Description
The Metal Panel Mounting Desiccator is designed to ensure electronic, electrical and computer equipment are protected against contamination, corrosion and dampness. It allows moisture adsorbing agents known as desiccants to fill the desiccators. The desiccants filled can be either molecular sieve or blue-indicating silica gel. The Metal Panel Mounting Desiccator is also incorporated with a humidity indicator to monitor moisture saturation.
When the blue-indicating silica gel is saturated with moisture, it changes colour from blue to pink, indicating the need for replacement.
On the other hand, the molecular sieve is capable of providing an ultra-low relative humidity. It is ideally used for extremely sensitive applications which may fail to function immediately upon exposure to water vapour condensation. The molecular sieve is hence recommended for applications where equipment or enclosures require a low temperature to operate, and water condensation must not take place.
