Atmospheric Research Chamber Projects
Port 1B
Figure 4:
Exterior view of Port 1BDescription: A small (6"X24") platform is attached to the port on the inside of the chamber.
1. Three tubes are sealed here with a putty-like substance:
a) 1/8" plastic tube
b) 1/4" plastic tube provides an AC power cord access into chamber's interior
c) 1/4" plastic tube
2. The following protrude from a 2" diameter pipe that extends past the Bolt Cap: (This pipe is appears to be held on with 12 hex-bolts. The unit may be removable.)
a) A 2" long metal tube extends from the 2" diameter pipe. Clamped to this extension, a 1/2" diameter plastic tube (1/4" interior diameter) extends 36".
b) A 1" long metal tube, 3/16" in diameter is capped shut with a yellow plug. This plug is possibly removable with force.
c) A 2" long metal tube, 1/2" in diameter (3/8" interior diameter) is capped with a red plug. This plug, when removed, provides a clear access into the chamber's interior.
d) Same as C, but there is no cap present.
e) Same as B, but the cap is blue.
Access: There is clear access from the interior.
The exterior has a *Bolt Cap.
Location: 0, 360 degrees counterclockwise from airlock, center height @ 174" from floor.
Port 2B
Figure 5:
Exterior View of Port 2BDescription: In the interior a 1/2" diameter PVC pipe protrudes approximately 5' into the chamber for the port's center. Additionally, two 1/4" clear plastic tubes protrude 3.6' into the chamber.
1) A 1/4" plastic tube protrudes 10" beyond the 10" bolt cap and is easily movable by hand. It dons a 3/8" metal, female threaded end.
2) A 1/4" plastic tube protrudes 24" beyond the 10" bolt cap and is easily movable by hand. The 1/4' tube fits tightly into a threaded plastic sleeve housed in the bolt cap.
3) A 1/4" plastic tube protrudes from the 10" bolt cap and is not movable. The 1/4' tube fits tightly into a threaded plastic sleeve housed in the bolt cap. A metal female-male-female link is located 12" from the cap. The plastic tube continues another 36" past the link and discontinues with a 3/8" threaded end.
4) A 1/4" plastic tube protrudes from the 10" bolt cap. The 1/4' tube fits tightly into a threaded plastic sleeve housed in the bolt cap. A metal female-male-female link is located 12" from the cap. The plastic tube continues another 36" past the link and discontinues with a 3/8" metal, threaded end.
Access: There is clear access from the interior.
The exterior has a **Bolt Cap. An additional 10" diameter, 8-bolt cap is located directly on the 15" cap.
Location: 307.48 degrees counterclockwise from airlock, center height @ 174" from floor.

Location: 90 degrees counterclockwise from airlock, center height @ 174" from floor.
Figure 6
: Exterior View of Port 8B and base of animal chamberDescription:
What appears to be an air pump completes a loop with the chamber's interior. Two thermometers are located on the intake hose. They are labeled as "wet" and "dry". Additionally, a 10" long 1/4" plastic tube protrudes from the intake hose at its beginning. The tube has a 3/8" metal, female threaded end. A 1/2" open hole is present just below the 1/4" tube.Access: There is clear access from the interior.
The exterior port leads to the base of the animal chamber but it is not connected. The animal chamber is unusable without serious modification and repair. There is a *Bolt Cap.
Location: 45 degrees counterclockwise from airlock, center height @ 174" from floor.
