Hmm it looks like most people get a bit hung up on this desiccant and Argon purging.
I haven't had any desiccant strips in my QHY9 for some years and i open it in my living room and close it in my living room (no bag).
Since i removed the desiccant strip some years ago, i have had no problems anymore with dew or water in the camera.
I had problems with the desiccant strip and corroded legs on the sensor because of this.
The strip becomes saturated and releases water that has to go somewhere.
It starts acting as one of those water traps you use to keep closets dry.
I run the camera without the front glass and no desiccant and have no dew or moisture inside the camera for years.
Your mileage may vary doing it this way but it works for me.
