Types of Computer Enclosure Gaskets

Enclosure gaskets create a seal between an enclosure body and its doors, helping prevent dust, dirt, water, and other contaminants from reaching sensitive electronics. Choosing the right gasket material depends on factors such as temperature, environmental exposure, chemical resistance, and the requirements of the enclosure. What Is an Enclosure Gasket and Why Is It Important? […]

Cleanliness and NEMA 4X Enclosures

  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 […]

Deploying Computer Enclosures Outdoors

  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, […]

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 […]

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 […]
