Psychrometric Chambers
Housed in the ATRC, these facilities were contructed by students over the last 5 years.
They are large enough to fit rooftop air conditioning units and are capable of 20
tons of air conditioning capacity. These rooms can be used for everything from unit
testing to component testing.
