Enclosure Thermal Management

Filter Fans

Filter fans displace hot air inside the enclosure with cooler air from the outside (purchase intake/exhaust grille separately).

Filter fans are available in various voltages, NEMA ratings, mounting options, and in a range of airflow options.

Rack Fans

Fan kits for data communication racks extend the life of rack-mounted equipment by increasing airflow within the rack or cabinet. Fan kits are available with one or two fans, or in a fan tray version with three or nine fans.

Vortex Coolers

Compressed air cooling is used where conventional enclosure cooling by cabinet air conditioners or heat exchangers is not possible.

• Suitable for harsh environments
• Small physical size
• Creates cool air without refrigerants (no CFCs, HCFCs)
• Exceptionally reliable - no moving parts and virtually no maintenance

Heaters

Enclosure heaters controlled with thermostats, hygrostats and hygrotherms protect against condensation. They heat the air inside enclosures, preventing water vapor from condensing on components while providing the greatest possible air circulation and low energy consumption.

• Flat heaters offer an ultra thin design
• PTC (positive temperature coefficient) convection and fan heaters in compact sizes and touch-safe designs
• Space-saving fan heaters in panel or 35mm DIN rail mounting styles
• Compact heaters rated for hazardous locations
• Foot-mounted fan heaters are stationary units for mounting on the bottom of an enclosure

Thermostats and Hygrostats

Thermostats and hygrostats regulate temperature and humidity inside an enclosure. Electronic and mechanical models are available, with fixed or adjustable setpoints to fit a wide range of applications.

• Thermostats rated for hazardous areas
• Tamperproof thermostats with single or dual fixed setpoints
• Adjustable single and dual setpoint thermostats; dual setpoint units allow independent control of heating, cooling or other equipment.
• Electronic hygrostats (humidistats) sense relative humidity in enclosure and control a heater to help prevent the formation of condensation
• Electronic hygrotherms sense the ambient temperature and relative air humidity and control a connected device ON to adjust both temperature and humidity level

Ambient Sensors

Ambient sensors measure temperature and humidity and convert the data into a standardized analog 4-20 mA or a digital IO-Link signal.

Vents & Grilles

Newest Additions!

• Stahlin enclosure vents

Vents are ideal for applications where natural convection provides sufficient cooling for enclosure contents.

Grilles work together with filter fans to supply filtered cooler ambient air from outside the enclosure, reducing internal heat and protecting the devices inside the enclosure.

Breathers, Drains, & Compensators

Breathers/ventilators help prevent condensation by allowing enclosures to breathe and are designed to equalize internal/external pressure and temperature.

Drains allow condensation buildup, which can occur when the air inside the enclosure rapidly cools, to escape to the external environment.

Compensators are used to control the pressure inside a tightly sealed enclosure and compensate for pressure fluctuations caused by temperature changes.

Fan Hoods

Fan hoods are designed as an additional protection cover for intake and exhaust filter fans. This protection increases the NEMA rating of the associated filter fan.

• Available in various sizes
• Stainless steel hood
• Seal and mounting screws provided

Filter Media

Filter media includes an assortment of filters and filter mats designed for use with specific louvers, vents, air conditioners or filter fans.

Thermal Management Accessories

An assortment of accessories are available to help with installation and maintenance of thermal management products, including thermoelectric cooler mounting kits and vortex generators.
