question about humidity effects
 

i live in a region where humidity ranges can be characterized as extreme

one of my concerns is how this can effect extreme cooling methods such as peltiers where frost can build

we see humidity levels that can range from as low as -5% to 70+% within a couple days

the question is: how does one control and prevent these kind of extremes from creating a meltdown, having seen pics of frost laden blocks, within one's case?

Re: question about humidity effects
 

you insulate the block that is doing the cooling well enough that the condensation does not form. This prevents the MB from getting water ladden; although in your case I would worry if that would be enough because even if the insulation drops one or two degrees below abient then it might form condensation.

thank you for your reply laxman

that is definately along the lines of what concerns me ....

what materials are best used for insulation in these instances??

Re: question about humidity effects
 

neoprene and dia-electric grease

He is right about the insulation, and remember that neoprene does better when is it not compressed.
