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… Read more »

Are Heat Exchangers Safe for Hazardous Locations?

Many of today’s most vital industries, such as oil and gas production, operate in locations and under conditions that are typically more demanding than traditional technology and equipment can handle. Climates can often exceed normal maximum operating temperatures, and the immediate environment can be rife with hazardous, volatile substances. The challenge for implementing technology under… Read more »

2 Reasons why Heat Exchangers Work in Hazardous Conditions

For most general operating conditions, heat exchangers have long been an obvious solution to providing efficient and eco-friendly electrical thermal management. However, for conditions that are more demanding and require an equal balance of high performance and optimal safety, heat exchangers don’t always seem like the most fitting solution. Nevertheless, many types of heat exchangers… Read more »

Safe and Efficient Cooling in Hazardous Applications

Technology that is employed into hazardous locations, like extreme climates or oil and gas fields, have always had to be crafted with several special considerations in mind. Given the volatile environments that they operate in, such technological solutions have to be as safe, sturdy, and reliable as they are efficient and effective. For example, besides… Read more »

Do Heat Exchangers Really Work in Hazardous Conditions?

When it comes to nearly all forms of manufacturing and all types of industries, the benefits of heat exchangers are so well-known and widespread that most companies have adopted them in a wide variety of forms. To spread those benefits even further, heat exchangers have also advanced enough to operate reliably and efficiently in hazardous… Read more »

Heat Exchangers for Applications Outside of the Warehouse

Some of the most well-known benefits of modern heat exchangers are the cost and energy savings they bring to manufacturing operations. They’ve also become increasingly more recognized for bringing those same benefits to smaller, highly precise applications, like cooling high-performance electronics and computer processors. For some industries, though, the most impactful benefit of heat exchangers… Read more »

Why Are Heat Exchangers Preferable for Hazardous Locations?

Heat exchangers haven’t always been a viable solution for companies that operate in hazardous locations. In fact, it wasn’t until recently (in 2015) that Noren Thermal became the first manufacturer to receive the appropriate certification for their heat exchangers to operate in hazardous conditions. Since then, however, industries that operate mainly in tough conditions and… Read more »

Since the introduction of Noren’s Hazloc line of UL-certified heat exchangers, companies that operate in hazardous locations have finally been able to enjoy the cost and energy-saving benefits of heat exchanger technology. In addition to the ability to cool electronics and manufacturing equipment with greater efficiency and reliability, our certified heat exchangers also provide a… Read more »

Protecting Outdoor Electrical Enclosures During the Winter

The good news about cold weather is that it can make electrical cabinet cooling easier, especially for ambient heat exchangers. However, the cold weather, strong winds, and extra moisture can also lead to increased concerns about the integrity of electrical enclosures that operate outdoors. For instance, overheating may be slightly less of a concern, but… Read more »

How to Save on Cooling in Hazardous Locations

Over the last several decades, a variety of industries have taken advantage of heat exchanger technology to cut down on the energy and maintenance costs of running electrical equipment. Today, even facilities and equipment that operate in hazardous conditions can enjoy the same benefits thanks to Noren’s Hazloc heat exchangers, which are certified per UL/cUL… Read more »
