enclosing the Joule?

could the Joule be placed inside a closed container (i.e. styrofoam cooler,) with simply an opening for the cord? I know it is NOT submersible but can it safely take the moisture content of a warm enclosed space?

Thanks

It would need to be waterproof, which would raise the cost of the unit significantly. You can however contact the good people at Liquipel to see if you can send your Joule to them for processing.

I thought the Joule has a waterproof body

The lower half is sealed. The top half doesn't need to be.

So Joule is sealed against accidental water intrusion, but it is not intended to be submersible. The primary reason for this decision was mostly to do with keeping the wifi and Bluetooth radios cool enough.

One of the biggest challenges to making Joule water tight was getting rid of the waste heat from the electronics. Because the unit is sealed, we can't move cooler air in and out of the device, which is how every other circulator works. In our case, for the power modulating triac, the DC power supply, the motor, and other high-temperature components, we conduct their waste heat directly into the water (that's why Joule is so energy efficient). But the radios are delicate components that cannot survive temperatures above 75 °C. It turns out we are able to keep them cool enough by allowing their waste heat to dissipate via radiant energy into the surrounding environment. Doing this requires that the very top of the unit (the zone above the power cord) be above the top of the cooking vessel so that the heat can radiate away into the surrounding room.
