Enclosure Air Conditioners
Industrial air conditioners are set up to manage the internal temperatures of electrical and electronic enclosures. They work to get rid of excess heat and to keep components from overheating. Enclosure air conditioning is commonly used in industrial environments, where high ambient air temperatures or massive amounts of heat given off by electrical and electronic equipment can negatively impact performance. An enclosure air conditioner uses an internal closed loop system that makes sure no external contaminants such as dust, oil, or moisture can get into the enclosure. So if you have an industrial control cabinet, a pushbutton station, or electrical enclosures in a hazardous location, you might want to consider one of these.
Enclosure cooling units are vital in an industrial context. Some models really step up the cooling game by adding extra-cool components—like heat exchangers or "vortex" coolers—to provide even more cooling power in tough situations. Others use condenser coils to shed heat and handle the humidity. Maintaining a reliable, cool environment in computational equipment can prevent unnecessary shutdowns and keep things up and running in the electrical and electronic enclosure industry.

Common modifications or accessories that are used to enhance electrical cabinets.
Lighting kits. Lighting kits are often used in outdoor applications. There are many different styles of lighting kits that can be used, but LEDs have become the preferred lighting solution in the past several years.
Pressure switches. Pressure switches operate on a spring and react to the cabinet door opening and closing. They can be used for lights, intrusions alarms and exhaust fans.
Passive air vents. Passive air vents allow natural air circulation to flow through a cabinet providing proper ventilation.
Enclosure fans. Enclosure air fans are used when more ventilation is required. The size of the fan will depend on the size of the enclosure as well as the amount of air that needs to be circulated.
Air conditioners. Air conditioners are used when ambient air circulation is inadequate to cool the cabinet. The air conditioner size will depend on the enclosure size, ambient air temperature and heat generated within the cabinet.
Heaters. Heaters are used when a cabinet is located in areas that may be exposed to cold temperatures.
Locking mechanisms. Locking mechanisms are used to secure cabinets.
Conduit hole seals. Conduit hole seals are used on cabinets that have holes that need to be plugged after conduit has been removed.
