dew point

abyssling · 11-21-2002, 11:17 AM

At what point below ambient temperatures does condensation begin to occur? I know that case humidity is a factor as well, but in a standard case.

I'm trying to figure out a way to regulate voltage to my TEC chiller to keep my temps above the dew point but i'm not sure exactly at what point that is.

Also does anyone know of any way to regulate the humidity in a case without using a big humidifier sitting next to your case? mayhap a smaller solution i could mount internally? its not a very large volume of air that needs to be kept dry...

If you can seal your case or at least keep airflow through it low, you can put a tray of calcium salt down to absorb moisture.

Might not be possible unless you're watercooling *everything*, though.
