Dear Colleagues,
Whenever there is a difference of temperature and pressure of water vapour across a structure, conditions may develop that lead to a condensation of moisture. Condensation on a structure/window in an air conditioned area, generally, may be corrected by the following methods.
i) Increase thermal resistance of walls, roofs and floors by adding insulation with vapour barriers to prevent condensation within the structures.
ii) Increase the thermal resistance of glass by installing two or three panes with air space(s) between. In extreme cases controlled heat, electric or other may be applied between the glasses of double glazed windows.
iii) Maintain a room dew point lower than the lowest expected surface temperature in the room.
iv) Decrease surface resistance by increasing the velocity of air passing over the surface. Decreasing the surface resistance increases the window surface temperature and brings it closer to the room dry- bulb temperature
Buildings are provided with double glazing window. Rubberized seal in the glazing unit is replaced at regular interval. Operating parameters of air conditioning system are logged regularly and they are within acceptable limits. Any suggestions to analyze this problem will be appreciated
