For products exposed to the elements such as telecommunications equipment, lighting enclosures and solar equipment, GORE® Protective Vents provide an effective barrier from dust and dirt and still allow the product to breathe with changing environmental conditions. This helps prevent pressure from building up and damaging enclosure seals, exposing sensitive components to water and debris.
Gore application engineers simulated a rapid heating and cooling cycle to understand the effects of pressure differentials. To learn more about the test and results, you can read the documentation and view the video on this page.
GORE® Protective Vents enable product designs that keep out water but still vent gasses. This is important for lighting enclosures, solar energy systems and telecommunication systems which may need to be vented to ensure that they perform reliably.
