I am spec'ing out a potential new HVAC for our lab.  Looking at Liebert's and one of the models that seems pretty good is the PDX or PCW.  Just wondering if anyone has done recent research on calibration lab HVAC system.  I am thinking of getting a +/-1 Deg C (maybe even +/-0.6 Deg C if not much more expensive), and 45%RH +/-5%RH.

The agreement is that I look around for refurbished units.  So... wondering if anyone who has spec'd out a system recently may have some budget conscious thoughts about candidate manufacturers (other than Liebert - if there are better priced units that will perform adequately), or possibly reputable used dealers.  Any inputs?

We have some Lieberts, I'll find out what model.
