I may have the opportunity to build a small "clock room" and am
considering whether I could make it an environmentally controlled space.
I'd like to learn about the options for doing this.
The space would probably be 6x8 feet or so, in a basement with one
outside wall.
Can anyone point me to purveyors of the hardware to do something like
this? Because I'll have a limited time to build this, I'm looking for
something that uses more-or-less off the shelf gear, and not a whole lot
of custom engineering.
Thanks!
John

John,
My most stable systems are in an upstairs, walk-in cupboard with two
outside walls. If the space is normally unoccupied, you may find it
stable enough. Can you put a temperature recorder in the space to
check? I've used a Raspberry Pi and "single wire" sensor for this.
You can buy the smallest "window" airconditioner and "plumb" it to your
chamber (I used dryer vent hose, cardboard, and lots of duct tape)
Attached is a plot temperature and RH of an insulated box about 1.2
meter wide, 2 meters tall and 60 cm deep, filled with 100 or so 750 ml
bottles of liquid.
The temperature is fairly stable, but the RH varies wildly - basically,
when the AC unit kicks on, it sucks all the water out of the air in the
box, and then, when it turns off, the (damp) walls of the box rapidly
rehumidify the air.
