no (stop Ben)

time to equilibrium in the system, assuming a 'stiff' environmental chamber, depends on the flow rates;
- at 0.3 gpm with a 'low' fan ~1.5 hrs are required if the temp resolution is 0.01°C
- at 3 gpm with a screamer 10 min is sufficient

a temperature difference in the thermal world is not called equal,
and if the difference represents the work being done it certainly IS significant
(what are all these really small numbers abut eh ?)

EDIT

many things are posted here, many wrong and 'let slide' by others
I commented only after 3 others failed to identify the time constant of the system as the object, and made a hash of the temps
