Refrigerator/Freezer Test Room

The chamber shall be equipped with a raised floor that provides an adequately sized floor cavity to accommodate the circulating conditioned air. The floor shall allow for against-the wall air plenums that will take the circulating conditioned air from the floor cavity to the ceiling.

The chamber walk able floor surface shall consist of an appropriate mix of solid vinyl composition tiles and perforated metal tiles suitable arranged to facilitate the air-flow requirements through the test chamber to the floor cavity and up to the ceiling via the against-the-wall air plenums.

The number and placement of the perforated floor tiles shall be such to facilitate a laminar airflow through the test chamber.
