Fig. 3.3. Aluminium foil wrapped around camera housing, cables and hoses.
Fig 3.4 shows the effect of the aluminium foil. In this test radiator cooling (see Section 3.6.2 for more
details) without camera insulation (but with cables insulated) was applied.
Fig. 3.4. Effect of aluminium foil on cable temperature.
The most efficient insulation arrangement is the following:
•
Cooling hoses twisted around electrical cables
•
Aluminium foil wrapped around camera housing as well as hoses and cables behind the camera
•
Cables and camera insulated with several thermally insulating protective sleeves (with outermost
sleeve being air-tight)
•
Low-pressure air blown through the system (in this case air must be able to exit the system
through appropriate opening between the camera housing and the outermost protective sleeve)
