Pentair launches Schroff embeddedNUC™ Case with Integrated Cooling Solution
P
rocessors are increasingly smaller, more powerful and more economical. To extend the benefits of the system to industrial applications, the SDT.03
working group of the SGET e.V. standardizing consortium has developed and published a specific 'embeddedNUC™' standard as a foundation. The standard takes into account the interfaces relevant to industrial applications, the long-term availability of processors and other electronic components and failsafe, fan-less conduction cooling. Small and powerful PC units can now be used as decentralized control and monitoring units in automation systems. Pentair now offers its first compact Schroff case with an integrated cooling solution and compliant with the new standard. As a member of the standardization consortium, Pentair experts
played an active role in the SDT.03 working group. In particular, Pentair contributed its know-how in conceptual case design and effective passive cooling. The specification defines not only the electronic parameters concerning connectors, power supply, interfaces etc. but also mechanical aspects such as the size of the board (101.60 mm x 101.60 mm) with the fixing holes and the heights and positions of the electronic components on the front and rear sides of the board. The basic dimensions (width and depth) of a case are determined by the board size. The height of the case remains variable, since it has to be adapted to the height of the electronic components and to the conduction cooling. Similarly, cutout locations on the front or rear of the case for connectors etc. remain undefined as these depend on the application. The defined temperature range for operation lies between 0 and +60 °C or extended from -40 to 85 °C. The new Schroff embeddedNUC™ case developed by Pentair is based on the
Schroff Interscale platform of cases. It consists of just three parts (body, top cover and front panel) and offers standard platform flexibility in dimensions, cutouts, colors and printing etc. The EMC-shielded case is simple to assemble and is fixed in place with just two screws. Heat sinks for conduction cooling are integrated in the top cover. Pentair has developed and patented special
thermally conductive elements in metal to transfer the heat from the processors to the case surface. These elements are variable in height so that they can stay in constant contact with processors of different heights. The dissipated heat is transferred consistently by conduction to the heat sinks and then passed to the environment by means of convection and radiation. Another benefit of direct heat dissipation is better processor performance and higher clock speeds. Further information about the Interscale case platform is available at

Dual Control & Protection for Enclosure Environments
Regulate the temperature and humidity in your enclosures with the new Fandis dual thermostat from Axair. Designed to operate with heaters or fans, the dual system removes the need to purchase two separate devices, allowing you to control your ventilation and anti-condensation systems independently and simultaneously, from one compact unit. Not only will you reap the benefits of not having to buy, install and operate two devices, other
advantages of using the bi-metallic twin thermostat include a reduction in temperature fluctuations, a reduction in fan noise omissions and a reduction in power consumption, it will even help to extend fan lifetime. As with many Axair products, the Fandis twin thermostat can save you time and money. The CE approved unit operates from -10 degrees c to 80 degrees c and runs on voltages between
100Vac and -250Vac. Housed within a durable polyamide casing, fitting is a simple snap-on process, with the unit easily attached to a standard (EN 50 022) 35MM rail. For more information or to request a datasheet, contact one of their engineers today.
