1. Уводзіны
The Ruggard EDC-180LC Electronic Dry Cabinet is designed to protect sensitive equipment such as cameras, lenses, photographic and optical instruments, and mobile electronics from excessive moisture, dirt, and dust. This cabinet features dual humidity zones, allowing for independent humidity control in the upper and lower compartments.
Its fast-acting TE Cooling Wafer technology regulates the interior's relative humidity from 60% down to 35%, effectively preventing corrosion and damage to delicate items. Humidity adjustments typically occur within a 1- to 3-hour period. The cabinet operates silently, without a fan or compressor, and eliminates the need for a water tray.
