Modern heat exchangers come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and types, each with its own unique advantages. For instance, heat pipes, which are among the most popular solutions, can be designed to optimize thermal management for virtually any system. While all heat spreaders are extremely effective at managing electrical waste heat, heat pipes offer significantly higher thermal conductivity than those that consist of solid conductors. Heat pipes are also more versatile in their design, making them able to fit into unique spaces to offer optimal results. (more…)
Heat Exchangers for Processing and Packaging Pharmaceuticals
In addition to keeping manufacturing and other equipment properly cooled, thermal management is essential for a number of other applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Creating certain drugs and products must often be processed and/or stored at various, highly precise temperatures. The machinery used to process and package those substances also relies on thermal management solutions to prevent electrical circuits from overheating. The custom-design, minimal need for maintenance, and significant reduction in energy consumption make heat exchangers essential for a wide variety of processes, making them ideal for ensuring that operations run smoothly.

Efficient Thermal Management in Hazardous Locations
Industries that rely on manufacturing have benefited for decades by choosing heat exchanger technology to effectively manage waste heat from electrical enclosures. However, Noren’s innovative technology has helped organizations in far more industries enjoy the same benefits, and that technology was the first to be certified for use in hazardous locations. With this certification, more companies are able to take advantage of more efficient and less costly thermal management solutions, even in areas where heat exchangers weren’t always viable. (more…)
Efficient Cabinet Cooling for NEMA Enclosures
The level of environmental contamination that electrical enclosures are exposed to can significantly affect their safety and efficiency. To help regulate electrical enclosures and their cooling units, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has created sets of standards for enclosures of all types and sizes. For NEMA-certified electrical cabinets, heat exchanger units not only perform well, but also keep dust, moisture, and other harmful contaminants out of the electrical cabinet according to the system’s safety specifications.

Why Food Processing Relies on Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are used in a wide variety of manufacturing applications, from cooling electrical panels that power automated equipment to providing precise temperature control for food and beverage production, and more. Because heat exchangers can be customized in every detail—including size, shape, and cooling method—they can provide highly efficient solutions that offer significant energy and cost-saving benefits. In fact, food and beverage manufacturers increasingly rely on heat exchangers to keep overhead costs manageable while helping to reduce energy consumption and lower their environmental impacts. (more…)
How Do Heat Exchangers Help the Medical Industry?
The medical field is one of the most technologically advanced industries, and that technology’s performance is particularly important given their roles in caring for patients. Heat exchangers are an important part of maintaining technology’s performance, from small diagnostic devices to the servers that control a hospital’s systems. Efficiently controlling the waste heat that these systems emit is essential to ensuring that medical devices operate as well as intended, without overheating or requiring excessive maintenance and cleaning. (more…)
What’s the Best Choice for Electrical Panel Cooling?
For industries that rely on high-performing computers and automated technology for their operations, efficient thermal management solutions are a necessity. The good news is that there are a multitude of cabinet cooling options available these days; however, not all thermal management solutions are equal. If a cabinet cooling system doesn’t meet the specific requirements of the electrical system, then overheating is more likely to occur, as well as significant maintenance costs and lost revenue due to downtime. Choosing the best electrical panel cooling units not only helps eliminate such exorbitant costs, but also helps improve operations by promoting higher efficiency and lower carbon output. (more…)
Electrical Cooling for a Greener Tomorrow
Despite the uncertainty caused by the United States withdrawing from the Paris climate change accord, business leaders throughout the country and the world continue to push for ways to clean up the global economy. At Noren, that goal has been a driving concept behind our thermal management products and components for over 40 years. As the world grows increasingly more reliant on green technology and energy production, eco-friendly cooling solutions are becoming equally more important. (more…)
Custom Solutions Help You Avoid Thermal Management Problems
Too often, projects that have taken years to plan are hindered by equipment that doesn’t perform as well as intended. Maintenance and malfunction issues can occur for countless reasons, but when those complications arise from overheating electrical equipment, they typically could have been avoided if proper thermal management had been a part of the design process. At Noren Thermal, comprehensive design and analysis is a cornerstone of the high-performance thermal management solutions we create. Every product and its components are designed to minimize energy costs while maximizing performance, and each solution can be customized to meet the requirements of a given application. (more…)
