Enclosures and containers: a look at their vulnerabilities and the role of Milvent Vents in preventing failure

In the high-tech world of today, enclosures and containers are a crucial part of protecting sensitive equipment and ensuring optimal performance. However, these enclosures and containers are not invulnerable. They are susceptible to a range of issues, including failed seals, condensation, and contamination. Additionally, they can experience leakage and structural failure.

What are the factors that contribute to these failures? A change in internal pressure is a common culprit. This pressure change can be caused by a variety of factors, including temperature changes or altitude changes. For example, when a container’s contents outgas or scavenge oxygen, it can create a pressure imbalance that stresses the seals. In the case of mobile devices, enclosures are particularly vulnerable if they are not adequately protected against liquids, dust, and other environmental factors.

When enclosures and containers fail, the consequences can be severe. Product performance can be affected, potentially leading to reliability issues and decreased durability. At the extreme, these failures can result in expensive product failures or significant clean-up costs.

Milvent Vents play a crucial role in keeping these failures from happening. These vents allow enclosures and containers to “breathe”, equalizing pressure and reducing condensation while filtering out liquids and other contaminants. By doing so, Milvent Vents help to maintain product performance, increase durability, and ensure higher reliability. Peace of mind is also provided to the user, knowing that their products are being protected against the worst possible outcomes.
