Aerospace & Defense Industry Thermal Test Applications
Over recent years, the aerospace and defense sectors have seen rapid expansion, heightening the emphasis on delivering components and systems that meet strict safety and quality standards.
In aerospace and defense applications, it’s essential that onboard electronic systems undergo in-place (in-situ) thermal validation to ensure integrated functionality under real-world conditions. During manufacturing, each component—whether a sensor, module, or electronic subassembly—must be rigorously temperature tested to guarantee reliability in demanding environments that include extreme thermal fluctuations.
MPI Thermal’s ThermalAir TA-5000A system delivers precise temperature conditioning over a wide thermal range, from -80°C to +225°C, without relying on liquid nitrogen (LN2) or carbon dioxide (CO2). This self-contained, compact platform enables engineers to execute localized temperature testing on semiconductor ICs and other critical electronics with exceptional control, mobility, and operational ease.
Thermal Cycling & Thermal Shock Test
The ThermalAir TA-5000 system delivers high-performance hot and cold air stream testing, achieving temperatures from -80°C to +225°C. Designed to meet stringent MIL-SPEC testing demands, it rapidly subjects components to extreme conditions. Unlike conventional thermal chambers, this system allows temperature testing directly at the workstation, eliminating the need to move sensitive devices to bulky environmental chambers. With localized air stream delivery, precise thermal control is maintained at the test site for real-time, dynamic evaluations.
Leveraging MPI Thermal’s advanced engineering, the system supports rapid temperature ramping and cycling—from -55°C to +125°C—to comply with MIL-STD protocols. These fast ramp rates accelerate development timelines while maintaining thermal accuracy for the device under test (DUT).
Where traditional methods may take minutes to stabilize, MPI Thermal’s air stream technology achieves target temperatures in seconds. Operators can intuitively set and adjust ramp rates using user-friendly, touch-controlled interfaces, offering enhanced flexibility and responsiveness.
With the TA-5000A, users can direct controlled streams of hot or cold dry air onto components and assemblies, whether electronic or mechanical. This localized thermal testing capability is ideal for both R&D environments and production line workflows, streamlining test procedures while ensuring accuracy and repeatability.
ELI-1000 Thermal Chamber | Temperature Chamber
The ELI-1000 Thermal Chamber, a revolutionary temperature control system that combines a closed-loop thermal source and interchangeable custom/standard testing chamber into one compact, energy efficient system with a standard 110 volt electric source, has surpassed long-term sales expectations set when it was released over a decade ago.
The aim of this Thermal Chamber is to provide testers a precise, convenient all-in-one system at an affordable cost. The patented technology in the ELI-1000 allows for a steady state operation with a heating/cooling system that can be operated and controlled independently of each other.

The Khoury Box | RF, Microwave Thermal Testing
Electronics are a big part of technological advances found in everything today – including many of the parts found in automobiles, video game systems, medical equipment, airplanes, and even military weapons. These parts are subjected to extreme temperature fluctuations and transitions during use. Khoury Industries proudly manufactures the industry-leading Khoury Box, a temperature chamber or thermal chamber that holds the device-under-test so that thermal testing can be done to ensure reliability and durability of a product.
Specifically, the device-under-test is placed into the temperature chamber or thermal chamber and subjected to rigid thermal cycling in which the air is raised and lowered between temperatures that may match or exceed expected service environments to simulate different conditions. The Khoury Box temperature chamber operates in temperatures ranging from -80˚C to +225˚C.
