Protection of electronics
Many semi-conductor and electronics operations require closely controlled dry conditions. Moisture causes corrosion on a microchip's circuit surface and improper adhesion of photoresists causing operational failure of the semi-conductor.
Humidity causes electronic failures
A humid environment will cause electronic failures in all kinds of electronic equipment.
A United States Air Force study attributes 20% of all electronic failures to corrosion on contacts and components, etc., even if they have approved coatings.
Munters can help
Lowering the Relative Humidity (RH) to a level around 45% with Munters desiccant dehumidification will cut the number of malfunctions in half, compared with ambient conditions of approx. 80% RH. Munters climate control ensures reliable operation with fewer failures and lower maintenance costs – maximizing plant availability and profitability.
