgassing for a giving process. Please note that the maximum allowable temperature using Viton O-rings is 150°C. This heater plate has an integrated Type-K thermocouple, and works directly with our single zone PID Plug & Play Heater Control System, which is designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our Cube heater plates. When a single Cube heater plate is used, and once the system has reached thermal equilibrium, the rest of the chamber will be approximately 10°C less than the heated plate itself. Multiple heater plates may be used (up to the heater control system’s maximum power load) to help eliminate this temperature differential. These Vacuum Cube heater plates are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and powder coated red. The vacuum chamber side (back) of these heater plates have an optical breadboard for fixtures and test components. Temperature gradients due to conductive losses through the heater plate edges are kept to a minimum with integrated, machined stand-offs that minimize the contact surface between the plate and the Vacuum Cube frame. An aluminum anodized shield on the air side of the heater plate helps control convective losses due to ambient conditions (and helps protect users from direct contact with the heated plate). As the plots below demonstrate, ramp-up time and maximum plate temperature is dependent upon the heater control system, number of heater plates, ambient operating conditions, and whether the vacuum cube is insulated.

Conflat Vacuum Fittings Bakeout Surface Mount K-Type Thermocouple, Response Times < 0.15 Seconds.Provides Temperature Feedback For Our Ideal Vacuum Heater Control System P/N P1011283 and P107361. These self-adhering mount K-Type thermocouples provide a rapid response (less than 0.15 seconds) and can be operated up to temperatures of 260°C (500°F) or can be cemented in place for use at temperatures up to 315°C (600°F). They use a polyimide and fiberglass junction insulation along with a fiberglass-insulated lead wire and require a patch length 1" by 0.375" width. It is important that the thermocouple be securely connected to the part being heated at all times so that good thermal contact in achieved during the complete bakeout cycle. Caution, if the thermocouple loses contact with the fitting, the temperature controller will measure a much lower temperature of the room air. This will result in a dangerously high run away heating of the vacuum-flanged fitting. We recommend that these thermocouples be directly adhered to the outer surface of the flange with the band nozzle heater installed over the thermocouple. This procedure will clamp the thermocouple onto the heated conflat flange. Information On Our Plug & Play PID Heater Control SystemsOur single zone PID heater control systems (P1011283) and (P107361) are designed to accurately measure and control the temperature of our conflat flange ThinBand nozzle heaters, as well as Ideal Vacuum Cube heater plates, and other vacuum heater and chiller units in real time. These heater control systems can operate at 120 or 240VAC with single or multiple heater loads up to 20A (2400W@120VAC, 4800W@240VAC). Information On Our Conflat Nozzle Type Band HeatersThese conflat 2.75 (2-3/4) inch nozzle heaters are designed to be tightened around the outer surface of the conflat flange. The thermal energy from the bakeout process helps desorb layers of water vapor in vacuum chambers allowing the molecular water vapor to be pumped away leading to a much quicker pump down time for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) applications. These conflat flange bakeout nozzle heaters are a low-cost solution to more expensive CF heating jackets. These conflat thin band nozzle heaters have a 2.75-inch inner diameter by 1.0-inch width, operate on 110 to 120 VAC input power, consume 300 Watts of power. and have 18-inch flying FFG Leads. They are tightened on to the conflat flange with an integrated socket head cap screw hardware component. Conflat ultra-high vacuum metal-to-metal seal with copper gasket and stainless-steel conflat flanges allows for baking of temperatures up to 450 °C. (maximum bakeout temperature can be limited by the choice of gasket material). These nozzle heaters work directly with our heating and temperature control units which incorporate temperature measurement input for a thermocouple. These items work together to make a complete CF heating and temperature control solution. Caution - it is important to understand the risk of being burned by heated vacuum flanges. The bakeout temperature of conflat flanges and fittings can reach 450 degrees Celsius! The vacuum system operator needs to be trained correctly on how to safely work around these very hot surfaces.
