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 […]
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 […]
When deploying computer, rack, monitor, or printer enclosures in a factory or industrial setting, thermal management (air conditioners, filtered fan systems, heat exchangers, etc.) should be considered to exponentially prolong the life of the chosen electronics. Once thermal management is installed on (or in) the enclosure, it is important to check and maintain the system […]
When installing electronics in a heavy-duty, NEMA rated computer enclosure, a cooling thermal management unit (air conditioner, filtered fan system, vortex cooling unit, heat exchanger) should be considered. Expensive equipment (like computers, thermal printers, LCD monitors and other related peripherals) can overheat inside of a sealed pc enclosure, thus causing electronics to cease working or, at the […]
Multiple challenges exist when deploying computer equipment in a manufacturing environment. Extreme temperature fluctuations, dust, dirt, grease and splashing fluids are threatening for expensive electronics. Prior to implementing electronics on the plant floor, the system designer has the option of specifying an industrially hardened computer or an aptly sealed industrial computer enclosure to be used with […]

What is the most effective way to determine what NEMA rated computer enclosure is best for a harsh facility? <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”https://www.youtube.com/embed/1d7mqaKdViU?si=ezo0Tm1Y0DetMFxB” title=”YouTube video player” frameborder=”0″ allow=”accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share” referrerpolicy=”strict-origin-when-cross-origin” allowfullscreen></iframe> In an industrial environment or machining factory, protecting a PC, printer, monitor, and related peripherals from dangers – like […]
How can a company avoid unexpected downtime? Since the early eighties, electronics have been ever-changing. Computers, monitors, and printers have come a long way over the last few decades. As the PC footprint is shrinking, monitor sizes are growing and growing. However, the need for NEMA rated, industrial computer enclosures, in harsh environments, has not […]
