Figure 39: Endurance® Head with Air/Water-Cooled Housing Option
For ambient temperatures exceeding 175°C (350°F), the ThermoJacket can
be used. This accessory allows operation at ambient temperatures up to
315°C (600°F)!

8.5.1. Avoidance of Condensation

If environmental conditions makes water cooling necessary, it is strictly recommended to
check whether condensation will be a real problem or not. Water-cooling also causes a
cooling of the air in the inner part of the sensor, thereby decreasing the capability of the air to
hold water. The relative humidity increases and can reach 100% very quickly. In case of a
further cooling, the surplus water vapor will condense out as water. The water will condense
on the lenses and the electronics resulting in possible damage to the sensor. Condensation
can even happen on an IP65 sealed housing.
There is no warranty repair possible in case of condensation within the
housing!
