Time-Nutters-- Some years ago I ran some experiments trying to improve on the temperature control of a circuit board with a reference oscillator and other heat producing items on it. I quickly discovered that enclosing it in a small Styrofoam container jacked the temperature up waaaay to high. Eventually, I tried putting it in a large picnic sized Styrofoam container. This worked much better. The inside temperature did go up, but not so much as to be a problem. At some point the size of the container provided enough heat loss so as not to overheat the circuitry but also provided a lot of thermal isolation from ambient room temperature changes. I monitored the inside temperature of the Styrofoam box with an HP-Agilent precision lab-grade quartz thermometer borrowed from the physics lab at the Univ of Flori-DUH.
