Portable Temperature Set-Point Controller

Two off-the-shelf instruments combine to control chamber temperature over wide range. Portable controller for environmental test chambers changes temperatures automatically over range of -300 degrees to +400 degrees F (-184 degrees to + 204 degrees C). Unit controls rate of temperature change and time at given temperature. Controller developed to meet NASA Shuttle test requirements.

Improved method of using paraformaldehyde as a disinfectant

Paraformaldehyde decreases required enclosed compartment disinfectant time and temperature by vaporizing powdered material from water slurry. Fire and explosion hazard at lower temperature is reduced. Total mixture evaporation occurs at plate temperature of approximately 167 deg K below that required to vaporize powdered material.
