Category: Rugged / MIL-STD

The Anti-Condensation Heater eliminates the creation of water vapour inside the enclosure by keeping the internal temperature above the dew point. Firstly, Moisture is the formation of condensate during low temperature and/or high humidity conditions. Secondly, removal of condensation is achieved via thermostat-controlled convection. However, it may also provide protection against frost in extreme low temperature conditions.

Unless condensation is kept under control with an Anti-Condensation Heater. It can lead to mould, corrosion, damage or short circuiting of the electronics in the enclosure and worst case scenario, Fire.
