Demisting & De-Icing
Weather conditions can significantly impact the performance of optical sensors and instrumentation, often causing difficulties in obtaining accurate readings or clear images.
In particular, the accumulation of fog or ice on external windows and imaging planes can severely hinder the effectiveness of these systems. Demisting and de-icing, therefore, becomes an essential requirement for maintaining optimal functionality under challenging environmental conditions.
Heated windows are widely regarded as one of the most effective solutions for demisting and de-icing external windows and imaging planes. By incorporating a conductive heating element within the window assembly, these systems can efficiently and rapidly clear any accumulated fog, frost, or ice, ensuring that optical sensors and instruments can continue to operate effectively, even in the most extreme weather conditions.
Our conductive window assemblies are specifically designed to be highly effective in the most extreme operating environments, providing reliable and efficient demisting capabilities for a wide range of sighting systems. These assemblies are carefully engineered to deliver optimal heat distribution and rapid response times, ensuring that the windows remain clear and free of obstruction, regardless of the prevailing environmental conditions.
Our Solutions:
