Automotive Electronics
Each module of gas-powered, hybrid and electric vehicle has its own set of challenges, such as exposure to temperature changes, environmental conditions like water, dust, dirt and debris or even contact with automotive fluids including urea solutions, car wash fluids, and lubricants. Without the correct pressure compensation solution in place, these challenges can impact reliability and durability. Our pressure compensation elements can effectively prevent rain, hail, snow, dust, dirt and debris from entering, and can also quickly and continuously respond to pressure differences to quickly balance overpressure and vacuum, thereby protecting the integrity of the seal and extending its service life, meantime prevent water and dirt from entering the module.
Photovoltaic Energy
Solar energy systems are challenged by the changing demands of evolving technologies, by harsh operating conditions that can threaten performance, and by customer demands for decades-long service life. Our pressure compensation elements help manufacturers improve the cost-effectiveness, production efficiencies and life expectancy of solar energy systems and components.
Telecommunication
Today’s telecommunication systems aim for reliable connectivity everywhere — which can mean more equipment in remote locations, with enclosures and cabinets that are exposed to extreme environmental conditions. With our pressure compensation elements, benefit high-value telecommunications equipment higher reliability, and lower manufacturing, maintenance and warranty costs.
Security Monitoring
Harsh environmental conditions can compromise the electronic components of security monitoring, creating performance problems.
Our pressure compensation products help monitoring system manufacturers solve the following problems:
• Rapidly equalize housing pressures, to avert premature seal failure;
• Prevent ingress of moisture, wind-driven rain and particulates and other contaminants;
• Reduce condensation that can corrode sensitive electronics;
• Eliminate the need for “ruggedized” housings, reducing costs and weight.
Outdoor Lighting
Lighting enclosures are increasingly vulnerable to the demands of evolving technologies: higher-density components create higher internal temperatures and pressures; transparent lenses make condensation more visible and warranty claims more numerous, and LED bulbs demand longer life of the entire system, requiring more robust protection from both contaminants and condensation.
Ours products for outdoor lighting enclosures have been proven to reduce condensation and contamination through the following methods:
• Provides rapid pressure equalization and relief, thereby extending seal life;
• Minimizes condensation through more efficient water vapor diffusion;
• Prevent contaminants such as dust, dirt and debris from entering the light fixture;
• Efficient breathability eliminates the need for additional reinforcement components, reducing weight and saving money.
Chemical Packaging
Containers containing active preparations that are not properly ventilated can have serious consequences - such as bulging or dented containers, tray deflections, damaged labels and leaks, and, worse, expensive clean-up costs and customer dissatisfaction.
Containers are more risky when stored, transported or distributed. Due to the large range of altitude and temperature changes, the pressure of the container may be unstable or even burst. For industrial chemicals and cleaners, agricultural products, and household chemicals and cleaners, leaking or ruptured containers can cause serious harm to users and the environment—unless the containers are properly equalized pressure.
Our packaging pressure compensation products for industrial chemicals and cleaners use roll-off-optimized ePTFE to enable airflow and prevent packaging deformations, even with the most highly-concentrated chemicals.
Wind Turbines
Electronic components of wind turbines must be protected from harsh environmental conditions. Our our pressure compensation products reliably protect these components from water and salt ingress, the primary causes of corrosion-related failure. This leads to reduced frequency of costly maintenance operations.
Customized solutions
No matter what kind of pressure compensation solution you are looking for, our rich experienced R&D and engineering teams can partner with you from initial product concept through prototyping, sampling, testing and production integration.
