From now until September 30, 2021, nVent Hoffman is offering free thermal audits to help you identify and solve climate control problems in your enclosures.
A thermal audit quickly identifies problem areas and offers compelling evidence of excess heat that can affect performance and potentially damage your critical equipment. Keeping your electronics cool is essential to maximizing the life cycles of your electronic devices, reducing capital expenses, and keeping your business running. Heat can have a significant impact on electronics by reducing performance, causing damage, and affecting manufacturer warranties.
What does a thermal audit include?
Enclosure Inspection
A Hoffman specialist will identify and inspect every enclosure and cooling unit in your facility as well as analyze the environment.
Thermal Analysis
The specialist will then take an in-depth look inside your enclosures to identify problematic electronics and components.
Recommendations
Finally, after an audit is conducted, a personalized report will provided for all the enclosures with solution recommendations.
Sources of Damaging Heat
Heat can be generated internally by electronic components and intensified by external sources. Inside a cabinet, uncooled components can generate as much trapped heat as a home furnace.
AC power supplies
Controllers, drives, and servos
Transformers and rectifiers
Processors and server racks
Radio equipment
Heat is also generated from sources outside the enclosure such as:
Solar heat gain
High ambient temperature
Welding processes
Paint oven
Blast furnace
Foundry equipment
