Though the concept of ambient cooling may be one of the simplest thermal management concepts on the surface, modern heat exchanger technology has made it one of the most beneficial. In many applications, the maximum operating temperature is well below the ambient temperature outside of their electrical enclosures. This makes the use of more technically… Read more »

Ambient cooling is one of the simplest methods of electrical cooling, though it hasn’t always been a viable solution for industrial-sized applications. The process involves keeping the temperature within an electrical enclosure at just above the ambient temperature outside of it. In its simplest form, this can mean using a low-energy filter fan to blow… Read more »

There is no way to get around the fact that electrical applications require adequate cooling solutions to prevent overheating. However, while the process of electrical cooling used to be a notoriously cumbersome one (especially when implemented at scale for industrial applications), there are several solutions today that make it much less so. For example, with… Read more »

One of the greatest advantages of modern thermal management systems is their ability to adapt to increasingly higher application demands while maintaining optimal efficiency. The new Eco-Flow heat dissipator is the epitome of that goal. Its dual filter fan design gives it the ability to match the standards and performance specifications of a wide range… Read more »

The value in modern electrical thermal management systems can be measured in many different ways, depending on the application for which it’s used. For instance, the rate at which it can eliminate or transfer waste heat is important in helping applications operate at optimal capacity. The level of protection the system offers is important to… Read more »

Electrical thermal management is a conundrum. If it could occur in a wide open environment, wear waste heat can simply flow away from sensitive components, then there would be little or no need for electrical thermal management solutions. However, an open environment would also leave those same components vulnerable to harmful contaminants, like dust and… Read more »

The more powerful modern technology becomes, the more powerful and efficient its electrical thermal management must be. At first, that can seem like a need for more complex, complicated ways to generate chilled air faster than electrical components can generate waste heat. However, when it comes to efficient thermal management, more complex doesn’t always mean… Read more »

Of the many different options that companies now have for their industrial thermal management needs, ambient cooling (a natural method of preventing electrical overheating) remains one of the more popular methods. Compared to methods such as chilling air with the help of air conditioners or air compressors, the process of ambient cooling is much simpler… Read more »

It’s a fact of life that electrical components generate heat as they operate. It’s also a fact that, if not managed properly, that waste heat can quickly accumulate within an electrical enclosure and lead to extensive, devastating damage. The point of electrical thermal management is to prevent this from happening, and there are several ways… Read more »
