I refer you to Dimerization of Alpha-Chymotrypsin. II.  Ionic Strength 
and Temperature Dependence.  Biochemistry 10, no.9, pp 1617-1622 
(1971).  Kirk C Aune, Lowell C. Goldsmith and Serge N. Timasheff.

This, of course, was with a Model E  AUC.  In order to get stable 
temperature control above 30C with no oil condensation, we employed an 
aluminum flashing liner on the chamber wall.

Cheers.
