We have a device that is enclosed within an aluminum enclosure. There is a small hole (0.189 inch diameter) that is covered with a unique water filtering fiber. Thus, water will is prohibited from following through the vent however water vapor, although restricted will pass. Our major concern is about water vapor. Water vapor will pass thru the filter and cause problems with condensation within the unit, since the unit will move from an outdoor to indoor environment. What methods can be used to reduce condensation from occuring within this aluminum enclosure? Is a disiccant useful or will it over time just become a problem? Temperature range is -40C - +85C. Humidity levels 20% - 90%.
