The RTP-Russels GB-16-3 is an environmental test chamber designed for industrial validation requiring precise temperature control across a wide operating range. The unit features a 16 cubic foot (439 liter) chamber with symmetrical 30 × 30 × 30 inch interior dimensions, enabling consistent thermal distribution for component and assembly testing. With a 3 hp high-stage compressor, 6 kW chamber heaters, and optional 2 kW humidity heaters on GD models, the chamber achieves rapid thermal transients and stable environmental conditions for demanding industrial applications.
