At AGM, a common problem our customers encounter is the buildup of moisture and condensation inside of their sealed projects. Such occurrences can aggravate engineers who have spent a lot of development time only to have projects experience moisture intrusion problems.

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.

Breather valves and immersion breathers both relieve pressure but operate differently and have different implications for moisture control. We'll look at the differences here and provide best practices for installation.

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.

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.

KevLok Tie-Down Shelving pieces combine to create workstations and storage areas that safely secure equipment in place during transit over difficult terrain or through rough weather. Accordingly, KevLok shelving is a large benefit to any mobile setting, such as onboard ships, aircraft, or in military and law enforcement mobile command-center trailers and vehicles.
