In most industries today, technology has given companies such an edge that competition can be fierce. As a result, companies seek to gain an even greater edge in any area possible, and for many of them, that includes streamlining the electrical thermal management processes that keep their equipment cool. Today, heat exchangers in many different forms have helped companies in every industry become significantly more competitive by helping them boost their efficiency and productivity in several different ways.

Ever since companies began using them for their electrical thermal management needs, heat exchangers have been well-known for the many different benefits they provide. Those include the improved efficiency that comes with transferring electrical waste heat instead of trying to overcome it with chilled or compressed air. However, in addition to the boost in productivity, efficiency, and cost-savings associated with modern heat transfer techniques, heat exchangers and other custom thermal solutions also help companies improve the safety of many different processes. For companies that operate in particularly hazardous locations, this level of safety has been as important as the many other benefits that come with custom thermal management. (more…)

When one or more companies begin to take advantage of some new tech, it may take a while before it becomes advantageous enough to transform the entire industry – if it ever does. With heat exchangers, however, the advantages that companies experience have led to a significantly, relatively fast boom in popularity. What some companies first used as an alternative to air conditioners and air compressors for cooling electrical enclosures quickly became the new standard of electrical thermal management in virtually every industry. Today, we examine the impact that heat exchangers have had on just a few of today’s important industries. (more…)

Historically, the process of cooling a company’s electrical control panels used to be quite cumbersome. Out of necessity, electrical enclosures such as control panels had to be adjoined with industrial-strength air conditioning or air compressing equipment to keep a steady flow of chilled air circulating through them. Using such solutions wasn’t necessarily difficult, but keeping them running continuously to keep up with high-performance, everyday production proved a costly and time-consuming hassle. Today, however, most modern companies rely on heat exchangers to cool their control panels and other electrical enclosures more efficiently, and with a higher level of reliability. (more…)

When it comes to advanced technology, the rule is usually that the more powerful an application is, the more complex its design must be. Fitting high-powered technology into smaller, sleeker, and more manageable systems takes innovation, and that often means designing applications that can accomplish more than their predecessors. However, in the realm of thermal management, achieving more has meant simplifying the processes by which systems control electrical waste heat. Rather than utilizing more complex equipment, heat exchangers use methods such as natural/forced convection to achieve the high-performance thermal management that advanced technology requires.

Effective thermal management is important to companies for many reasons. Most commonly, it’s the means by which they keep their technology and electrical enclosures properly cooled. In some industries, thermal management is also an important aspect of the production process, such as in food and beverage processing or injection/extrusion molding. No matter their needs, increasingly more companies are turning to advanced heat exchangers to meet thermal management challenges in a more efficient and streamlined way. This has led to several important benefits for those companies, all of which stem from the improved methods of handling electrical waste heat. (more…)

The evolution of technology has faced many different challenges over the last several decades, and most of them were equally difficult to overcome. For example, electrical thermal management, or the ability to prevent electrical systems from overheating, has traditionally been one of the biggest hurdles to jump, and for many different complex reasons. The importance of thermal management is one – without some way to prevent overheating, no technology would function properly. Another concern, however, was finding thermal management solutions that were not only effective, but could also keep up with the increasingly higher demands of advancing technologies. (more…)
