Maintenance-free enclosure and cabinet cooling solutions

17 November 2004 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services Opto-Electronics

Elen Enclosures offers a complete range of products for cooling and ventilation of enclosures and cabinets. In selecting the cooling accessories, emphasis has been placed on maintenance-free or very low maintenance products. The company offers the following maintenance-free products:

Thermoelectric (Peltier) enclosure/cabinet cooling units suitable for outdoor use from Fandis and Teca with cooling capacities ranging from 50 W to 570 W. The units can be installed in any position, are very compact and withstand vibration. Their dimensions allow installation on relatively small wall mounting enclosures. Teca coolers are also available in stainless steel and explosion-proof versions. The Peltier program is supplemented with the 'economy' versions for indoor use from TEE Energy.

Arizona Vortex Tube coolers are compact (210 mm long by 40 mm diameter), have no moving parts, are made of stainless steel and are operated by clean, dry compressed air. Cooling capacities vary from 125 W to 795 W.

A comprehensive range of air-to-air, air-to-water cabinet heat exchangers and compressor/refrigerant type cabinet airconditioners from Pucel-Nano is available. All units are provided with heat exchanger cartridges treated with special self-cleaning coating that repels dust and liquids. There are no filters to exchange or clean and the coating provides superior protection against corrosion. Side- and roof-mounted units with cooling capacities ranging from 250 W to 3000 W are available.

Other cooling and ventilation accessories include a range of Fandis filter fans and cabinet roof ventilators as well as ventilation louvres, enclosure breathers, thermostats, hygrostats and enclosure heaters.
