For industrial computer, some purchasing personnel will always have some doubts after receiving the specifications issued by the manufacturer, especially in the application environment, there are working temperature and storage temperature. What is the difference between these two terms?
The working temperature refers to the ambient temperature when in use; the storage temperature refers to the ambient temperature in storage when not in use.
The working temperature and storage temperature of the industrial computer are obvious. When our machine is working, our company promises to operate stably in the external environment of -10～60℃. If it is less than -10°C or higher than 60°C, our company cannot guarantee whether the industrial computer can operate stably, but it does not mean that the industrial computer will not work if it exceeds our working temperature range. For example, the three-guarantee standard for a car is 3 years or 100,000 kilometers. It does not mean that the car will break after driving for 3 years or 100,000 kilometers.
Similarly, the storage temperature of the industrial computer IPC-606 is -20～70℃. This is our promise that the industrial computer can store data normally under this working environment temperature.
When choosing an industrial computer, it is recommended that customers choose according to their own ambient temperature. The working temperature often takes into account the external ambient temperature and the internal heat dissipation of the industrial computer. The use environment of industrial computers is relatively harsh. In terms of heat dissipation, many of them use low-power processors and fanless passive cooling systems. The whole machine is anti-smoke and anti-fog (non-condensing).
The use of industrial computer environment temperature is too low or too high, will affect its performance. The editor recommends that when choosing an industrial computer, it is best to borrow an industrial computer from the factory for testing, and then determine the best solution after the test passes.
