Abstract

We demonstrate a novel temperature controlled filtered laminar air enclosure composed of primarily off-the-shelf components that can be applied to a broad class of systems to significantly enhance their performance. An air mixing method is employed to provide variable cooling of the incoming filtered air, providing a temperature stability of±0.02°C within the enclosure. The method is inexpensive to implement, and is suitable for a wide range of temperature controlled enclosures, with dimensions in the approximate range from 1°m to 5°m, making it ideal for many scientific applications.
