Can Heat Exchangers Achieve Below-Ambient Cooling?
Heat exchangers can do a lot of things in the realm of electrical thermal management. For example, they can handle large amounts of electrical waste heat in a manner that’s just as effective and much more efficient than traditional cooling solutions. They can also help companies save significantly on the costs of thermal management, especially… Read more »
Ambient and Below-Ambient Cooling with Heat Exchangers
There are many different ways for companies to cool their electrical control panels and other enclosures, each with different approaches to handling electrical waste heat. Some methods help streamline the process of electrical cooling by creating efficient, reliable ambient cooling methods. They prevent overheating by keeping temperatures within electrical enclosures at just above the ambient… Read more »
Are Heat Exchangers Effective for Below-Ambient Cooling?
With their ability to make ambient cooling a viable solution for electrical thermal management, heat exchangers have long been recognized as some of the most efficient electrical cooling solutions. For most applications, ambient cooling is more than adequate to prevent electrical overheating, and the simplified processes by which heat exchangers transfer heat are significantly more… Read more »
A Brief Look at the Benefits of Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers have long been an important part of many companies’ thermal management processes, and for many good reasons. However, before they became popular, industries first had to let go of several misconceptions they held about electrical thermal management. For example, it was once believed that the only way to effectively prevent an electrical enclosure… Read more »
Using Heat Exchangers for Below-Ambient Cooling
When it comes to high-performance electrical thermal management, heat exchangers that provide efficient, ambient cooling are often more than enough to prevent electrical overheating. Despite using natural methods to transfer heat, they can often offer cooling solutions that are just as powerful and usually more efficient than older solutions, such as HVAC equipment. The one… Read more »
Creating Below-Ambient Cooling without Chilled Air
For most common systems, the maximum operating temperature of a given application is much higher than the ambient temperature around it. Therefore, for such applications, there is no pressing need to have to chill the inside of electrical enclosures to prevent them from overheating. That’s why heat exchangers first became a more popular alternative. Instead… Read more »
An Eco-Friendly Way to Achieve Below-Ambient Cooling
Heat exchangers have always been widely recognized as the more eco-friendly cooling solution for most electrical systems. Compared to more traditional solutions, the unique heat transfer concepts that heat exchangers use to prevent electrical overheating are much less energy and cost intensive, and they don’t allow for the release of any contaminants into the environment….

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…. Read more »
When Is Below-Ambient Cooling Necessary?
When it comes to electrical enclosures, ambient refers to the temperature just outside of the enclosure. In many applications, this temperature is well below the system’s maximum operating temperature and offers a sufficient baseline for cooling the enclosure. However, in some applications, a system’s high demands and/or the environment surrounding the equipment makes it necessary… Read more »
