FEATURE ENCLOSURES


Reduce downtime, equipment failure and energy use


J


ust like buildings, enclosures need to be able to manage their internal


environments, with moisture levels being sufficiently low to avoid condensation forming, and internal temperatures maintained to within a few degrees. To do this effectively requires careful management of the climate within the enclosure. Failing to have climate control units installed puts the systems responsible for managing its manufacturing processes at risk. Any consideration of the cost of a climate control system needs to be weighed up against the potentially higher losses associated with replacement drives, as well as productivity. Essentially, adopting a whole-life


costing approach to installing cooling units should be considered best practice by all facilities managers and panel builders.


The manufacturing automation systems that enclosures are designed to protect, are delicate and very expensive pieces of kit which perform vital functions for the businesses they serve


WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT TEMPERATURE CHECKS? A typical operating ambient temperature for electrical equipment is 35o°C. If the air in which it operates is warmer than this, because heat is not being effectively dissipated, then the system will be running hotter than it should. Control system components typically fail more frequently as temperatures rise, so


Enclosures from the smallest to the largest.
