Regularly Clean Cooling Filters to Prevent Dust Buildup
Summer heat combined with increased dust can clog cooling filters, leading to overheating. Clean them weekly with a soft brush or vacuum. In dusty or sandy areas, check every three days. A severely clogged filter can raise internal temperatures by over 10°C, accelerating component wear.
Check Cooling Fan Performance for Optimal Operation
In high temperatures, cooling fans run at full capacity and may develop abnormal noises or reduced speed. Engineers should test fan performance monthly, listen for unusual sounds, and monitor exhaust temperatures with an infrared thermometer. If exhaust exceeds 50°C, repair or replace the fan immediately to avoid shutdowns.
Optimize Ventilation Space Around the Equipment
Many scanners are placed too close to walls due to space constraints, hindering heat dissipation. Maintain at least 30cm of clearance to prevent hot air recirculation. For outdoor setups (e.g., music festivals), use shade covers and portable cooling fans to mitigate heat impact.
Adjust Maintenance Cycles for Extreme Weather
Humid, sweltering conditions before summer storms severely affect electronics. Shorten maintenance intervals by 50%—e.g., switch from quarterly to monthly checks—focusing on moisture-resistant coatings and connector oxidation. Coastal areas should also apply anti-rust agents to metal parts to prevent salt corrosion.
Final Note:
"Overheating scanners can jeopardize public safety." Eastimage advises following these tips to extend device lifespan by 30%+ and ensure stable performance during peak travel seasons.
