IP65, IP66\u2026 the reflex has become almost automatic.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On paper, it makes sense. The IP code indicates resistance to water and dust. It&#8217;s a common language between designers, buyers, and installers.<br\/>  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in practice, this reasoning quickly shows its limitations.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A perfectly sealed cabinet can become a closed system subject to thermal cycles. When the temperature drops, the internal air reaches its dew point. Humidity then forms\u2026 inside the cabinet itself.<br\/>  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This internal condensation phenomenon is the cause of a large proportion of breakdowns in analytical equipment.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that is precisely where the paradox lies:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IP code does not cover this risk.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also does not cover:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Corrosion<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>UV radiation<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chemical atmospheres<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phenomena related to thermal cycles<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, an IP66 cabinet can be perfectly compliant\u2026 and yet unsuitable for the real environment.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 3 main risks that actually cause breakdowns<br\/><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list of environmental constraints in technical documents is long. In practice, experience shows that three phenomena account for the majority of failures and maintenance costs.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Internal condensation<br\/><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the most critical and most underestimated risk.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It appears without any visible signs, often after several thermal cycles. It deposits itself on components, connections, and circuits. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its effects are gradual:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Internal corrosion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insulation defects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measurement instability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is typically the type of problem that is not detected immediately but degrades performance over time.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Corrosion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is highly dependent on the environment: industrial sites, saline areas, air pollution.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to popular belief, it does not only concern metallic parts. It also affects interfaces, assemblies and connections.<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It translates to:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Material degradation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loss of connection reliability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increase in maintenance interventions<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Overheating due to solar radiation<br\/><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An outer envelope exposed to the sun functions as a closed thermal volume.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without proper management, the internal temperature can drift significantly.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequences :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Instrument drift<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Accelerated aging<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Unwanted triggering<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These three risks should not be analyzed in isolation. They are constantly combined:<br\/> <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heat + humidity \u2192 condensation; <br\/>humidity + pollution \u2192 corrosion<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is this interaction that makes outdoor environments particularly complex.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What this implies for the integration of equipment<br\/><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At this point, the question changes completely in nature.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is no longer a question of choosing a shell, but of designing a controlled operating environment.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The equipment involved is varied:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Process analyzers<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transmitters<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manifolds<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sampling canes<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instrumentation boxes<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They all have one thing in common: they are sensitive to the magnitudes of influence.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Temperature, humidity, and mechanical stresses directly impact:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>measurement accuracy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>continuity of service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is why a simple standard wardrobe quickly reaches its limits.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A suitable solution must integrate several dimensions simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Thermal control<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal is to control internal conditions, not simply to isolate.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can involve:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ventilation<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heating<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Air Conditioning<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice depends on the context, but the objective remains the same: to avoid thermal drifts and limit condensation.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Internal organization<br\/><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The placement of equipment has a direct impact on its operation.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We need to think about:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Accessibility for maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Separation of sensitive areas<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Airflow management<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Network management<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The routing of cables and tubing is often a weak point in installations.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A suitable design allows for:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>to prevent moisture from entering<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to limit mechanical stress<br\/><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>to facilitate interventions<br\/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In certain configurations, solutions such as raised floors can improve this organization.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is precisely on this logic of integration that the solutions proposed by Gensollen are positioned: not only to contain the equipment, but to integrate it into an environment adapted to the real constraints.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One point of concern: ATEX environments<br\/><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:29px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In certain sectors, particularly oil &amp; gas or petrochemicals, the presence of explosive atmospheres imposes specific constraints.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These environments are subject to strict regulatory frameworks and require tailored solutions from the design stage.<br\/><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This subject cannot be addressed by approximation.
