As electrical, automation and control systems components become more compact and complex and the internal heat loads increase, it becomes more difficult to maintain electronics below max operating temperatures. Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), starters and drives are some of the major generators of heat in an enclosure. Finding the right balance between performance, size, reliability and ruggedness is critical to specify the most economical cabinet cooler that meets your requirements. This in-depth discussion on sealed enclosure cooling technology options will cover heat exchangers (above-ambient) and air conditioning (sub-ambient) cooling technologies, covering key technical aspects such as:
- Calculating your “design to” heat load, taking into account components’ waste heat, solar loading and convection effects
- Selecting the best enclosure cooler for your application
- Understanding options for seal and environmental ratings
- What makes a sealed enclosure cooler different then a fan/filter system?
- Installation and operational considerations
- How to know when you need a custom design
