When it comes to maintaining sanitary equipment in the food and beverage industry, operators should be proactive about the overall cleanliness of their facility. In 2011, President Barack Obama signed into law the biggest overhaul of American food safety laws since the 1930s. “The legislation gives the federal Food and Drug Administration the authority […]
Using a computer outdoors exposes sensitive electronics to conditions they typically aren’t designed to withstand, including rain, dust, humidity, direct sunlight, and extreme temperatures. An appropriately rated outdoor computer enclosure can help protect the equipment while providing the environmental protection and thermal management required for reliable operation. When deploying computer enclosures in outdoor environments, […]
NEMA 4X enclosure cooling requires balancing temperature control with the environmental protection required for the enclosure. Depending on the application, cooling options can include heat exchangers, vortex coolers, and air conditioners designed for the enclosure and operating environment. Understanding NEMA 4X Enclosure Cooling When deploying enclosures in an environment with extreme temperatures, thermal management […]
Humidity can create serious challenges for computers and electronics in industrial environments. Moisture and condensation can contribute to corrosion, equipment damage, and downtime, making the right enclosure and thermal management system important when electronics are installed in humid conditions. Protecting Electronics in Humid Environments In many harsh, manufacturing settings, printers, computers, monitors, and electrical equipment […]
Industrial enclosures protect computers, printers, monitors, and other electronics from the conditions around them. Choosing the right enclosure material starts with understanding those conditions. Dust, water, cleaning chemicals, corrosion, temperature, and installation requirements all influence material selection. The enclosure’s construction and NEMA rating must also suit the equipment and environment. 3 Common Industrial Enclosure Materials […]
