Condensation may form on
the cold side fins when the surface temperature goes
below the dew point temperature. To reduce the
possibility of condensation or to transfer condensate to
the outside of the enclosure consider the following:
-
Regulate the fin temperature above the dew point. Equations are
provided for this purpose.
-
Use desiccant (moisture absorbing granules)
-
Employ condensate removal system or drip pans
FHP-Series and models
AHP-1400,
AHP-1501 Air Conditioners contain built-in
condensate removal systems. The condensate system
consists of an anti-fungal sponge with a condensate
wick. PVC tubing is also provided for drainage. The wick
should extend below the cooling assembly to allow for a
gravity feed. |
