INTERIOR WINDOW FOGGING-ANALYSIS OF THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED

MANY FACTORS ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE OCCURENCE OF WINDOW FOGGING AND FLASH FOGGING. THE PERTINENT VARIABLES EFFECTING THE PROBLEM ARE IDENTIFIED AND DISCUSSED. IN SIMPLE TERMS, FOGGING IS DEPENDENT UPON THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEW POINT TEMPERATURE OF THE INTERIOR ENVIRONMENT AND THE GLASS SURFACE TEMPERATURE. SEVERAL DEW POINT AND GLASS TEMPERATURE CURVES HAVE BEEN COMPUTED WHICH TYPIFY VARIOUS OPERATING CONDITIONS. ALTERNATIVES THAT WILL HELP TO ELIMINATE FOGGING ARE DISCUSSED.
