We all have some bad experiences in hot summer. The temperature of sensor rising up and camera shield is too hot to touch, afraid of the camera can’t working normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have been aware of the heating problem before, so we added PCS (Passive Cooling System) to the camera. However, it is not enough. In 2022, summer ambient temperature even over 40℃（104℉),  camera sensor might get close to 60℃ in long time use under sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough our users said Player One camera is still working well in hot day, but we think it’s still has damage risk. So we decided to make this ACS unit, to provide much better temp control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake a look of following test graph:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6245\/2965\/files\/ACSPerf.webp?v=1679071634\u0026amp;width=700\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section=\"6\"\u003eClearly, that when camera has PCS + ACS, temperature is only 7℃ higher than ambient, camera body is a little warm but won’t hot!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section=\"6\"\u003eACS is not only can be used in daylight for solar imaging, it also could be used in night for DSO lucky imaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section=\"6\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes my camera support ACS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eACS is only useful on some uncooled cameras, not all of them.
