External Dew Condensation

The picture on the left was taken at a construction site on April 8, 2000.
A person in charge of the construction reported us that he could see dew condensation where no one living yet.
He claimed it to us, as he was told of the SPACIA would hardly
condense dew.
The location is Kumanogawa town of Wakayama Prefecture, a warm
area in the southern part of the Kii peninsula.

We went there for an investigation and found dew condensation appeared outside of the glass.
Probably a very humid air from the ocean blew onto the glass, but warm air was trapped in
the room by the SPACIA.  No one was living at that time, as it was under construction.
Once very humid air meets with a cold object whose temperature is lower than the air itself,
it disgorges the moisture as dew condensation. 
It was assumed that the glass was kept at a low temperature from the previous night. 
A warm air in the room conducted through the spacers to outside of the glass,
and around the spacers was transparent.
Leaking of the inner temperature is only through the micro-spacers.
The frame of sliding door made of aluminum directly conducts inner room temperature to outside,
therefore, dew condensation does not occur.
This proves Spacia's high insulation function.

The photo on the left was taken on December 27, 1997, a cold winter morning.
Usually, it is very dry in the wintertime, but it was rain on that day due to a cold
front passed and it caused to drop the temperature.

As the external temperature went up, dew condensation occurred outside of
the house.

The heat in the room conducted to the micro-spacers and leaked out to the
outside, which caused to blow out the moisture on the parts due to a slight
difference of the temperature that could be observed as transparent spots.

The room was not heated.  It a phenomenon ha
ppened on a little window
of a bathroom.

We have never experienced any dew condensation outside of window
and such dew condensation has never reported as far as any layered glass is concerned.

We have, therefore, named it as Flowers of Spacia after two (2) of these incidences,
as it definitely proves wonderful function of the SPACIA.
