For manufacturing and many other industries, heat exchangers are a well-known and often relied-upon solution for cooling electrical control panels and other large equipment. No matter the size of the application, more efficient and eco-friendly heat exchangers save companies significant amounts of time, money, and effort on essential thermal management. When heat exchanger concepts are miniaturized and applied to high-performance computing technology, they offer the same level of reliability and sustainability as they do for larger electrical enclosures. With the ability to rapidly transfer high amounts of waste heat continuously and without constant maintenance, heat exchangers continue to help high-performance computing technology become even more powerful.

The Relationship Between Automation and Heat Exchangers
With the ability to transfer electrical waste heat rather than overwhelming it with cold air, heat exchangers changed the way many companies think of thermal management by making it a much more affordable endeavor. Reduced energy usage and fewer maintenance concerns meant companies saved large amounts of money that could be reinvested elsewhere, propelling their growth and success. Yet, in addition to lower operating costs, heat exchangers also changed several industries by making it possible to evolve further and implement automated technology. The concepts of eco-friendly and highly reliable thermal management solutions that were made popular by heat exchangers also paved the way for technology that also operates with minimal waste or human input.

Can Heat Exchangers Improve an Existing Application?
Thermal management is a vital component to any electrical equipment or technology. As such, most application’s function optimally when an appropriate thermal management solution is considered during the design process. Yet, existing machinery, control panels, and other forms of technology can also benefit greatly from cleaner, more efficient, and more reliable ways of managing electrical waste heat, especially those that have previously relied on solutions such as air conditioning. To help companies save on thermal management costs without having to unnecessarily replace equipment, heat exchangers can often be fitted to existing applications in a variety of industries. (more…)
How Heat Exchangers Transfer Heat
The secret behind how heat exchangers revolutionized electrical thermal management lies in their efficient, eco-friendly methods of transferring waste heat. For instance, instead of actively chilling the air inside of an electrical enclosure, a heat exchanger’s fluid can absorb the heat and transfer it safely away from components that could be damaged by it. Depending on the specific application, heat exchanger technology can be applied in several ways, such as heat spreading, conduction, natural/forced convection, or a combination of these and other techniques.

The Modern Science of Thermal Management Design
The science of electrical thermal management grows more complex every time new technology is developed or old technology is improved upon. Typically, new technologies are more powerful than their predecessors, and therefore, need higher performing heat transfer methods. However, new applications are also generally smaller than those before them, which means their thermal management solutions also have to fit into tighter spaces. To effectively and efficiently meet the changing demands of innovative technology, heat exchangers are often the ideal thermal management solution. Designing more powerful thermal management solutions is easier and less time-consuming when the designs are based on proven, highly customizable technology, such as heat exchangers. (more…)
Why Companies Rely on Heat Exchangers
The heat exchanger market has become a worldwide industry as more and more companies rely on them for a variety of thermal management needs. In addition to cooling electrical control cabinets, which made heat exchangers famous, the technology is now used for broad range of applications throughout virtually every industry. The reason companies continue to rely on heat exchangers is because they continue to help reduce overall costs and improve productivity as they advanced along with more powerful technology. That means even as manufacturing equipment and other technologies grow more powerful, heat exchangers continue to be able to effectively and efficiently meet their high-performance thermal management demands.
