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 »

Keeping Industrial Control Panels Cool During the Summer
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 »
What If It’s Too Hot for an Air-to-Air Heat Exchanger?
In most climates, air-to-air ambient heat exchangers are a highly efficient solution for managing electric waste heat. However, they rely on the ambient temperature being below the maximum operating temperature of the equipment inside the electrical enclosure. When the ambient temperature outside is too hot for an air-to-air heat exchanger to work, an air-to-water heat… Read more »
Achieve Below Ambient Cooling with Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers
It’s been traditionally accepted that achieving below ambient cooling required refrigerant-based air conditioning or compressed air coolers, making air-to-air heat exchangers unfit for certain high ambient applications. Fortunately, that’s often no longer the case, thanks to Noren’s innovative air-to-water heat exchangers that can cool electronics relying solely on water temperature. Air-to-water coolers provide the benefits… Read more »
Air-to-Air vs. Air-to-Water Heat Exchangers: Which Are Better?
The waste heat that electronics give off can damage circuits and other components. In many cases, though, controlling that heat doesn’t necessarily require chilling the entire enclosure, which means air conditioners and compressed air coolers are often unnecessary. A better alternative is to keep the air cool by dissipating the heat emanating from the circuits…. Read more »
