SAISHUN Telecommunications Equipment Vent

Equipment used in the telecommunications industry is subjected to rapid temperature fluctuations, a variety of particulates, and exposure to wind, precipitation and solar radiation.

For example, in tower-mounted antennas and other equipment with active electronics, heat is dissipated into the housing. This increases the pressure, resulting in stress on the housing seals. A sudden rainstorm or high wind can cause a drop in temperature creating a 200 mbar (3 psi) vacuum inside an enclosure, which puts stress on the housing’s seals. If the internal pressure is not equalized, water, moisture, dust and dirt are drawn into the housing. This can compromise the equipment performance, leading to additional maintenance or warranty costs.

Installing a vent in the equipment housing equalizes the internal pressure and prevents contaminants from entering the enclosure. SAISHUN Telecommunications Equipment Vents are the ideal solution, because they provide consistent pressure equalization within an enclosure and preserve the integrity of the housing’s seals.
