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. 

An updated online heat load calculator allows users to determine cooling requirements for their specific enclosure. The online tool is designed to help users size enclosure cooling systems.

Industrial air-conditioner cooling units often are used for cooling sealed enclosures. Yet, a cooler ambient environment could be used to help cool a warm electrical enclosure. 

The popularity of enclosure coolers has grown exponentially in the last 40 years. The implementation of more sophisticated electrical equipment in industrial applications led to a demand for a more effective method to control enclosure internal temperatures.

The miniaturization of high powered electronics — and the requisite component density that entails — have led engineers to explore cooling methods of increasing complexity. 

Tunnel Series offers cooling capacities exceeding 100 W. Available in standard and custom configurations, the thermoelectric assemblies offer a compact form factor that fits inside analytical and medical instrumentation with tight space constraints.

Corrosion-resistant Type 316 side-mount kits make the mounting of a NEMA 4X cabinet cooler possible when an electrical enclosure has limited space on the top or side.

ProtEX Vortex A/C, certified for Zones 1 and 21, is suited for industrial facilities with hazardous locations that require ATEX certification. Models 8115, 8125, 8135 and 8170 are certified to the latest EN ISO 80079-36:2016 standard and meet the needs of industrial processors requiring safe enclosure cooling in hazardous locations. 

Numerous studies have tested and shown that modern industrial electrical and electronic components — from switches and timers to PLCs and AC drives/inverters — operate most reliably and have the longest service life when the temperatures they are subjected to are kept at or below the manufacturer-specified rating.

Prewired to ease installation, Vortex AC can be operational in minutes to quickly cool sensitive electronics and controls.
