Interior Window Fogging - An Analysis of the Parameters Involved *

Many factors are directly related to the occurrence of window fogging and flash fogging. The pertinent variables affecting the problem are identified and discussed. In simple terms, fogging is dependent upon the difference between the dew point temperature of the interior environment and the glass surface temperature. Several dew point and glass temperature curves have been computed which typify various operating conditions. Alternatives that will help to eliminate fogging are discussed.
