CONCLUSION
Due to the unique design constraints on this application, traditional honeycomb vent media was not an option due to the limited amount or real estate to work with.
Our engineers came up with a 50 openings per inch (OPI) stainless steel mesh instead, which represented a unique manufacturing challenge being able to secure the flexible mesh to the vent frame. The frame was then grounded to the chassis via a CHO-SEAL® S6305 conductive elastomer in a groove.
