The main problem can be due to the accumulation of dust in the internal components,              
so it acts as thermal insulator. The heat generated by the components cannot be well              
dissipatedbecauseitistrappedinthedustlayer.
The oil and grease particles contained in the environmental air mix with the dust,             
creating thus a big insulation layer that reflexes the heat to other components. This             
effect causes a reduction of the system useful life. On the other hand, the dust              
