Details of the Innovation Need

I. Background:

Find technical solutions for airtight and water resisting (liquid water, water molecules, and water vapor molecules)

II. Parameters:

1. Equipped with a volume of 321L products.

2. The external temperature of the test container is 32°C, 80% RH.

3. The internal temperature of product is set at -18 °C with temperature fluctuations ± 2.5 °C.

4. The technical module is required to achieve a pressure difference of 20~100Pa and the air permeability is 350-1600ml/min.

5. Technical module requirements: breathable waterproof (liquid water, water molecules, water vapor molecules).

6. It is required to reduce the moisture content of the air entering the outside by about 70% under the above-mentioned air permeability.
