Pro AV Magazine: A new report discusses the importance of planning for airflow and heat considerations when designing a kiosk enclosure. Electronic equipment is typically designed so that when it's located in a relatively open space indoors at room temperature, heat dissipation through the air is sufficient to keep the equipment from overheating.

However, when you place a piece of electronic equipment in an enclosure, you're creating a local ecosystem for that equipment. The heat produced by the equipment must somehow be removed from this local environment to prevent failure.
