Out-of-home advertising is a broad category that covers any type of marketing that reaches consumers when they are outside of their homes. Billboards, bus stop benches, and elevator doors are all examples of common OOH ad locations. With the rise of digital signage, advertisers now have the ability to deliver dynamic content that can be updated in real-time, which has made OOH even more popular. Digital signage kiosks are becoming increasingly common as a result.


One important consideration for any type of digital signage, especially for those that will be used outdoors, is the level of protection that the enclosure provides. Enclosures for outdoor digital signage need to be able to withstand harsh weather conditions, as well as vandalism and tampering. IP65 enclosures are designed to do just that.

Outdoor outdoor kiosk due to the high brightness of the LCD screen itself heat, plus the sun's irradiation, it is easy to cause the screen black screen, so the high brightness of the screen heat dissipation has become a top priority. Heat dissipation is also reflected in the outdoor outdoor kiosk fan air volume, wind pressure calculation and a reasonable circulation of air duct. Currently on the market outdoor outdoor kiosk with heat sink is divided into: air cooling heat, air conditioning heat, heat exchanger heat dissipation. Today, we focus on air cooling heat and air conditioning heat.


The principle of air-cooled heat dissipation is to alternate the hot air inside the outdoor kiosk with the outside wind, interchangeable so as to achieve cooling, and cooling the key components of the speed control board is the most important, there is only one available on the market speed control board without fan start/stop function, the workmanship is relatively crude, poor stability. CY Digital Signage uses a new fan speed control board, which can make outdoor outdoor kiosk cooling more reasonable, more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

The principle of air conditioner heat dissipation is that the compressor has environmental protection R134a refrigerant, using the refrigerant vaporization and liquefaction, the internal heat of the outdoor kiosk to the outside, when the internal temperature of the outdoor kiosk reaches 35 ℃, it can start the cooling function independently, and the temperature drops to 30 ℃ compressor stops working. The air conditioning environment can be completely isolated from the outside world, and its protection level is higher than air-cooled, air-cooled can only do IP55 while the air conditioning can do IP65.


Usually, we use the air-cooled cooling system inside the outdoor kiosk for IP55, and use the air-conditioning cooling system inside the outdoor kiosk for IP65.

What is IP55 & IP65?
IP55 or IP65 is a designation assigned to enclosures that are both dust-tight and waterproof. In order for an enclosure to be IP55 or IP65 rated, it must pass a series of tests that ensure it is sealed against dust ingress and can withstand low pressure water jets from all directions. In other words, an IP55 & IP65 enclosure can protect your digital signage investment from just about anything the outdoors can throw at it.

Why is IP55 & IP65 Important?
If you are planning on using your digital signage kiosk outdoors, then choosing an enclosure with an IP65 rating is a no-brainer. However, even if you are only planning on using your kiosk indoors, there are still benefits to choosing an IP65 rated enclosure. Dust and other particulates can build up inside an enclosure over time and cause problems with ventilation and airflow. By choosing an IP65 enclosure, you can rest assured knowing that your kiosk will be protected from both the elements and potential internal buildup of dust and debris.

Conclusion: 
When selecting an enclosure for your digital signage kiosk, always choose one with an IP55 and IP65 rating. Doing so will ensure that your kiosk is protected from the elements, as well as dust buildup over time. By investing in an IP55 and IP65 waterproof kiosk enclosure, you can rest easy knowing that your digital signage investment is safe and secure.
