Embedded computing systems are rapidly increasing in power densities, making thermal solutions a major design concern. In most cases, designers prefer a predominantly conduction cooled approach.

Designed for indoor, outdoor, remote and washdown applications that require a closed-loop system to protect electronics, PKS Series can be used to cool sealed enclosures and is suited for cooling industrial electrical components that need dust protection. 

The mechanical rooms in large multi-building industrial facilities are the hub of process temperature and climate control. Areas such as central utility plants, boiler and chiller rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, and fuel rooms house myriad process cooling and heating equipment as well as systems for comfort heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment and systems.

Electrical equipment is almost always specified by manufacturers for operation within an optimal temperature range. That range is defined by the conditions that will ensure the equipment’s reliability, performance, efficiency and physical integrity are protected.

In countless process facilities, power plants and oil fields across the country, machinery is hard at work producing materials, electricity, oil, gas and other goods that keep the U.S. economy humming. 

Energy efficiency is particularly important in data center cooling applications. With continuous cooling demand, each incremental reduction in power consumption reduces energy bills. 

Whether it is a food manufacturer following a plant ammonia leak, a food supplier relocating its freezer to a larger site, or an asphalt plant facing a potential temperature crisis, and emergency — or even a planned, temporary disruption — can disrupt business as usual. Companies in the process industries should consider their cooling and cold storage needs before demand strikes to keep their businesses thriving and minimize losses.

Model EC impellers are suited for air-moving applications, including cooling of motor controls, electronics, power converter cabinets and modular air conditioners.

Designed to cool dust- and oil-tight enclosures, enclosure cooling components typically operate without much intervention. Devices such as Exair’s cabinet coolers have no moving parts and do not require maintenance — as long as they are supplied clean, dry compressed air.

ProtEX Vortex A/C enclosure cooler was granted certification for Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D; Class II, Division 1, Groups F and G; and Class III. The UL classification is on top of the existing ATEX certification for Zones 1 and 21, which complies with the latest EN ISO 80079 36:2016 standard.
