DIN 61439-1
Section 8. Any condensate occurring transported

also takes place environments with almost constant air humidity and
temperature, the air the interior the enclosure heats up, e. These effects are intensified
by the power loss generated the enclosures.
The Air ventilation elements therefore have very large, open filter sur-
face that guarantees high air exchange without influencing the air flow.68
AK Air and BEL Air ventilation elements
The Air ventilation element prevents condensate water, while maintaining
the high IP65 protection rating. This only applies under the condition
that increased demands are imposed with respect protection

If requirements for contact protection foreign body protection
are also imposed the enclosure, for example IP3X, recommend

The constant pressure equalisation prevents pressure differences,
thus ensuring that mechanical forces can exerted the enclosure

Recommendation: least one complete air exchange provided
per day via the BEL Air. Owing the differences
in temperature, difference also arises the pressure conditions, which
causes the enclosure draw air when the temperature changes. Since this effect occurs regularly, even daily extent,

fluctuating temperatures are expected. The continuous and high
rate air exchange allows the interior air mix constantly with the
environmental air and transports the moisture outwards.g. Spelsberg junction boxes in

Protection against condensate water

distribution boards, the bigger the likelihood condensation
