Gore® vents

GORE® membrane vents equalize enclosure pressure 

GORE® vents let sealed enclosures 'breathe' allowing airflow in and out.  Membrane vents eliminate pressure differentials created when sealed enclosures are exposed to rapid, recurring changes in environmental conditions. Vents improve enclosure failed seals performance. (Read the 5 Year Vent Impact Study?)

 Virtually eliminate condensation

 Rapid pressure equalization

 Block contaminants water, dust, dirt, liquids

 Protect against 'board level' electronics failures

Install easily into existing housing designs

 Eliminate hazardous gas build up

 Improve seal performance eliminate seal failure

 Good for altitude change  pressure elimination

 Eliminate vacuum in
enclosures

 

Vents eliminate enclosure pressure differentials in harsh environments and protect against corrosion:Gore Vents

  • quick changes in temperature (thunderstorm on a hot, sunny day) 
  • altitude changes                                                                                   
  • heating and cooling cycles from internal heat sources 
  • vacuum causes continued stress on housing seals resulting in failure, pulling in moisture and contaminants
  • wind driven rain, directed hose spray and hazardous battery gas build up

Pressure effects put high loads on sidewalls that deform and fatigue causing seal leak paths. "Hidden Design Challenge of Pressure Differentials" (Jason Zambotti, W.L. Gore & Associates) Gore Vents Importance of Venting
