Enclosure Chillers

More Information about Enclosure Chillers

Enclosure chillers are designed with features like adjustable thermostats and low-pressure relief valves to provide precise temperature control and safety. These units are available in various cooling capacities, catering to the diverse needs of different sizes and types of electrical enclosures. Additionally, they are built to withstand harsh conditions, often being dust-tight, splash-resistant, and suitable for use in hazardous locations.

Their design focuses not just on efficient cooling but also on ease of installation and maintenance. Options like side mount kits and standard electrical knockouts facilitate their integration into existing systems. Enclosure chillers, therefore, offer an ideal solution for managing the temperature and ensuring the optimal operation of electrical systems in challenging environments.

FAQs

What are enclosure cooling units?

Enclosure cooling units are enclosure cooling systems that are installed inside or outside of electrical enclosures and use a refrigeration system or other cooling methods to transfer heat away from the enclosure and dissipate it into the environment.

What is the difference between electrical enclosure air conditioners and enclosure chillers?

Electrical enclosure air conditioners function similarly to standard air conditioners, using a refrigerant to cool the air inside the enclosure and maintain a controlled temperature, ideal for sensitive electronic equipment. Enclosure chillers, on the other hand, often utilize a closed-loop cooling system, sometimes based on the vortex tube principle, which uses compressed air to generate cool air, effectively managing high heat loads in industrial settings.

What is a cold air distribution kit?

A cold air distribution kit is an accessory used in conjunction with cooling systems like enclosure air conditioners or cabinet coolers. Its primary function is to effectively distribute the cold air produced by the cooling unit throughout the enclosure. This kit typically includes tubing, vents, and ducting materials that can be configured to direct the flow of cool air to specific areas 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.
