Thermostatically controlled Enclosure VORTEX Coolers

Standard Vortex Enclosure Coolers are available in NEMA 12, NEMA 4, and NEMA 4X versions, and can be purchased with an electric thermostat or without a thermostat (constant run). The electrical cabinet cooling thermostat model maintains tight control on the temperature setpoint of +/- 3 deg F. Vortex electric enclosure cooling systems are available in cooling capacities ranging from 400 BTU/hr to 5000 BTU/hr.

Enclosure Air Coolers keep Electrical and Electronic Enclosures cool, clean, and protected and are a low-cost alternative to expensive, high-maintenance air conditioners; and avoid contamination with dirty, humid air caused by fans.

Today’s small, compact multi-function electronic controls, variable speed drives, servos, and programmable logic controllers are extremely sensitive to heat and contamination. Smaller cabinet sizes make temperature control difficult and prone to premature failures. Excessive heat will cause digital displays to misread, controls to drift, and breakers to trip below-rated loads. The result is productivity lost due to machine or line shutdowns.

Vortex Enclosure Coolers maintain a slight pressurization in the cabinet to keep electrical and electronic components clean and dry, and most are thermostatically controlled to maintain enclosure temperatures within a specified temperature range.

Case Studies

TARGETED COOLING OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN HOT & DIRTY ENVIRONMENTS
Company Overview One of the many industries Vortec serves is steel manufacturing. Steel plants require high levels of heat to shape their product. However, excess heat can fry electrical systems and cause plant shutdowns. Vortec’s specialized products can deliver targeted cooling where it is needed, enabling steel plants to maintain production quotas.

The Challenge When one of Vortec’s steel industry clients built a new compressor building, plant employees discovered the compressors’ own radiant heat, combined with the typical hot conditions of a steel manufacturing facilityand regional high temperatures, resulted in frequent overheating of the compressor control panels. The plant manager noted that “We were experiencing downtime when the compressors became too hot. We obviously didn’t want to re-engineer the whole building, so we needed some way of cooling the compressors, which are very critical to our operation. Because we’re a steel mill—which is a horrendously dirty and dusty environment—we also needed some way of keeping this sensitive electronic equipment clean.”

The Solution The steel plant manager did some hunting to solve this problem which was hindering production. “When I found Vortec’s enclosure cooling product, I knew it would do what we needed,” he notes. The facility now uses Vortec’s model 787 Vortex Coolers. The Vortex Coolers serve a dual purpose at the steel mill, both cooling and purging the control panels, with cold air pressurizing the panel so that dirt cannot get into the panel. “Vortec’s product is very simple to use, reliable and within our budget,” states the satisfied client.

How Steel Plants Benefit from Using Vortec “With the Vortex enclosure cooler, we can maintain a cooler operating temperature which means our compressors don’t shut down anymore,” notes the steel mill manager who has installed Vortex Coolers in his plant. “That means we don’t lose production time. Plus, the company’s investment in the compressors is protected: we know they’re going to last a longer time because they’re not getting dirt and dust in the works.”

The Conclusion The plant manager, a twenty-year veteran of the steel industry, observes “we have used the Vortex coolers on a regular basis for several years now. If we need any additional cooling products, we would definitely go to Vortec. They make a good, made in the USA product that holds up great and is inexpensive. I absolutely recommend their products to anyone looking for cooling solutions.”

Enclosure Cooling and Pressurization

The Challenge A large manufacturer of automated spraying equipment was having problems keeping their equipment’s control panels protected from airborne mists and internal heat generated from the electronics. The filter fans they used in most installations could not keep out the ultra-fine airborne mists which would over time settle on the electronics and cause failures. Switching from filter fans to closed-loop Freon air conditioners protected the manufacturer’s panels, however, the A/Cs would eventually fail as the mist (and dirt) were drawn into the condenser coil, causing excessive head pressures leading to expensive compressor failures.

The Solution The manufacturer called Vortec looking for a solution that would allow them to keep their control panel sealed and slightly pressurized to protect their electronics from the airborne mist and internal heat. Vortec’s application engineer recommended a NEMA 4 model 787 Vortex Enclosure Cooling system controlled with a pressure regulator. The spraying equipment field service rep determines and sets the 787’s operating pressure with the regulator for each individual installation. The Vortec 787 keeps the control panel interior slightly above ambient pressure and produces enough cooling to mitigate the internal and external heat loads. Installation and set-up is simple and the 787 takes up a fraction of the space on the panel that the Freon air conditioner occupied. Since then, the manufacturer has retrofitted all their existing installations with the 787 Vortex Enclosure Cooler and specifies it exclusively on their new control panels.
