Abstract
The present invention concerns an apparatus for preventing condensation in machines for processing web-like material, and in particular an apparatus for preventing condensation on the safety guard of a printing press. The apparatus includes components of a processing unit, and elements assigned to the components to maintain the surface temperature of the components above the dew point of the surrounding air.
Claims21
An apparatus for preventing condensation in machines processing a web-like material, comprising:
- at least one component arranged within a processing unit, said at least one component having at least one surface in contact with and surrounded by ambient air;
- and
- a heating element, said heating element increasing a temperature of said at least one surface of said at least one component, said heating element reducing a difference between said temperature of said at least one surface of said at least one component and a temperature of said ambient air surrounding said at least one component.
