Template:Article Incubator Dust Proof Computer
A dust-proof (dustproof) computer is a new, revolutionary computer that is able to survive and operate in an environment in which dust is a threat to a desktop PC. There has been a need for this technology mainly for military and industrial use, where computers operate under extreme environments. A dust proof computer is a fully-functional computer such as a desktop or server, that is immune to airborne particles.
1.) Dust-proofing techniques: Dust proof computers are impervious to the effects of dust because contaminates do not enter the case or chassis of the computer. One method of dust-proofing involved the use of air filters, in which outside air is circulated inside the casing by first going through air filters and having to be replaced as necessary when the filter inhibits air flow. Failure to replace the filter can lead to the system overheating and eventually failing. A better solution to dust proofing computers is to design a sealed case where outside air cannot enter the system and other means are used to dissipate the heat generated internally.
2. Difficulties with dust proof computers Although the advantage of dust proof computers is to keep out any harmful airborne contaminates to the computer, the problem arises where heat builds up inside the case and can cause components to fail. The use of fans would only circulate heated air in a sealed system, and outward-blowing fans would introduce a passage for dust in an unsealed system. The challenge is to remove as much heat as possible, as quickly as possible, to prevent the system from overheating.
