Abstract
A method of preventing condensation on equipment inside a temperature-controlled enclosure comprises measuring the temperature in at least one location inside the enclosure. The temperature inside the enclosure is compared with a safe temperature, at which the risk of condensation is reduced. The temperature inside the enclosure is increased until the safe temperature is achieved. A user is then notified that it is safe to access the enclosure.
Claims15
A method of preventing condensation on equipment within a temperature-controlled enclosure, comprising:
- determining temperature in at least one location inside the enclosure;
- comparing the temperature inside the enclosure to a target temperature;
- and
- increasing the temperature inside the enclosure to the target temperature.
A method of preventing condensation on equipment within a temperature-controlled enclosure, comprising:
- detecting that an access to the enclosure is open;
- determining the temperature in at least one location inside the enclosure;
- comparing the temperature inside the enclosure to a safe temperature;
- and
- increasing the temperature inside the enclosure to the safe temperature.
A system for preventing condensation on equipment within a temperature-controlled enclosure, the system comprising:
- at least one temperature sensor inside the enclosure;
- at least one temperature sensor outside the enclosure;
- at least one humidity sensor outside the enclosure;
- a control system for regulating the temperature inside the enclosure;
- and
- a control panel for receiving input from a user and for displaying information about the status of the system.
