Electronics Cabinet With Integrated Cooling System, Reconfigurable Mounting System, or Both
Systems and apparatus for housing electronics for industrial systems, such as industrial product marking systems, include a cabinet including: a frame defining an exterior channel; a side panel that attaches to the frame, and a handle located in the side panel and defining a vent hole within the handle, the vent hole being aligned with the channel, thereby allowing air to cool equipment when present within an interior portion of the frame. The systems and apparatus further include a cabinet including: a frame; and a panel configured to attach to a side of the frame separate from its two walls; wherein each of the two walls on opposite sides of the frame defines a shape that receives a structure to support the cabinet and receives fasteners on both sides of the wall to mount equipment on both an interior portion of the frame and an exterior portion of the frame.
AIR FLOW GENERATING DEVICE
An air flow generating device includes an enclosing wall, a frame sheet, a cover film, and a vibrating part. The frame sheet is disposed inside an air flow passage formed by the enclosing wall and closely contacts the air flow passage by its periphery. The cover film includes a central connection portion fixed to a central portion of the frame sheet, and a plurality of movable cover portions connected to the central connection portion. The cover film is between the frame sheet and an outlet of the air flow passage. The movable cover portions selectively cover a plurality of through holes of the frame sheet. The vibrating part is fixed on the frame sheet. When the vibrating part vibrates, the central portion and the central connection portion move together with the vibrating part so that the movable cover portions seal the through holes or move relative to the through holes.
Cooling unit for cooling the air admitted to the interior of a switchgear cabinet, and a corresponding switchgear cabinet arrangement
A cooling unit for cooling the air admitted to the interior of a switchgear cabinet (100), which cooling unit has an inner circuit, through which the air to be cooled is routed from a switchgear cabinet interior, and an outer circuit (3) which is fluidically partitioned from the inner circuit and through which the surrounding air is routed, wherein the inner circuit contains a first heat exchanger and the outer circuit contains a second heat exchanger, between which a coolant is circulating, wherein the heat exchangers have an air flow direction along which the heat exchangers allow air to pass between an air inlet side and an air outlet side, characterized in that at least one of the heat exchangers has a first air guide upstream on the air inlet side, which extends at an angle with 5<?<45? relative to the air inlet side and forms an air duct between itself and the air inlet side, which tapers along a dimension of the air inlet side.
Hazardous location cooling system and method for use thereof
An embodiment includes a cooling unit, including: a housing configured to attach to an enclosure opening in a sealed manner, where the enclosure houses heat generating electrical equipment; the housing including: a first ambient side area including a compressor, condensing coils, and an ambient air intake and outlet; a first enclosure side area situated above the first ambient side area and including an electrical box that includes one or more relays and a digital controller; a second enclosure side area extending along the rear side of the housing and communicating with the first enclosure side area, including an impeller, an enclosure air intake, an enclosure air return, and evaporator coils in fluid communication with the condenser coils; and a second ambient side area including an impeller and one or more hot air exhausts; where all components of the cooling unit are non-sparking and non-arcing; and where the first and second ambient side areas are sealed off from the first and second enclosure side areas. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Heat exchanger assemblies and methods for cooling the interior of an enclosure
Heat exchanger assemblies and methods are provided for cooling the interior of an enclosure (e.g., electrical cabinets, computer server racks, chemical chambers, and animal cages). Heat is transferred via thermal conduction from a first plurality of surfaces positioned inside the enclosure to a second plurality of surfaces positioned outside the enclosure. The first and second plurality of surfaces remain in thermal contact with one another during use. Heat is dissipated from the second plurality of surfaces to the ambient air outside the isolated environment without the ambient outside air mixing together with the air inside the enclosure. This, in turn, inexpensively removes heat from the air inside the enclosure and prevents contaminants from entering the enclosure.
ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLY COMPRISING A COOLING DEVICE WHICH IS RECEIVED IN AN ELECTRICAL ENCLOSURE HOUSING
A control cabinet arrangement, comprising a cooling device which is received in a control cabinet housing, wherein the cooling device can be slidably held on the control cabinet housing via a linear adjusting unit, particularly a bar system, and can be adjusted between a pull-out position and a slide-in position, wherein the cooling device in the slide-in position is completely received in the control cabinet housing, and in the pull-out position, the cooling device protrudes at least partially beyond a door side of the control cabinet housing from the control cabinet housing, and wherein a door element, which closes in its closed position the door side of the control cabinet housing, comprises at least one air passage opening which opens into an air outlet and/or an air inlet of the cooling device in the closed position of the door element, when the cooling device is in the slide-in position.
Airfoil frame for computer room air conditioning unit
A computer room air conditioner (CRAC) unit includes a housing having an inlet configured to receive IT air and an outlet configured to exhaust treated air. The CRAC unit further includes a heat exchanger supported by the housing and disposed between the inlet and the outlet of the housing and at least one fan module supported by the housing. The at least one fan module is configured to draw IT air into the housing through the inlet, direct IT air through the heat exchanger, and exhaust treated air through the outlet. The CRAC unit further includes an airfoil frame secured to the housing at the inlet of the housing.
Air conditioner for sealed enclosures
An air conditioner for an enclosure that can include a housing that partly defines an ambient air exchange cavity and a tub that further defines the ambient air exchange cavity and partly defines a cooling cavity. The tub can support a first heat exchanger within the ambient air exchange cavity, and a second heat exchanger and a fan within the cooling cavity. The second heat exchanger can be included in a coolant flow loop with the first heat exchanger and the fan can move air across the second heat exchanger and into the inlet of the enclosure. The second heat exchanger can be located above the fan. A fluid trap can be provided below the second heat exchanger and adjacent the fan to capture condensate from the second heat exchanger and can direct the condensate into the ambient air exchange cavity for disposal.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORCED AIR COOLING OF ELECTRICAL DEVICE
An invention relates to a field of electrical engineering, in particular to various cabinet-type electronic devices of a general purpose with an equipment airflow cooling, conducted by virtue of a forced ventilation, and can be used in construction of various electrical devices, particularly of electric motor control stations. A claimed invention essence lies in a fact that the forced air cooling system of the power and low-current components of the electrical device contains an air heat exchanger, the power electronic components, as well as coolers, being in a thermal contact with the low-current electronic components, configured to be cooled with the single flow of previously cleaned extraneous air directed from a top of the enclosure to its bottom part. The coolers are spaced along a length of an air channel of the electronic device, forming a mixing zone of heated and cool air.
OUTDOOR ELECTRONICS ENCLOSURE WITH DUAL HEAT EXCHANGERS
An electronics cabinet includes: an enclosure having a floor, a ceiling, a rear wall, opposed side walls, and a front wall that define an interior cavity; a divider panel that divides the interior cavity into upper and lower chambers; a first cooling system mounted to the enclosure to cool the upper chamber; and a second cooling system mounted to the enclosure to cool the lower chamber.
