The Air to Water Thermal Shock Chamber from LIB Industry combines an upper hot-air chamber with a lower temperature-controlled water tank to simulate severe hot-to-water thermal shock conditions.Test specimens are heated in the hot-air chamber and then automatically transferred into the water bath within 3 seconds. The lower water tank uses an integrated refrigeration coil to cool the water and provide rapid heat transfer during immersion.
The chamber is suitable for lithium battery components, automotive parts, electronic components, connectors, sealing materials and other products exposed to rapid temperature and water transitions.
Transfer Speed: ≤3 seconds rapid basket transfer
Temperature Span: +200°C (Hot Air) to -30°C (Water Bath)
Direct Cooling: Internal refrigeration coil inside the water tank
Dual Media Options: Pure water or antifreeze liquid solution
Hot Air → Rapid Transfer → Water
The chamber uses a simple two-zone structure:
| Section | Function |
|---|---|
| Upper Hot-Air Chamber | Circulates hot air to heat the specimen, up to +200°C |
| Transfer Mechanism | Automatically transfers the specimen between the two zones within 3 seconds |
| Lower Water Tank | Provides controlled water immersion for rapid cooling |
| Refrigeration Coil | Installed inside the water tank for direct water cooling |
The standard configuration uses purified water at approximately +3 to +5°C. For lower-temperature testing, an antifreeze solution can be used, with the water temperature customizable to approximately -20 to -30°C depending on the application.

Key Advantages
3-Second Rapid Transfer
The automatic transfer mechanism moves the specimen from the hot-air chamber to the water bath within 3 seconds, helping create rapid and repeatable thermal shock conditions.
Direct Water Cooling
An integrated refrigeration coil inside the water tank directly cools the water for efficient heat exchange.
Flexible Temperature Configuration
Pure water can be used for standard water-bath testing at approximately +3 to +5°C. An antifreeze solution is available for lower-temperature applications.
Customizable Design
Chamber dimensions, water capacity, loading capacity, temperature range, cooling medium and test fixtures can be customized according to specimen and test requirements.
Applications
The Air to Water Thermal Shock Chamber is suitable for:
Lithium battery components
New energy vehicle components
Automotive electronics and sensors
Connectors and electrical components
Sealing and waterproofing materials
Plastics, polymers and composites
Components exposed to sudden temperature and water transitions
