Picking the right color for your custom cases can help you protect your precious cargo from the effects of heat.
There are numerous factors that go into creating the perfect custom case for your equipment and needs. Knowing where your equipment is going and what kind of environmental challenges it will face is key. How will it be traveling? Will it suffer direct exposure to sunlight and moisture? Will it be victim to high or low temperatures which can be potentially damaging? While there are a number of technological advancements which can be used to reduce the inner temperature of custom cases, color cannot be forgotten. In fact, depending on the conditions your case will meet, choosing the color wisely can eliminate the need for extra cooling technology completely.
Taking The Problems Posed By Sunlight Head On
Sunlight has the most direct effect around the equator and is weakest at the earth’s poles. The moisture posed by different environments must also be considered, such as the moisture richness of coasts. Cloudy regions also get less direct sunlight. It is key to take the surface material and color of your custom case into account, as some colors and materials absorb heat and others reflect it.
How Different Colors Will Affect Your Custom Case
When light hits an opaque surface, it is either reflected or absorbed, resulting in the visible colors we perceive with our eyes. When you perceive the color red or blue, for example, you are not actually seeing the color in itself, but a reflection of that wavelength of light. White reflects every color of light, meaning that it absorbs none and will help to keep your sensitive equipment cool even under hot conditions. Darker colors, such as deep blues and black, absorb all wavelengths of color, on the other hand – meaning that absorbs the heat of the sun easily. Dark custom cases will require extra cooling technology.
