Do Heat Exchangers Really Outperform Air Conditioners?

Since the industrial revolution, industries have continuously sought ways to boost their productivity while finding ways to keep overhead costs reasonably low. In many instances, that has meant investing in ways to better manage the costs of energy consumption and routine maintenance on complex manufacturing equipment. For over 40 years, Noren Thermal has helped pioneer… Read more »

Efficient Cabinet Cooling for NEMA Enclosures

The level of environmental contamination that electrical enclosures are exposed to can significantly affect their safety and efficiency.  To help regulate electrical enclosures and their cooling units, the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) has created sets of standards for enclosures of all types and sizes. For NEMA-certified electrical cabinets, heat exchanger units not only perform… Read more »

The Many Benefits of Heat Exchanger Technology

As heat exchangers continue to evolve, more industries are employing them for an increasingly diverse range of applications. While air-to-air and air-to-water heat exchangers have long been popular solutions for cooling large electrical enclosures, their benefits are even more pronounced as technology grows smaller and more efficient. With Noren’s experience in customizing solutions for virtually… Read more »
