Air Channeling and Cooling
 |
Challenge:
Some combinations and configurations of electrical equipment within an enclosure can create challenges for effectively dissipating heat. - Electrical equipment may not always generate uniform heat loads throughout an
enclosure. Some areas within an enclosure may be significantly hotter than others and
general cooling air circulation solutions may not be effective. - Some electrical components contain their own cooling fans and can force cooling air
through critical areas while other electrical components rely on general cooling air
circulation to dissipate heat. - Some electrical components are more compact than others leaving dead airspace
within an enclosure. This may cause general cooling air to by-pass critical areas to be
cooled.

Solution:
Our Engineering & Technical Design Team can develop alternatives to create the effective heat dissipation solutions for your equipment needs. These solutions include:
- Use of double-walled enclosures & double-walled doors where cooling air and exhaust air is routed via side wall/door air plenums, porting cool air in where needed most and exhausting hot air out of the enclosure directly without dumping it into another heat source or allowing it to recirculate.
- Use of internal baffling to route cool air in where needed most and to exhaust hot air directly to exhaust vents.
- Use of internal or external mounted cooling fans and blower drawers.
- Use of externally mounted cooling fins and heat sinks.
- Use of optimally sized filter media and louvers on exhaust ports.
- Incorporating water cooling systems (chill water) to augment general cooling air.
