Last week the Cincinnati Reds held one of their “Bark in the Park” evenings where fans are encouraged to bring their four-legged friends along for a day at the ballpark. There were plenty of good boys and girls seated along the 1st-baseline, excited for the evening’s game. My wife and I have what is often referred to as a kennel back at home (3 dogs of our own and one rotating foster pup) and thought it was about time we took them down to a game.
Coinciding with this particular game was also the arrival of the “Red”-hot Elly De La Cruz making just his second start in the Majors. To anyone paying attention to baseball this summer, I’m sure you’ve seen highlights of the blazing fast, hard-hitting, hard-throwing, phenom from the Dominican Republic that the Reds finally called up from AAA. In his first at bat, he about knocked the ball clear out of the park (only to be held up by one fan and a silly chain-link fence). All-in-all it was a beautiful (hopefully one day historic) late-spring, early-summer evening. What better way to spend it than alongside a couple of our doggos.
When it’s baseball season, it’s getting warm here in the Northern Hemisphere. As temperatures increase, maintenance managers across the world shudder as they know their electrical panels aren’t ready for it. Fortunately, EXAIR has a line of Cabinet Coolers available to ship same-day from stock that’ll keep your cabinets cool and purged with clean, dry air.
Utilizing Vortex Tube technology, the EXAIR’s Cabinet Cooler produces cold air from an ordinary supply of compressed air. This cold air keeps the enclosure free of debris and moisture and is easily installed in minutes through a standard electrical knockout. Here is a short video that shows just how simple it really is. The Cabinet Cooler Systems are available with Nema 12 (IP54) ratings and are also available in Aluminum, 303 Stainless Steel, and 316 Stainless Steel construction for Nema 4/4X (IP66) rated enclosures. For systems that are not able to be mounted on top of the cabinet, we also have Side Mount Kits available in Aluminum, 303 Stainless, and 316 Stainless. This year, EXAIR has expanded from our line of Hazardous Location Cabinet Coolers and has also added ATEX Cabinet Coolers to our offering for customers that require ATEX compliance.
These systems are available with cooling capacities of anywhere from 275-5,600 Btu/hr. To make things much easier for you, we offer a Cabinet Cooler Sizing Guide that will allow us to recommend the most suitable model for your cabinet. With a few quick measurements, we’ll be able to determine the exact heat load that we’ll need to dissipate and offer you a quick and easy solution. If you experienced heat related issues on electrical panels last year, contact an Application Engineer today, and we’ll see to it that this summer your cabinets remain cool!
