Abstract
One aspect of the present invention is a system of fabricating a barrier wall between the testing and tester volumes of an environmental test chamber. This aspect may use a plurality of pallets adapted to receive a device under test and a testing apparatus, a framework adapted to receive a plurality of pallets, and a plurality of insulation bricks associated with the plurality of pallets. The insulation bricks may be adapted such that they can cooperate to form an insulating barrier between the device under test and the testing apparatus.
Claims32
An environmental test chamber, comprising:
- (a) an air delivery system adapted to deliver air to a test volume;
- and
- (b) a plurality of drawers received in the test volume and in operable communication with the air delivery system, each of the plurality of drawers comprising at least one test pallet comprising:
- (i) a testing area configured to receive a device under test;
- (ii) a tester area configured to receive testing equipment, the testing equipment configured to test the device under test;
- and
- (iii) an insulation component disposed between the testing area and the tester area.
An environmental test chamber, comprising:
- (a) a test volume having an inlet;
- (b) an air delivery system adapted to deliver a flow of air to the inlet;
- and
- (c) a drawer, received in the test volume and in operable communication with the inlet, the drawer comprising an insulation component disposed between a testing area and a tester area, the insulation component being configured to cooperate with other insulation components on test pallets in the test chamber to form an insulation barrier between the testing area and the tester area.
