Classic Tenney Series - Wide Range Testing
Classic Tenney Series 
The Tenney Classic Series of temperature and humidity test chambers deploys 
environmentally friendly technology that uses CFC-free refrigerants. The timeproven mechanical refrigeration systems are available in single or cascade 
systems and allow for years of worry-free use.
The Classic Series temperature and humidity test chambers are available in 
10, 20, 30, 40, and 64 cubic feet models, all of which are available with 
single or cascading refrigeration systems.
Features 
• Semi hermetic refrigeration system
• Vertical recirculation conditioning system
• Automatic defrost for door gaskets
• Control tolerance between ±0.3°C and ±2% RH typical after stabilization
• Non-corroding parts on all humidity capable units
• Low water protection

Humidity capability: 20% to 98% RH in the 
dry bulb range of +20°C or +85°C as limited 
by a 3°C dew point. Test data based on 24°C 
ambient, sea level, 60 Hz. On 50 Hz or higher 
than 24°C, ambient performance may be 
reduced. Consult factory regarding any 
special cooling requirements.
