ABSTRACT:
An enclosure for electronic equipment, especially for electronic equipment such as laser printers that must be protected from dirt and dust. The enclosure is a stand along casing having, for instance, a small, self-contained air conditioning unit contained therein. The electronic equipment is supported on a horizontal support surface which forms the top of the case. The enclosure has two main embodiments; a partial covering for the electronic equipment, located adjacent the horizontal surface, and a total cover over the entire horizontal surface. In each, filtered air drawn by the air conditioner is directed beneath the cover by baffles within the case. In the partial cover, the cover abuts an air input vent on the electronic equipment and conditioned, i.e. clean air from the conditioner is forced within the equipment casing at a high rate to prevent ingress of dirt therein. Conditioned air is directed into the total cover to form a blanket of air around the enclosed electronic equipment to prevent dirt from intruding. The air conditioning unit preferably has means for cooling and/or warming the conditioned air to modify the temperature of the enclosed electronic equipment as necessary to provide optimal operation of the equipment. Dehumidifying means are includable in or out of combination with temperature modifying means.
