Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for a system and method to help prevent condensation inside an enclosure that includes an electronic system. The system and method can determine a current relative humidity of an environment inside an enclosure that houses the electronic system, use the current relative humidity and the current maximum temperature to determine a dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, activate one or more heating elements inside the enclosure when the current minimum temperature is the same or lower than the dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, activate one or more embedded fans, and open one or more vents to help purge moisture out of the system during heating. When the current minimum temperature is higher than the dew point for the environment inside the enclosure, the system and method can allow the electronic system to power on.
