Choosing the Right Industrial Enclosure: What to Look For

Computers, monitors, printers, and other electronics need protection from industrial conditions such as dust, water, grease, chemicals, and temperature extremes. To choose an industrial enclosure, start with the environment and required NEMA rating, then evaluate materials, equipment fit, thermal management, mounting, and operator access. The right combination protects your equipment while supporting the work around […]

Cooling for NEMA 4X Enclosures

  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 […]

Computer Enclosures in a Humid Environment

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 […]

Types of Enclosure Materials

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 […]

Keeping Electronics Cool Inside a Computer Enclosure

When storing electronics in a computer, monitor, printer, or rack enclosure, proper cooling is necessary to increase the overall life of the electronics. It comes as no surprise that heat can damage electronics. As a rule of thumb, the life expectancy of electronics is cut in half for every 18°F in which they operate above […]

Selecting an Electrical Enclosure – Items to Consider

When purchasing a heavy-duty electrical enclosure, performing the proper research will ensure that the installed electronics will be protected for many years. The wrong solution can cause critical components to overheat, contaminants (dust, dirt, fibers, lint) to enter the inside of the enclosure, and electronics to fail. In the long run, these issues will hemorrhage […]
