Sumario:The present project is dedicated to the design of a HV/UHV movable chamber for the synchrotron ALBA, conceived for testing components used at this facility.The vacuum requirement of the chamber operation and its geometry constrainall the stages of the design. Starting from a given setof technical specifications,a conceptual design of the chamber was carried out using the NXdesign software.The materialof the chamber walls, portsand vacuum system components will be selected. Regarding the vacuum system, a calculation of the pumping time required forachieving HV is carried out. The HV and UHV steady stateswere studied using the MolFlow+ code. Results obtained in these simulations give pressure profiles inside the chamber for a number of ion pumps that allows to select the most optimal one. The project also includesthe validation of the mechanical model created in NX software by comparing it to the model obtained by the ALBA group by means of the finite elementanalysis
