Managing Projector Lens Fogging in Humid Environments

[catherinebennett]

Hello everyone,

 

We have been facing an issue with lens fogging on our digital projectors; particularly during humid weather / when there’s a sudden temperature change in the theater. This results in reduced image quality and occasional delays in starting screenings while we wait for the lens to clear.😇

We are currently exploring potential solutions; such as adjusting the projector’s operating environment or using dehumidifiers in the projection room. However, we’d like to hear from others who might have dealt with similar problems—what worked for you?🤔 I have referred https://ivankyo.com/blogs/tech/how-to-remove-the-condensation-inside-the-projectors-lens-Splunk guide but still need help. 

 

Are there specific products, techniques / projector settings that you’d recommend for minimizing or preventing lens fogging?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you ! 🙂

Condensation is to be avoided. All environmental data are also logged by the projector. Operating outside specified conditions, temperature and condensation, are logged and void warranties.

Long term humidity is, what fungus needs to live. It will build up on many glass surfaces, including these installed within the projector.

Therefore air conditioned spaces as projector rooms are best, and they are not a luxury item. Try to install A/C system in the room with the projector. There still is the port glass, which might also become foggy when outside air is warm and humid, and booth temperature is cold.

I once got a service call, from a client, that the image suddenly turned blurred, and he is requesting immediate warranty repairs. 

It turned out to on a rainy day in winter, when patrons arrived in damp coats in the heated room, and the booth space was an unheated, non thermally insulated and directly coupled to the outside air shed.

It was condensation on the outside of the port glass.
