Q: How can I prevent condensation?
A: You can prevent condensation by understanding what causes it. Condensation occurs when the Dew Point clashes with the surface temperature of the Thermal Block and creates moisture.
Several ways to prevent condensation are: Lower humidity levels in room; use a protective cover over Thermal Block and/or provide a nitrogen blanket under cover to offset ambient influences, particularly for low temp applications.
