Abstract

The work aims to propose a laboratory condensation testing method suitable for equipment-level products to address the malfunctions of ground radar equipment caused by condensation in practical applications. Two experimental technical approaches were studied and tested on samples. By comparing the two methods, it was found that the second method demonstrated a more significant effect in inducing condensation, effectively evaluating the operational performance and protective design of products under condensation conditions. This method achieved a comprehensive assessment of electrical design, anti-corrosion/anti-fungal/anti-moisture design, structural design, and sealing design by controlling the temperature variation rate and humidity curve. Experiments indicate that this method can clearly expose weak points in products prone to condensation, providing a basis for improving anti-condensation design and filling the gap in equipment-level condensation testing methods for ground radar. Furthermore, based on extensive experimental data, summaries are provided regarding the testing method, the mechanism and process of condensation, and considerations for anti-condensation design, which can serve as a reference for products in anti-condensation design efforts.
