When it comes to increasing productivity, it makes sense to focus on technology and processes that are the biggest drag on efficiency. For companies that still rely on air conditioning for electrical cabinet cooling, that drag is most notably felt in the costs of energy, maintenance, and repairs that often come with it. Air conditioning equipment draws on large amounts of energy to continuously chill the air inside of electrical enclosures. The complicated machinery also requires frequent maintenance to keep it running for its relatively short shelf life, and downtime for repairs and replacement are a necessary burden. (more…)
Benefiting from Heat Exchangers in Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater is a necessary byproduct of several different industrial processes, and what happens to the water after it is treated differs depending on each application. In all cases, however, every piece of equipment used affects the quality of the treated water. Whether that water is released back into the environment or sent through a closed loop to be used for other purposes, these affects can be felt far beyond the treatment process itself. To make that process more efficient and reliable, Noren provides a variety of heat exchangers that can help improve wastewater treatment in several ways. (more…)
Protecting Outdoor Electrical Enclosures During the Winter
The good news about cold weather is that it can make electrical cabinet cooling easier, especially for ambient heat exchangers. However, the cold weather, strong winds, and extra moisture can also lead to increased concerns about the integrity of electrical enclosures that operate outdoors. For instance, overheating may be slightly less of a concern, but if an enclosure and its cooling system aren’t properly sealed against the elements, then things like contamination and condensation can become a significantly greater threat. At Noren Thermal, we offer a wide range of thermal management solutions that are certified to operate in environments that pose unique threats, including conditions that are most common during the winter months.
