Thermal management has many more applications than just electrical, and in some industries, those applications directly impact a company’s output and performance. For example, in the molding industry, thermal management doesn’t just mean keeping equipment cool, but also harnessing heat and rapidly removing it from molds during the production process. Much like more conventional electrical thermal management, the molding process itself can also be made much more efficient with the help of modern heat exchanger technology. Known as thermal pins, specialized heat exchangers allow companies to more effectively, efficiently, and evenly remove heat from their molds to significantly improve the rate and quality of their output.

How Heat Exchangers Meet Below-Ambient Cooling Needs
When heat exchangers first became popular, their ability to provide effective, efficient, and highly reliable thermal management was directly tied to their ambient cooling abilities. Instead of chilling an electrical enclosure, they prevented overheating by transferring the waste heat before it had a chance to accumulate. For most common applications, this proved more than viable. However, as technology continues advancing and companies continue expanding their reach and operating in new territories, the need for below-ambient cooling has become increasingly more pressing. Fortunately, below-ambient heat exchangers can meet that need with equal efficiency and reliability. (more…)
When Ambient Cooling Is All You Need
Not long ago, the idea of cooling electrical enclosures and other equipment to just above the ambient temperatures around them didn’t seem plausible. However, ever since heat exchangers became an increasingly more popular solution, the need for equipment such as air conditioners and other chilling methods have become less of a necessity. That’s because heat exchangers accomplish what didn’t seem possible before – the ability to keep electrical enclosures, control cabinets, and more properly cooled without having to chill the air within them.

The Challenge of Thermal Management in Automated Tech
Over the last decade, automated technology has increasingly revolutionized the way companies in most industries operate. Everything from customer service, sales, and marketing to manufacturing, packaging, and shipping have all seen profound transformations thanks to the abilities that automated technologies have given companies. However, the transformation wasn’t easy, and the innovators of automation had to overcome several significant challenges before the technology could become so prominent. One of the greatest of those challenges was finding an efficient, eco-friendly, and nearly automated thermal management solution for handling the technology’s electrical waste heat – a challenge that is easily met with the help of modern heat exchangers.

Efficiency and Productivity: Benefiting from Heat Exchangers
Ever since becoming staples of electrical thermal management, heat exchangers have continued to provide myriad benefits to companies in a wide variety of industries. That’s because they not only prevent electrical overheating better than traditional alternatives, but do so in a much more efficient and productive manner. For example, companies can enjoy consistent, reliable thermal management processes without having to invest in large amounts of energy to keep heat exchangers running. These and other impressive characteristics have made heat exchangers a vital component in many companies’ successful operations. (more…)
Consumers’ View of Better Thermal Management
The advantages that often come with heat exchangers and their innovative thermal management capabilities are often explored in the context of how they help companies streamline their overall operations. With the ability to consistently transfer high levels of electrical waste heat, all while minimizing a company’s energy usage and operational costs, heat exchangers have helped most industries completely reinvent how they approach thermal management. For companies that directly provide consumers with products and services, those benefits also extend to their customers in several different ways. (more…)
A Few Common Industrial Thermal Management Concerns
Every industry comes with its own unique challenges for companies, but electrical thermal management is something all companies need to address.

Making Thermal Management Easier in Hazardous Locations
There are some electrical thermal management considerations that are common across virtually all applications. Then, there are those applications that are designed for extreme high-performance tasks, or that operate under severe conditions, and therefore, require higher-than-normal performance and safety from their thermal management solutions. For such applications, conventional heat exchangers may not always be viable solutions. However, iterations of the technology are now available that are made specifically to endure harsh conditions in hazardous locations, and are able to provide optimal efficiency and safety despite those conditions.
