Temperature Control for Digital Signage

LCD displays are a suitable advertising medium for any environment, however, depending on which State it is to be sited, consideration must be given to the temperature control. Hot and humid States like Florida require a temperature regulator and cooler to keep the sealed unit working at its optimum level, as they work best in cool and dry conditions. This is a simple yet effective addition, included in the unit during manufacture.

Air conditioning is a suitable way of combating this overheating issue, though installing a small cooling unit (opposite effect to a heater) inside the outdoor LCD enclosure, will provide adequate protection against overheating and lessening the damage to the screen from the sun’s glare and heat.

As condensation may also build up inside the outdoor TV cabinet, it is worth contemplating a combined cooling/heating unit (known as a closed-loop system). If a sealed LCD monitor enclosure for digital signage were placed outdoors and the overnight weather was cold and damp, then the build up of condensation from the morning sun could cause untold damage to the display unit, as damp will enter the electrics and destroy the screen and possibly blow the power supply.

Using a closed-loop system eliminates the need for external air being brought into the enclosure, thus minimising the possibility of bringing in external elements, like dust, dirt and moisture, all of which would damage the signage. This system features a regulator which operates at a specifically set temperature, so as the temperature dips; the system kicks in to reach its optimum operating temperature.
