SuperUser阅读器user598527想知道高湿度是否会损坏电子设备:
My small vacation apartment does not have a ventilation hood above the stove, so even the simplest kitchen task, like boiling water, creates a noticeable amount of condensation on the windows. I try to keep a window open whenever possible to cut down on the excess moisture. At what point can high indoor humidity cause hardware damage?
我的小型度假公寓的炉灶上方没有通风罩,因此即使是最简单的厨房任务(如开水),也会在窗户上产生大量冷凝水。 我会尽量保持窗户开着,以减少多余的水分。 室内高湿度会在什么时候造成硬件损坏?

高湿度会损坏电子设备吗?
答案 (The Answer)
SuperUser contributors Julian Knight and Toby Speight have the answer for us. First up, Julian Knight:
超级用户贡献者Julian Knight和Toby Speight为我们提供了答案。 首先,朱利安·奈特(Julian Knight):
There are several forms of damage that high humidity can cause. Condensation on metallic parts may cause corrosion and combining condensation with the dust you get in any space occupied by people can clog up vents and overlay components, thus preventing sufficient cooling.
高湿度可能会导致多种形式的损坏。 金属零件上的凝结可能会导致腐蚀,并且凝结与您在任何人所占据的空间中进入的灰尘相结合会堵塞通风Kong和覆盖组件,从而导致无法充分冷却。
However, you might find that you do not, in fact, have a humidity problem, just a condensation problem which is unlikely to really impact your electronics that much. You might get a humidity sensor to check, but it is generally quite hard to reach levels of humidity that will actually cause damage since it would likely need to exceed 80 percent for extended periods of time. That would be very unhealthy and will cause far more damage to you than to your electronics. Humidity should be kept at around 40-60 percent for occupied areas.
但是,您可能会发现实际上并没有湿度问题,而只是凝结问题,不太可能对电子设备造成太大影响。 您可能需要检查湿度传感器,但是通常很难达到实际上会造成损坏的湿度水平,因为长时间可能需要超过80%。 那将是非常不健康的,对您造成的损害要比对电子产品造成的损害更大。 占用区域的湿度应保持在40-60%左右。
Condensation on the other hand, simply happens when the moisture in the air touches a surface with a temperature below the dew point. This can still be unhealthy since it can breed mold, which can be quite dangerous to your health. But this is unlikely to cause problems for your electronics. You might experience some problems with electronics that you bring in from outdoors, so it might be wise to let them acclimatize for a while before using them indoors.
另一方面,当空气中的湿气接触温度低于露点的表面时,只会发生冷凝。 这仍然可能是不健康的,因为它会滋生霉菌,对您的健康非常危险。 但这不太可能给您的电子设备造成问题。 您可能会遇到从户外带入的电子设备的一些问题,因此明智的做法是让它们在室内使用之前先适应一段时间。
You should get someone to install a large capacity extractor fan so that you can get the humid air out as quickly as possible.
您应该找人安装大容量的排风扇,以便尽快排出潮湿的空气。

Followed by the answer from Toby Speight:
随后是Toby Speight的回答:
Most general purpose computing hardware is relatively well protected against environmental humidity. When operating, device temperatures will normally be somewhat above ambient, which reduces the risk of condensation.
大多数通用计算硬件都受到相对良好的环境湿度保护。 运行时,设备温度通常会略高于环境温度,这会降低冷凝的风险。
The items you will want to be most concerned about are tape drives and other magnetic media, especially if the tapes are stored somewhere cool.
您将要最关注的项目是磁带驱动器和其他磁性介质,尤其是如果磁带存放在凉爽的地方。
Also, allow computer equipment time to warm up if it has been moved from a colder environment into a damp/humid one.
此外,如果计算机设备已从较冷的环境移至潮湿的环境,则要等待一段时间。
