Thermal Management

Cooling for Maximum Performance

Various cooling solutions are available to address the thermal management needs of electrical equipment. The choice of cooling method depends on factors such as equipment size, power density, environmental conditions, and cost considerations.

Effective Thermal Management of Electrical Equipment

In today’s fast-paced and high-demand environment, electrical equipment is constantly pushed to its limits, generating significant heat.

Overheating can cause components to degrade faster, increasing maintenance costs and downtime. To address this challenge, companies must prioritize implementing robust thermal management systems that effectively dissipate heat and maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Effective thermal management is not without its challenges. One of the most common challenges is limited space within electrical equipment enclosures. As technology evolves, equipment becomes more compact, leaving little room for traditional cooling methods.

Another challenge is the increasing power density of electrical equipment. Higher power densities generate more heat in a smaller space, making dissipating more difficult. This requires innovative cooling solutions that can handle the higher heat loads without compromising performance.

Additionally, environmental factors such as ambient temperature, humidity, and dust can impact the performance of cooling systems. It is essential to consider these factors when designing and implementing thermal management strategies to ensure optimal performance and longevity of electrical equipment.

Heatex offers two types of plate heat exchangers suitable for electronic cooling systems: crossflow and counterflow.

In a crossflow exchanger, the cold and the warm air flow perpendicular to each other. In a counterflow exchanger, the two airstreams flow in opposite directions. The application determines which heat exchanger type provides the best solution.

  • Thanks to a simple but robust design, air-to-air heat exchangers require very low maintenance.
  • Using natural heat flux in combination with high-performance design keeps running costs low.
  • The electronic equipment is protected from water and dust by separating the two air flows.
  • Air-to-air heat exchangers are flexible and easy to design and implement using air as a cooling medium.
