MPI Thermal’s Temperature Forcing Systems

The automotive industry is rapidly evolving with increased demand for connectivity, faster data processing, and enhanced computing power within critical vehicle systems. This shift drives the need for more robust thermal testing of both electronic and mechanical components in today’s transportation technologies.

ThermalAir temperature test systems and compact thermal chambers offer automotive test engineers the ability to simulate temperature extremes—from -80°C to +225°C—directly at the test site. By delivering focused streams of hot or cold air, these systems apply localized temperature conditioning to electronic control units, sensors, and other vital parts.

Operating without liquid nitrogen (LN2) or carbon dioxide (CO2), MPI Thermal’s equipment supports wide-range temperature testing in a streamlined, eco-conscious manner.

These plug-and-play thermal solutions are fully self-contained, requiring only standard electrical input. Whether for R&D validation or production QA, engineers can quickly and accurately expose vehicle subsystems to environmental temperature conditions, enhancing reliability and accelerating time-to-market.

Fast Ramp & Cycle Temperature Testing

ThermalAir Systems for Automotive Part Manufacturers

Designing modern automotive systems involves more than achieving fast data throughput and powerful processing. Engineers must also address the challenge of thermal management—dissipating heat within compact, space-constrained vehicle environments. Simultaneously, components must remain fully operational across a wide range of ambient and low-temperature conditions, all while meeting the rigorous safety and reliability benchmarks demanded by the automotive industry.

ThermalAir Systems for Automotive Temperature Test Applications

• One system fits all temperature ranges -80°C to +225°C
• Plug in anywhere 200 to 25OVAC, 20amp, 50/60Hz
• Up to 24 SCFM continuous airflow capacity Hot & Cold
• Fastest temperature ramp rates without the use of LN2 or CO2
• Systems are easily moved for sharing between workstations or testers.

MPI Thermal’s Temperature Inducing Systems

Test engineers rely on ThermalAir systems and thermal chambers to precisely condition automotive components across a broad temperature spectrum, from -25°C to +225°C. These systems deliver targeted streams of hot and cold air directly to the component under test, ensuring accurate and efficient thermal evaluation.

As the automotive landscape evolves, virtually all new vehicles will soon fall under the “connected” classification. With hundreds of millions of connected cars anticipated worldwide, these vehicles will rely heavily on a network of advanced technologies—ranging from sensors and cameras to radar, sonar, GPS, and LIDAR. Each of these critical systems must operate reliably in environments that subject them to wide-ranging thermal extremes.

MPI Thermal’s next-generation temperature testing solutions empower users with intuitive control over ramp rates and thermal transitions. One-touch setpoint capabilities allow seamless temperature cycling and profiling, streamlining both lab and production-level thermal testing.

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.

• Type T, K, or RTD DUT Sensor Ports
• 7” user-friendly touchscreen for full system operation
• Both analog and digital inputs
• Simplified and accurate calibration for all airflows and DUT types
• An operating temperature of -70ºC to +200ºC

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.
