Thermal Water Bath

 

The thermal water bath is a stainless steel “T” shaped tank 12' long and 4' wide.  The pool is 4' in depth on one end and 12' in depth on the other.  The temperature in the tank can be tightly controlled from 5º C to 40º C, with less than 0.1º C variation through out the tank.  The pool can be instrumented with an ergometer for both arms and legs and a tethering system can be used for swimming.  A laboratory sufficient in size to handle all measurement equipment surrounds the pool.
