1.7.8 - Dew Point graph

The relationship between Relative Humidity and Dew Point at varying Ambient Temperature is shown in Figure 3. This

can be used to calculate the minimum temperature the cooling water should be set to.

Figure 3: Dew Point Graph

For example, when using an iXon Ultra 897, you will need 10ºC cooling water to guarantee performance down to -100ºC

In the relatively dry atmosphere of an air-conditioned lab, cooling water at 10ºC should not present any problems.

However, in humid conditions (such as exist in some parts of the world) condensation may occur, resulting in damage

to the head. In such conditions you will have to use warmer water (20ºC or even higher if it is very humid). The minimum

EMCCD temperature would then be limited to a higher value.
