12 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Custom Enclosure Air Conditioner


12 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Custom Enclosure Air Conditioner Photo

For the majority of enclosure cooling applications, a standard Kooltronic enclosure air conditioner will usually fit the bill as they are specially-designed to accommodate various applications (broad-application design). These types of enclosure cooling products are a great choice to make an electrical system run efficiently. Additionally, for many Kooltronic panel air conditioners, there are numerous accessories and options available, including: heaters, remote monitoring, special motors, or internal corrosion protection – all of which can be beneficial in certain installations. As an example, Kooltronic’s DP21 electrical panel air conditioner provides a representative view of product features that come standard, as well as accessories or options that can be included to enhance performance, suit a particular location, or support a specific application.



However, after evaluating an application, it may be determined that a standard enclosure air conditioner, even with options, will not be sufficient. How does one move forward? Answering the questions below is the best way to address concerns one may have regarding a particular application. With answers to these questions in mind, a design for a unique, application-specific electrical cabinet cooling system can then be considered.

 

  1. What is the internal heat load to be dissipated (BTU/H or watts)?
  2. What is the cabinet height/width/depth (inches)?
  3. What is the maximum ambient (surrounding) temperature (°F)?
  4. What is the desired average enclosure temperature (°F)?
  5. What is the desired maximum enclosure temperature (°F)?
  6. Will this enclosure be located outdoors?
  7. If insulated, what is the cabinet's insulation R-value?
  8. What voltages and frequencies are required (i.e. 115V, 60 Hz; 230V, 60 Hz)?
  9. Is there a preferred mounting surface (i.e. top, front)?
  10. Is corrosion resistance coating required?
  11. What is the product application?
  12. Additional details, comments or requirements (i.e. Underwriters Laboratories or other agency certifications, NEMA 4/4X).
