General Description:Custom chambers and systems etc can vary anywhere from modifications to standard ETSacrylic enclosures such as size, adding doors and extenders, HEPA filters, addition or removalof glove and access ports, addition of nonstandard operating systems etc to a totally newdesign.

Shown below are several examples of custom systems utilizing lift-off and removable side paneldesigns, extensions, HEPA filtering, and adding nonstandard operating systems

Chamber on wheeled base Cooling added to chamber Custom size with double door

Temp & dry gas added Extender column added Filter and fan added

Performance Characteristics:The ability of an enclosure to maintain and hold a given humidity level is a function of cabinetdesign (size, shelves and doors), frequency of access, and operating systems and controllersused. The following charts show the time typically required to decrease and increase humidity ina 13 ft 3 (370 l) enclosure (Blue = RH, Red = T ° C) using an ETS humidity control system withCALCOMMS software.
