Moisture Diffusion, Condensation, and the Trouble with Airflow in Sealed Enclosures

After moisture or water vapor enters a sealed enclosure, it diffuses through the air inside, where it can later condense during temperature changes. Condensation is a common obstacle in designing sealed enclosures intended to house electronics or other moisture sensitive equipment. To make things worse, moisture will enter a sealed enclosure in four different ways.

How to Relieve Pressure Differentials on Sealed Cargo Containers During Rapid Decompression Events

Rapid decompression can create dangerous pressure differentials in a fraction of a second. Such differentials cause sealed cargo containers to rupture or explode if the pressure is not quickly relieved and brought to a tolerable level.

How to Manage the Effects of Diurnal Temperature-Cycling on Sealed Containers

Diurnal temperature-cycling is the fluctuation in temperature that occurs throughout a day; or, more specifically, throughout a 24-hour period. As the day wears on, temperatures rise steadily, beginning just after dawn, and then cool, starting in the late afternoon and continuing through the night.
