Enclosure Air Conditioners

FAQs

What is meant by ambient temperature?

Ambient temperature refers to the temperature of the air or environment surrounding an object or system. In many applications, it is important to measure and control the ambient temperature to ensure proper operation and prevent damage to sensitive components.

What is the cooling capacity of enclosure cooling units?

The cooling capacity of enclosure cooling units can vary widely depending on the specific model and application. The cooling capacity of an enclosure cooling unit is typically measured in BTUs per hour or Watts. It represents the amount of heat that the unit can remove from the enclosure per hour.

What type of enclosure cooling systems use compressed air?

Compressed air is sometimes used as a cooling medium in enclosure cooling systems, specifically in air-to-air heat exchangers. An air-to-air heat exchanger is a type of cooling system that uses two separate air streams, one inside the enclosure and one outside, to transfer heat from the inside of the enclosure to the outside, reducing high ambient temperatures.

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.
