Cabinet coolers for tight spaces

The cabinet cooler is said to be a compact and low cost way to purge and cool electrical control panelsEXAIR has released new side mount kits to attach its cabinet cooler to electrical enclosures with limited space on the top or side.

The side mount kits for the company’s NEMA 12 cabinet cooler are suited for large and small electrical enclosures. The manufacturer claims the cooler and mount kit can be used to cool PLCs, microprocessors, variable frequency drives, industrial computers and robotics.

The cabinet cooler is said to be a compact and low cost way to purge and cool electrical control panels. By maintaining a constant low temperature, electronics can be protected from heat, dirt and moisture.

The coolers convert a supply of compressed air to a temperature of negative seven degrees Celsius without using refrigerants. The cold air is then circulated through the enclosure to eliminate high temperatures. The systems include a compressed air filter to filter out moisture or dust.

An optional thermostat can be used to minimise compressed air use, and the units have no moving parts.
