Enclosure Chillers
Enclosure chillers work by having a coolant that circulates through a closed-loop cooling system and that actually absorbs the heat from the electrical enclosure. This then gets dumped outside the enclosure. The method used really ensures that nothing gets introduced into the enclosure from the outside.
The most commonly used industrial cooling machines are air-cooled enclosure chillers. They work by using the surrounding air and are the easiest of the types to install and maintain. These are the practical choice for the bulk of industrial applications, including industrial automation and food processing. Enclosure chillers, whether air- or water-cooled, have temperature controllers. These allow the operator to set the internal temperature to very near the ideal temperature for the equipment working inside and to maintain that temperature.

FAQs
How are heat pipes used in electrical enclosures to increase enclosure cooling capacities?
Heat pipes are used in electrical enclosures to increase cooling capacities by transferring heat away from hot components to cooler areas within the enclosure or to external heat sinks, thereby enhancing thermal management and maintaining optimal operating temperatures.
Are heat exchangers, vortex coolers and thermoelectric coolers similar to enclosure chillers when it comes to temperature control in harsh environments?
Heat exchangers, vortex coolers, and thermoelectric coolers provide effective temperature control in harsh environments like enclosure chillers, but they differ in cooling methods and efficiency, with each offering unique advantages for specific applications and thermal management needs.
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.
