Enclosure Chillers
Enclosure chillers are put to work in places like data centers, food processing, and industrial automation. These applications require temperature control for the proper working condition of the equipment inside NEMA rated electrical enclosures. That makes the enclosure chiller ideal. It is really a temperature control device that far surpasses the air conditioner in abilities. Chiller units are used for particularly high heat loads in harsh environments where enclosure cooling is of utmost importance.
Available in both air-cooled and water-cooled configurations, these chillers serve specific application needs. Using the ambient air, air-cooled chillers dissipate heat to the surroundings. Water-cooled chillers, using water as the cooling medium, are more efficient in high-temperature environments. Both types provide reliable cooled air without introducing outside air into the enclosure, ensuring a clean and controlled environment for sensitive electronics.

More Information about Enclosure Chillers
Enclosure chillers not only cool but also provide the kind of controls (usually digital) that allow for more or less exact temperature regulation. These controls enable the user to set a desired temperature range for the electrical enclosure. This desired set point can be in the neighborhood of room temperature or far below it; either way, the chiller is achieving something that approximately amounts to energy efficiency, given the strict demands of the equipment.
FAQs
How are heat pipes involved in enclosure chillers' cooling capacities?
Heat pipes in enclosure chillers enhance cooling capacities by efficiently transferring heat away from hot components, using phase-change technology to rapidly dissipate heat, thereby maintaining optimal temperatures within the enclosure.
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.
