SensorsBy Gary Chan, W.L. GoreDesigners often overlook the natural phenomenon of gas expansion and contraction. As internal and external temperatures fluctuate during the electronics power cycles and weather changes, the internal air expands or contracts in response, generating pressure changes. The enclosure tries to equalize internal pressure by drawing air in or forcing it out, often referred to as breathing.
