Although many electronic devices and appliances are designed to withstand high temperatures, the recommended limit is 35 degrees and, unfortunately, this is a temperature that is exceeded by heat waves and can cause severe damage to them.
There is no doubt that the high temperatures that we have been registering in recent summers have taken their toll not only on our body, but also on our other aspects of our life that are very important to us, such as our home and also our electronic devices and appliances.
Extreme heat can directly affect smartphones, computers and tablets, which Not only can they suffer some deformation on the screen or lower its performance -especially to the battery- but they can become useless. For this reason, from Vivienda Saludable we bring you a series of tips, very simple, but effective to increase protection against heat.
Avoid the direct exposure to the sun. It seems like a common sense recommendation not to leave your mobile or your Ipad or Tablet in the sun on the beach or in the pool, but it is that It is also not recommended to leave it on the dashboard of the car for a long period of time (inside the vehicles in summer it can reach more than 60 degrees), or on the terrace or balcony of the house if the sun’s rays hit it directly. If you are going to take an electronic device to the beach or pool, store it in a light-colored backpack in the shade, or at the very least, under a towel.
Save energy and optimize your performance. For it, should not be used while charging, nor leave them plugged into the network for longer than necessary. On the other hand, the accumulation of applications open in the background can end up overheating the devices. so it is recommended close those you are not using or turn off Bluetooth and WiFi when not needed. Experts say that the temperature can be reduced by up to 5 or 10 degrees.
Use protective cover. Better if they are fabric, leather or heat-insulating plastic covers, as low-quality thin plastic cases may melt and damage screens and keyboards. But be careful, you must not obstruct the ventilation in any way when placing the covers.
Lower screen brightness. Turning up the brightness forces the battery to work harder and generate more heat. Also you can resort to dark mode so that, when using darker tones, the screen has to illuminate less, lightening your work.
Avoid computer overheating. For what you have to place it in the least hot place in the room, trying, for example, not to put it next to the window. Ventilate the space properly and maintain the correct temperature with the help of other devices such as air conditioning, fan or a air conditioner
Do not store electrical appliances in spaces without ventilation, especially televisions and refrigerators. And it is that these two appliances produce heat that is dissipated through the back, so sticking them to the wall is a bad idea. Another important aspect is avoid direct sunlightapart from the greater heat it produces, because it can spoil its finishes.
Finally, if any of your electronic devices has overheated, we should not try to cool it down by putting it in the fridge or freezer, as it could damage it. The best thing to do is to cool it down as soon as possible, but progressively, since sudden changes in temperature don’t do them well either. Therefore, it is better to turn off the device and leave it in an area with a not very high temperature, until it recovers an optimal temperature.
