There isn’t much in this world that you can buy these days that you can reliably expect the same continued performance for years on end without any intervention. As they say, “They don’t make ‘em like they used to anymore”. That is, except for EXAIR’s Cabinet Coolers.

We’re oftentimes contacted by customers that have been using an EXAIR Cabinet Cooler for years (sometimes the cooler even pre-dates the tenure of the customer we’re dealing with!) and are wondering if they need any spare parts or maintenance. If they’ve properly treated their compressed air at the point-of-use and supplied the Cabinet Cooler with particulate-free, oil-free compressed air, the answer is NO!

Such was a recent case for a client in the Middle East that was looking to expand their production and needed some more coolers for the new panels controlling their equipment. He’d been working in the facility for about 7 years and wanted a “rebuild kit” for the Cabinet Cooler they currently had, as well as a quotation for some new systems. The cooler was still operating well, but it was clear it had been installed in a rather dirty environment. Despite being caked with contaminants from the environment, the cooler was operating just fine. The image below shows our Model HT4640SS-316 Cabinet Cooler that had been working well before his time working as their maintenance manager.

When supplied with clean and dry compressed air, the Cabinet Coolers operate completely maintenance-free. With no moving parts to wear out and no refrigerants contained inside the coolers themselves, they’ll continue to operate for many years without the need for any maintenance. The same cannot be said about refrigerant-based A/C systems that are often used as an alternative.

The Cabinet Cooler was designed specifically for operating in the harshest of conditions where A/C systems will be problematic. Thermostatically controlled systems are available to ensure that you’ll maintain the desired internal temperature of the panel without using any unnecessary compressed air. High Temperature Cabinet Coolers are also available for applications where ambient conditions could be higher than 125 °F. Refrigerant-based panel coolers must be de-rated by 65% at 90 °F and by 95% at 115 °F, meaning they’ll need to either be oversized or operate longer to match the performance from a similarly sized Cabinet Cooler System.

Do yourself a favor and check out EXAIR’s NEW Cabinet Cooler Calculator to see what system we’d recommend for your given conditions. It’s ready to ship out to you today. Give us a call to get one on order before you experience heat-related shutdowns, NOT after!
