In extreme cold conditions, the system works as follows.
Problem:The window of the optical system is covered with ice and condensation, which blocks vision.
Decision:The electrothermal heater turns on automatically when humidity sensors detect ice formation.
Warm air circulates inside the optical module, preventing fogging.
The compressed air purge system periodically cleans the exterior window.
The hydrophobic coating repels water, preventing it from freezing.
Compensation:Materials behave differently at very low temperatures. The processor uses a built-in thermistor to monitor the temperature and automatically adjusts the calibration coefficients to ensure that the readings remain accurate.
