Compressed Air Enclosure Cooling

Compressor based air conditioners rely on chemical refrigerants to remove heat from electronic electrical enclosures.

Compressed air enclosure cooling.

Air conditioners utilizing thermoelectric coolers are often considered as an alternative to conventional vapor compression systems for enclosure cooling. A vortex enclosure cooler converts factory compressed air into filtered cooled air without electricity or refrigerant. Thanks to the mechanical thermostat there is no need to provide electricity to a thermostat or hook up a solenoid valve. Exair s efc is a user friendly electronic flow control for compressed air that is designed to minimize compressed air use on blow off drying cooling conveying and static elimination operations.

A vortex a c can be installed on a standard enclosure in about 5 minutes. They are good for low to moderate cooling from 400 to 5 000 btu and where emi rfi must be minimized. The efc combines a photoelectric sensor with a timing control that limits compressed air use by turning it off when no part is present. Easily mounted in a standard electrical knockout a vortex enclosure cooler can quickly be connected to an air line for an immediate supply of cool clean air with no rf interference.

These vortex tubes chill compressed air by 50 f or more. Vortex enclosure cooler efficiency. Set the thermostat and the tubes switch on only when needed. They include a ducting kit to distribute cool air throughout the enclosure.

Because a thermoelectric cooler is compact robust and completely solid state the inherent reliability of such a system is attractive to engineers and end users alike. This cold air can then be applied to cool whatever is required. They convert compressed air into a stream of cold air to keep electronics within enclosures from overheating while also keeping dust and other contaminants out. At the cool end of the vortex tube air flows as cool as minus 50 degree c can be achieved.

And avoid contamination with dirty humid air caused by fans. In addition to refrigerants these air conditioners also use compressors evaporators condensers and fans to provide cooling. Vortex coolers are used where compressed air is available from another part of the factory. Often used in low noise environments such as labs and clean rooms these are quieter than standard enclosure cooling vortex tubes.
