Results show that venting, to equalize internal pressures, improves luminaire reliability. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics Reliability in Network Infrastructure White Papers, 1.39 MB FEBRUARY 2014 // After up to 11 years in the field, 29 tower-mounted amplifiers and combiners with GORE® Vents were inspected and integrity-tested. 100% of the units exceeded recommended airflow and 90% passed the IPX7 immersion test, demonstrating the vents’ exceptional reliability. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics How to Extend the Service Life of LED Outdoor Lighting White Papers, 532.55 KB AUGUST 2014 // This paper provides data from long-term studies that demonstrate how integrating a GORE® Protective Vent can extend the life of LED outdoor luminaires, by protecting against seal-stressing pressure differentials, condensation formation and ingress of contaminants. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics Impact Of Environmental Hazards On Internal Soiling Within Concentrator Photovoltaic (CPV) Modules White Papers, 762.55 KB 2013 // This paper details the value of using robust, IP6Y-compliant GORE® Vents to effectively block the water and contaminants that could otherwise compromise a solar module’s expected 25-year lifespan. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics Condensation Reduction in Security Cameras White Papers, 515.7 KB FEBRUARY 2015 // This study compares the performance of two IP66-compliant methods for reducing condensation in security camera housings. The GORE® Protective Vent was much more effective than desiccant at dissipating moisture, preventing seal failure and subsequent ingress of liquids. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics Temperature Cycling Tests to Evaluate Product Life White Papers, 1005 KB JULY 2014 // These tests of vented and non-vented IP66-rated junction boxes demonstrate that GORE® Vents can help lengthen solar equipment service life, because they preserve seal integrity, block liquids and contaminants, and effectively diffuse water vapor to minimize condensation. English (U.S.) Protective Vents for Outdoor Electronics Reliability Testing of GORE® Protective Vents in Telecommunication Enclosures White Papers, 659.05 KB, April 2016 MAY 2013 // Both vented and non-vented IP67 telecommunications enclosures were tested for reliability after exposure to real-world challenges: sudden temperature changes, temperature changes with concurrent water exposure, and repeated cycles of hot/cold and wet/dry conditions.
