When heat exchangers were first introduced as an industrial solution for cooling electrical enclosures and control panels, their most notable benefit was their ability to prevent electrical overheating by simply redirecting heat. As long as a system’s maximum operating temperature was lower than the ambient temperature outside of the enclosure, transferring waste heat away from… Read more »

Heat exchangers of all types are preferable for a wide range of applications in virtually every type of industry. However, some types of heat exchangers are better suited to certain conditions, and choosing the right solution depends on what those conditions are. For instance, while ambient heat exchangers are often the most efficient solution, some… Read more »

Ambient heat exchangers are like a constant breath of fresh air for modern electrical enclosures. Using natural/forced convection instead of air conditioning methods is as close as electrical components can get to operating in the fresh, open air instead of within an enclosure. Yet, many applications require cooling solutions that go below the ambient temperature… Read more »

Heat exchangers are commonly known for their ability to cool electrical enclosures to just above ambient temperatures, providing continuous thermal management with minimal effort. Sometimes, though, ambient temperatures can be higher than the maximum operating temperature of an electrical system, making ambient heat exchangers ineffective. In such cases, Noren can provide high-performance, below-ambient heat exchangers… Read more »

When the ambient temperature outside of an electrical enclosure is below the maximum operating temperature of the equipment inside of it, an ambient heat exchanger may be the most efficient thermal management options. However, when the enclosure is located in a particularly hot area, ambient cooling may not be sufficient. Fortunately, air-to-water heat exchangers can… Read more »

Even on a relatively hot day, most climates are still cool enough for modern electrical equipment to operate efficiently (assuming its circuits weren’t sealed off in small enclosures). For this reason, many industries rely on ambient heat exchangers for more efficient thermal management rather than air conditioners that dramatically lower temperatures inside of electrical enclosures….

For decades, ambient cooling technology has given manufacturing and other companies significant cost-saving benefits on their electrical thermal management needs. By continuously transferring electrical waste heat, ambient heat exchangers can keep the temperature inside of an electrical enclosure at just above the ambient temperature outside of it. However, there are cases when ambient temperatures are… Read more »

For decades, industries have turned increasingly more to heat exchangers for a wide range of thermal management needs, largely replacing the need for more expensive air conditioners and air compressing units. From keeping large-scale electrical control panels properly cooled to helping make automated and other technology more productive, heat exchangers can be designed for a… Read more »

Electronic components naturally give off heat. Because they are typically enclosed to save space and prevent contamination, control panels and other electrical systems must be proactively cooled to prevent trapped heat from damaging them. In many cases, the most efficient way to stop heat pockets from forming is by transferring the heat away from the… Read more »

Industrial control panels are utilized for a wide variety of applications and operate in an equally wide variety of locations. Given the number of electrical components in each panel, the waste heat that they emit is enough to cause the electronics to overheat and malfunction. In many locations, the additional heat of the summer months… Read more »
