Did condensation not pose a problem? Not just immediate shorts, but perhaps corrosion and the laptop dying earlier than expected.



You get condensation when you move from a cold environment to a hot one. When your piece of equipment is colder than the surrounding air's dew point.

So you need to worry about condensation, when you take the equipment out of the fridge at the end.

(Where I live now, our dew point is typically at 24C throughout the day. So anything at or below that temperature collects water. That's about 75F.)


Fridges are very low humidity environments.


It's the humidity of the kitchen that gets you though.
