Abstract
A device for thermal shock testing and thermal cycling of workpieces is provided which comprises at least one fluidized bed chamber for thermally treating a workpiece. Agitation of the area about the workpiece is accomplished by movement of the workpiece, by baffles, or by providing a supplementary gas distributor. The agitation provided increases the flow rate of particles of the fluidized bed particulate media in a localized area about the workpiece, thus increasing the rate of heat transfer between the bed media and the workpiece, and increasing thermal shock capacity of the thermal shock tester.
