Control cabinet air conditioning unit – always the right temperature
häwa air-conditioning units for control cabinets regulate the temperature inside enclosures and control cabinets to ensure the functional performance of electrical components. Discover the range of different air-conditioning units from häwa.
Control cabinet air conditioning from häwa
Electrical components in enclosures and cabinets heat up due to their power loss. As a result, the operating temperature of the electrical components may be exceeded under certain circumstances and proper functioning can no longer be guaranteed. If the radiation over the surface of the enclosure or control cabinet is insufficient, the temperature is regulated to the permissible dimensions by means of heaters, filter fans, heat exchangers or air conditioners.
What is the purpose of air conditioning for control cabinets?
Control cabinet air conditioning from häwa ensures that the climate inside the control cabinets remains stable over the long term – regardless of the application of heating, cooling or ventilation. The correct temperature ensures that the electrical components remain functional.
The tasks of häwa control cabinet air conditioning systems:
- Temperature control: Electronic components generate heat during operation. Excessive heat or overheating can shorten the lifespan of electronic components and affect the reliability of the system. Temperature controllers help to keep the temperature inside the control cabinet at a safe level by switching the häwa air conditioning on or off.
- Humidity and condensation control: In addition to temperature, humidity is a further challenge for electronic components. Excessive humidity can lead to corrosion and electrical shorts. häwa humidity regulators are used in conjunction with häwa climate control systems or components to prevent condensation.
- Dust and dirt protection: Control cabinet climate control systems can help to prevent dust and dirt from entering. This is particularly important in industrial environments where dust and dirt can damage electronic components and impair cooling capacity.
- Ensuring functionality: Maintaining optimal conditions in the control cabinet is crucial for the operational readiness and output of machines and systems.
häwa's climate calculator for control cabinets
häwa developed the climate calculator for control cabinets to calculate the required heating or cooling capacity inside your enclosure or control cabinet and to recommend suitable häwa products for the application. This program can also be used to calculate the power loss from individual assemblies or devices, the required control cabinet surface area or the required heating capacity during standstill and operation.
Careful analysis and calculation of these factors is essential for the design of an efficient cooling and heating system that ensures the safety and efficiency of the electronic components in the control cabinet.
Where are climate control units for control cabinets used?
By maintaining an optimal temperature and humidity level in the control cabinets, cabinet climate control units help to increase the reliability and service life of electronic components and reduce the likelihood of failures. Here are some typical applications for cabinet climate control units:
- Industrial production plants: In production environments with a high level of automation, cabinet climate control units are essential to ensure the precise functioning of machines and systems.
- Data centers and server rooms: They protect sensitive IT hardware from overheating and thus help to maintain system integrity and data availability.
- Transportation technology: In transportation technology, they are used to cool the electronics in control systems for rail vehicles, signaling technology and traffic monitoring.
- Telecommunications infrastructure: They ensure that the control cabinets containing the technology necessary for the operation of communication networks are cooled.
- Power generation and distribution: In power plants and substations, they help keep the generator control systems and distribution networks operational.
- Medical technology: They are used to ensure the precision and reliability of control systems in medical devices.
