Did you know that a closed-up car, sitting in the sun on a hot day can reach upwards of 130 degrees inside? Your car essentially becomes an oven on low and bakes whatever electronics are inside. Sometimes it is just not feasible to carry all of your electronic gear with you, even if you do have a case that holds them all. Depending on your field, you could be assigned a phone, a tablet, a laptop, or all three. While fall is right around the corner, there is still time for a few more 100+ degree days. How do you keep your electronics cool in the heat? Investing in custom cases is your best solution.
Take Them Out
Whenever possible, don’t leave your electronics in the car. The high temperature of the “greenhouse effect” in your car can kill your electronics. If you must leave them in the car, try to park in the shade, to decrease the impact of the direct sun. Don’t leave the electronics sitting out where the sun might shine directly on them. If possible, cover them with a white cloth or newspaper to reflect as much of the heat as possible.
Run The Air
We all try to run our cars as fuel-efficiently as possible, and sometimes that means we go without the AC. If you’re using your electronics in the car, do them a favor and run the AC. They are making their own heat because they’re on, so you should do what you can to keep them cool. You should also make sure the internal fan(s) are clean and clear and working.
Invest In “Rugged” Tech Cases
Rugged sounds like a marketing buzzword, but it actually has a very specific meaning in this case. Devices that are labeled “rugged” meet military-grade specifications in regards to their ability to withstand temperature extremes and other environmental considerations. Rugged equipment usually has a heat sink and fan that keeps it cool, but they are more expensive than standard equipment. If “rugged” equipment isn’t in your price range, consider a custom case. It can be equipped with extra fans or cooling systems to meet your needs.
