Is Convection Really Enough to Cool Control Panels?
The most energy efficient way to prevent something from overheating is to allow heat to dissipate away from it. If it were possible to leave electronic components out in the open, then innovative thermal management solutions wouldn’t be as vital to modern technology. However, air-to-air heat exchangers often come as close as possible by utilizing natural and forced convection to prevent heat pockets from forming within electrical enclosures. For many applications, this is more than enough to keep technological equipment running continuously with minimal risks of heating issues, and with a minimal need for additional energy consumption.

2 Reasons Automated Tech Relies on Heat Exchangers
While automated technology has largely taken over a significant portion of many industries, its wide spread adoption was the culmination of several different technological developments. One of those is the ability to streamline electrical thermal management to provide constant, reliable cooling for technology that’s meant to run on its own. Besides creating technology that’s smart and powerful enough to make automation possible, such technology also requires equally smart and powerful solutions for dealing with electrical overheating. Because of their unique methods of transferring heat, heat exchangers have often been the most-relied upon thermal management solution for increasingly more advanced automated technology. (more…)
