The pool is open, the garden is tilled, it must mean summer is coming. This year, I’m gearing up for a hot one. My love for spicy food is already well documented here on the EXAIR Blog, and this year it’s going to be the hottest one yet! In the garden for this year we have Purple Ghost Peppers, “regular” Bhut Jolokia (Ghost peppers), White Moruga Scorpion, Purple Ghost Scorpion, Bhutlah Scorpion, and a selection of “milder” peppers and other veggies for when I’d rather not melt my face off while eating. Needless to say, you should proceed with caution when eating salsa at my house. It’s going to be heating up in my kitchen at the same time your electrical cabinets also begin to overheat. Not to worry, EXAIR has the tools you need to keep things cool.
EXAIR’s Cabinet Cooler Systems were designed specifically to rectify these issues within your facility. Utilizing Vortex Tube technology, the 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 also introduced a new line of Hazardous Location Cabinet Coolers for use in classified areas.
Many of our customers experience seasonal overheating problems with their cabinets. Cabinet Cooler systems are a perfect solution for electrical panels which start to fault out in may or June and continue to cause chaos through September or October. They are quick to install, maintenance free and can be purchased with a thermostat control so they turn off in October and back on in May. You’ll hardly even remember its there and you won’t miss the electrical problems normally associated with a hot summer.
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, or just want to talk about spicy food and gardening, contact an Application Engineer today and we’ll be happy to help. Don’t wait until it’s too late, EXAIR’s Cabinet Cooler is the simple solution for maintaining the temperature inside of your electronic enclosures.
