TetraTek ColdMaster Walk-In Rooms Back to TetraTek Home

Environmental walk-in chambers

Chamber front with access door open. Side view of chamber showing facility connections.

State of the Art, mechanically refrigerated, walk-in and drive-in environmental test equipment rooms created to exactly match your requirements. In partnership with the leading manufacturer of prefabricated walk-in rooms in the Western United States, we offer the most modern and technically sophisticated, cooled, heated and humidity controlled, insulated structures available.

The TetraTek ColdMaster Walk-in Room is a stainless steel interior sectional urethane foam enclosure refined to optimize your testing experience. These chambers provide the professional backdrop to show off your products and verify their proper operation in various temperature and humidity environments. They allow you to check proper system operation in a real world thermal, wet, or dry environment without leaving the comfort or security of your factory.

Each system is carefully considered to provide you with maximum performance consistent with easy maintainability and long term return on your investment.

Every component is selected for proven reliability and suitability. Machinery and instrumentation are industrial quality and high efficiency. Color digital displays, Ethernet communication, solid state sensors and instrumentation, automatic monitoring, programmability, and extra precautions for dependability in refrigeration and system performance are standard.

Each facility, matched to your requirements.

We invite you to request a free analysis of your needs.
