A precision thermostatic air chamber is described in which the air and the inner walls are kept at the same temperature.
The air chamber has a double-walled structure and a heat exchanger of which the temperature effectiveness is close to 100%. The air and water passed through the heat exchanger are respectively forced to flow into the air chamber and into the interspace of the double walls. The trial air chamber described here is of cubic form each side of which is 30cm, and the thickness of the double walls is 30mm.
The distribution of air temperature in the chamber is measured by 27 resistance thermo-meters arranged in a space lattice. Results of measurement with a thermostatic air chamber tester show that the temperature difference between the air and the inner walls is almost zero.
Data are presented on the temperature control and the dynamic characteristics of the air chamber are discussed.
