🔍 Key Concepts

• Heat effects on sensitive electronic components (moisture, corrosion, thermal shock) • Differences between steam, hot water, electric resistance, and thermal oil as heat sources • Risk of condensation, arcing, or rapid temperature swings around electronics

💭 Think About

• Which heating method provides the most stable, gentle, and controllable temperature in a space with electronics? • Which methods might introduce moisture, high surface temperatures, or rapid changes that could harm electronic equipment? • Think about which system is commonly used in computer rooms, control rooms, or electronics spaces on ships.

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any option that could introduce water vapor or condensate near electronics • Consider which system typically has lower surface temperatures and smoother temperature control • Ask: Which system is often chosen in practice to protect sensitive navigation and communication electronics?
